Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the energy blueprint podcast. With me today is my friend, Nick Belizzi, who has spent his career directing and producing feature-length documentaries about health, about natural alternatives

to conventional medicine. In this interview, he gets into some fascinating stuff around three,

what he calls ancient energy hacks. And I absolutely love this interview. I think it's packed

with gold nuggets. I know we were just

talking before we started recording about his new film that's about to come out called Proven,

which is basically examining science for all of these different healing modalities that are

outside the realm of conventional medicine that, you know, many people think, you know, there's a lot of people of conventional medicine that many people think,

there's a lot of people within conventional medicine that think, oh, if it had any science

to support it, it would be within conventional medicine already. It would be accepted and be standard

practice. And this is just so far from reality that it's just insane. I mean, we have modalities, for example, photo biomodulation, many, many other examples

of things like meditation and yoga practices that have huge bodies of good scientific evidence

on them showing very clear benefits benefits and yet they're not incorporated

into conventional medical practice.

I mean, just to put the insanity another way, we know that within the United States,

within the Western, the modern Western world, about 80% of the causes of death of the

disease burden are diseases directly related to nutrition

and lifestyle.

And yet within medical school, there is literally almost no training whatsoever on nutrition

and lifestyle.

So there is very clearly a gigantic gap between what we know in the science and what is common practice within conventional medicine.

And I'm really grateful to people like Nick for doing the work to show that to the world and say,

hey, here is the science.
