I was stoked when I got the chance to speak to human performance expert, Steven Kotler, about discovering purpose by accessing a flow state, and unleashing passions from your vision board out into the real world. 

Being “inflow” is a somewhat vague term frequently dropped in wellness circles that often lack the concrete tools to get you into that state or explain why it’s good for you. However, Steven’s performance principles, grounded in neuroscience, rigorous research, and real-life examples (myself being one of them), demonstrate how a flow state of mind can alter your daily routine and even your life’s trajectory. 

We dig into some of Steven’s core principles from his most recent book, The Art of the Impossible, and dissect the best ways to approach your dreaded to-do list so that you can squeeze more juice – with a dash of Dopamine – out of your everyday life.

Are you aware of the dangers of EMF exposure in your home, but have no idea where to start when it comes to finding, and fixing them? 

Are you concerned about your exposure to the current 3G, 4G, and 5G wireless networks now activated in most major cities?

Have you attempted to test the levels yourself using EMF meters you found online and ended up confused and frustrated?

EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are one of the most toxic elements in our living and work environments. Due to the technical nature of accurately testing for them—and the training required to do so properly—many of us resign ourselves to the fact that we just have to accept them and the consequences they bring in order to use the modern technology we depend on. But you don’t have to.

In this seven-part video documentary series, you will follow world-renowned building biologist Brian Hoyer as he tests an entire home, room by room, to determine the source and level of every known type of EMF.

By the end of this series, you will not only be thoroughly educated on the various types and sources of EMF commonly found in homes but also of the many mitigation tools and techniques available thanks to the cutting-edge technologies.

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

JOOVV. It's no secret that 2020 was a challenging year for so many people. So, in 2021, I'm focusing even more on my personal wellness routine and my overall mental and physical health. And one of the non-negotiables in my life is getting my daily dose of healthy light, which is why I’ve been using Joovv red light therapy devices for years now. And Joovv’s new Generation 3.0 devices are sleeker and lighter, with all the same power you'd come to expect. They also include some cool features like Recovery Plus mode, which can give you an extra healing boost that optimizes the recovery process. They've also got a new feature called ambient mode, which uses lower intensity light to support your sleep and circadian rhythms, and to help counteract all of the artificial blue light that keeps you up at night that might be present in your home. You can get an exclusive discount on Joovv Generation 3.0 devices at www.Joovv.com/luke.

TRU KAVA Kava is nature’s most powerful anxiety reliever that has also been shown to boost mood, mental clarity, and deep sleep by naturally restoring GABA levels in the brain over time. However, due to contamination with toxic plant parts and low-quality extraction processes, most kava products currently on the market contain little to none of these benefits. TRU KAVA products are 3rd party lab tested for quality and safety and are made using proprietary solvent-free extraction methods that capture the full traditional kava experience, packaged in tasty ready to use forms. TRU KAVA is available in both a pristine oil form called KAVAPLEX and in the brand new ELEVATE Kava Shots.
