Summary

“Follow the bread crumbs...”   Many people would say that the human race is entering an era of awakening. Whether that be in mind, body, spirit, or all three there is a good chance that if you’re reading this, you’d agree – or at least you’re interested. Talented physician and documentary filmmaker, Pedram Shojai, is on the show to discuss the concepts behind his two films, Vitality and Origins, and why he’s in the business of waking up zombies. On the show you’ll discover Pedram’s take on what we should be eating, how to make everything you do count the most, and why he’s trying to win the war against healthcare propaganda. Pedram is a great example of how to balance science and mysticism. After all, any good science warrants investigation. Please enjoy!     Pedram Shojai is former Taoist monk and an accomplished physician of Chinese medicine. He is the founder of Well.org, an author, and most recently a documentary filmmaker. After studying biology at UCLA he had a series of profound mystical experiences that drew him to the Eastern esoteric arts. He received a Master’s in Oriental Medicine from Emperor’s College and then his own OMD from the Pan-American University. Pedram has studied Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Yoga, Meditation, and medicine diligently for the past 20 years, and aims to help people wake up from their zombie haze and live their lives fully.

If you read my anti-aging book, you know that there are seven things that cause aging in your body,

0:04.7

and one of the biggest ones you could call zombie cells. Those are cells in your body

0:09.2

that are done living, but they don't really die. They sit around, they take up resources,

0:13.1

and they make free radicals and inflammation. As you age, you get more and more zombie cells.

0:18.2

They also cause aging symptoms like less energy and longer recovery times.

0:22.3

I've been working with my friends at Neurohacker on a formula that would cause your body

0:27.0

to eliminate those zombie cells. It's called qualia synolytics. It's a new kind of supplement.

0:33.1

It's got the most powerful, herbal, and natural synolytics, and it's so powerful you only take it

0:38.5

for two days per month to turn on this cleanup of your zombie cells. You don't take it every day

0:43.8

because you don't want your body to get rid of those cells every day because that would get in the

0:48.0

way of your body's normal functioning. In other words, you need to do a once a month cleaning cycle.

0:52.7

When you check it out, you'll feel the difference. Go to Neurohacker.com slash Dave,

You know, it's possible that your gut bacteria are part of what's making you old.

1:08.1

At this point, there is a huge amount of research suggesting that one of the secrets to living

1:13.0

a long, healthy life is controlling what's happening in your gut, and your specific combination of

1:19.4

gut bacteria can determine how well you age. One of your first lines of defense to protect your

1:24.5

gut is a good probiotic. If you've been following me for a while, you've probably heard about P3OM

1:30.8

from bioptimizers. So if you're looking to completely transform your digestion, especially if you

1:36.5

need help or you're looking for more energy or you just want to feel better, P3OM is the thing to

1:43.3

try. And because you listen to the show, bioptimizers is offering you a free bottle of P3OM

1:48.9

SuperStrand probiotics. I've used them. I've talked about my experience on the show.
