    The Cannabis Scientist: Endocannabinoids, Microdosing and Why Prohibition Failed with Dr. Amanda Reiman

    What does the science actually say about cannabis? Dr. Amanda Reiman, a public health researcher who has studied cannabis since 2002, joins Ryan Alford to cut through the stigma, from the endocannabinoid system to why most people use cannabis for everyday wellness, not to get high. Amanda explains the idea of a “minimum effective dose,” and how FK Plus, where she serves on the Scientific Advisory Committee, combines low-dose cannabinoids with herbs and functional mushrooms for specific effects like energy, focus and sleep. She also breaks down why she believes prohibition backfires and how personal stories move lawmakers more than research. She also explains the difference between functional and psychedelic mushrooms, and why research into plant medicine has lagged for decades. Topics Covered: • The endocannabinoid system • Microdosing and effect-based products • Cannabis, botanicals and functional mushrooms • Prohibition and cannabis policy • Psychedelic mushroom research • Plant medicine and stigma Links & Resources: • Personal Plants: https://www.mypersonalplants.com/ • FK Plus: https://fkplus.com/ • Personal Plants on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/personalplants/ Connect with Vibe Science & Ryan Alford: • Vibe Science: https://vibescience.com/ • Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vibe.science/ • YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Vibe.Science • Ryan Alford: https://www.ryanisright.com/ • Ryan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanalford/ Content on this show is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    Coherent Water Explained: Brainwaves, ATP, NAD and the Science Behind Analemma with Mario Brainovic

    Is all water really the same? Mario Brainovic, CEO and co-founder of Analemma Water, tells Ryan Alford why he believes it isn’t. He explains how coherent water technology is designed to bring water molecules out of a “chaotic” state and into harmony. Mario shares the research his team has done over 18 years with more than 50 scientists, including a double-blind brainwave study with identical twins and placebo-controlled studies measuring ATP, NAD and heart rate variability. He also explains why he believes water picks up the frequencies of its environment, and why he thinks filtering alone doesn’t solve it. He also shares the story behind the company, from selling his natural pharmaceutical business to Walgreens to bringing this technology into homes, and his simple advice on hydration: drink high-quality water and listen to your body. Topics Covered: Coherent vs. regular water Water, frequency and the environment Brainwave, ATP and NAD studies Heart rate variability and whole-house water systems Hydration, longevity and listening to your body Links & Resources: Analemma Water: https://www.analemma-water.com/ Analemma on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/analemma_water/ Analemma on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@analemmawater1346 Connect with Vibe Science & Ryan Alford: Vibe Science: https://vibescience.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vibe.science/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Vibe.Science Ryan Alford: https://www.ryanisright.com/ Ryan on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ryanalford/ Content on this show is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    Stem Cells Explained: Zombie Cells, Immune Health and the Future of Longevity with Dr. Rafael Gonzalez

    Stem cells are everywhere in the wellness world, but what do they actually do? Dr. Rafael Gonzalez, Chief Science Officer at ReStem and ReHealth, joins Ryan Alford to explain regenerative medicine in plain English. He explains why the immune system sits at the center of healing. Dr. Gonzalez explains why stem cells from your own body may be too old to help, how immune-regulating cells could calm autoimmune disease, and why senescent "zombie cells" can make healthy young cells age. He also talks openly about how little of the research in mice translates to people, and why he's still confident people will live longer, healthier lives. He also shares the free habits he gives his own 85-year-old mother, including morning sunlight, breathing exercises and grounding, as simple ways to feel better every day.

    The Male Health Problem Nobody Talks About with Dr. Jordan Barber

    Why do millions of people live with chronic pain when real solutions exist? Pain specialist and acupuncturist Dr. Jordan Barber sits down with Ryan Alford and Chris Hansen to unpack a system that leans on pills and surgery while effective care goes overlooked. Dr. Barber explains why cash-pay care can fix pain in a handful of sessions, and why we'll spend $10K on Disney World but not on getting out of pain. He also shares free habits like catching the morning sunrise that can change how the body perceives pain, and when to push back on your doctor. He then goes into his specialty, pelvic floor dry needling. He covers why roughly 17% of men deal with pelvic floor dysfunction, how lifting and cycling play a role, and why releasing that tension can improve sexual experience.

    Rewire Negative Thought Patterns: Angela Jean on Nervous System Regulation and Self-Healing

    Angela Jean’s work began with a deeply personal question: How do people escape the destructive thought patterns that keep them trapped? After losing her father and younger sister to suicide, she began exploring mindset training, embodied practices, and tools for interrupting emotional spirals. On Vibe Science, Angela joins Ryan Alford and Chris Hansen to explain why she believes people need practical ways to regulate themselves instead of depending entirely on someone else to feel better. They discuss rhythmic affirmations, nervous system safety, energy management, accountability, and the small daily decisions that continually shape a person’s identity. Angela also shares how pain can become useful feedback, why the unknown contains the goals people want most, and how simple movement can help someone return to baseline after a stressful interaction. The episode challenges listeners to stop treating healing as a destination and begin intentionally training the person they want to become. TOPICS COVERED Angela Jean’s path from grief to mindset work Suicide, trauma, and recurring thought patterns The connection between rhythm and perceived safety Why traditional affirmations do not always work Creating affirmations without internal conflict Interrupting rumination and negative mental loops Moving through anger, anxiety, and emotional stress Taking responsibility for personal healing Managing interactions with emotionally draining people Why familiar patterns can feel safer than change Transforming pain into purpose Training a new identity through daily decisions CONTENT NOTE This episode discusses suicide, grief, and emotional trauma.

    The Peptide Boom: Josh Felber on GLP-1 Muscle Loss, Recovery and Longevity

    Entrepreneur and BioLongevity Labs co-founder Josh Felber joins Ryan Alford and Chris Hansen for a wide-ranging conversation about peptides, GLP-1 medications, recovery, and health optimization. Josh explains why weight loss is only part of the GLP-1 conversation and why protecting lean muscle requires greater attention to nutrition and resistance training. The discussion explores emerging research involving SLU-PP-332, BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, bioregulators, and NAD+ therapy. Ryan and Chris also ask Josh which daily practices still produce meaningful results when expensive supplements and experimental compounds are removed from the equation. Listeners will hear perspectives on the opportunities, limitations, and unanswered questions surrounding the growing peptide and longevity industries.
