    Bobby Williams May Have Found the Fountain of Youth | Uncommon Living 53

    Hollywood Stuntman Bobby Williams describes his experiences with the Stratosphere ATC hypobaric machine he invented to boost health and longevity. In Episode 53 of the Uncommon Living podcast, William's explains to Thomas Seager, PhD how hypobaric (i.e., high altitude simulation) training has improved lung capacity for him and his wife, actress Mariel Hemingway. Their conversations compares hypobaric to hyperbaric chamber and examines the physiology behind both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and induced hypoxia. Finally, the two discuss plans to collaborate at the Cold Plunge Research Institute 3rd Annual Symposium, and for equipping a new hot springs spa in Ketchum Idaho with Morozko ice baths.

    Brown's Gas Hydrogen | George Wiseman

    George Wiseman invented a machine to electrolyze water and produce hydrogen rich "Brown's gas" for inhalation via an oxygen cannula. He's maintained the practice years, and credits it for healing scars, warts, boosting his immune system, and keeping him young. In this episode of the Uncommon Living podcast, Wiseman tells Professor Thomas Seager about the benefits of hydrogen inhalation for overall health and human performance.

    The New Australian Treatment for Endometriosis | Kelsi Dodds, PhD

    Clinical trials at Adelaide University in Australia have demonstrated the efficacy of cold plunge therapy for relief of endometriosis pain. Results show that those women who cold plunged most often obtained the greatest relief. In this episode of the Uncommon Living podcast, Kelsi Dodd, PhD describes the complex and painful condition of endometriosis, distinguishes it from PCOS/PMOS, and hypotheses about the mechanisms by which cold water bathing provides pain relief.

    Photobiomodulation | UV, Green & Red Light Therapy | Episode 50

    In this episode 50 of the Uncommon Living podcast, Thomas Seager, PhD describes the science of photobiomodulation (PBM), explaining that red light therapy and infrared light therapy are becoming popular for their effects on boosting mitochondrial health. However, he also suggests that the big gains in photobiomodulation may still be yet to come.While red/NIR therapy devices typically target the cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) enzyme in the mitochondria to boost production of ATP, Seager suggests that wavelengths targeting melanin are more powerful for promoting skin health. In particular, he emphasizes the potential of green light at 532 nm to energize melanin and promote healing of skin lesions, as well as relieve headache pain anr promote relaxation.Seager also reviews the interaction between different wavelengths of light, such as how red/NIR will protect the skin from the risks of ultraviolet.Finally, Seager reveals that during cold thermogenesis, mitochondria make sunlight inside the body called biophotons, and that light will stimulate production of Vitamin D inside brown fat cells, where it can be stored until other cells in the body need it.

    What's Wrong With American Healthcare? | Thomas Seager, PhD & Dean Hall

    There's a growing awareness that something is seriously amiss with US health care. According to NIh Director Jay Bhattacharya, PhD/MD, life expectancy in the USA peaked in 2014.Why?Because for 50 years scientists have been looking for the secrets to longevity and health in the DNA, rather than in the mitochondria. In this episode of Uncommon Living, we share a lecture given at the Abilities Expo by Thomas Seager, PhD and Dean Hall. They describe how reconnecting with Nature is a reliable way to support mitochondrial health, boost the immune system, and ;resolve chronic illness. Cold water immersion therapy and forest light, in particular, were effective for Dean Hall to cure himself of chronic leukemia and lymphoma.

    Anxiety & Resilience in Entrepreneurship | Josh York

    Gym Guyz Founder Josh York describes his entrepreneurial journey, the importance of resilience, and how discipline and mental toughness over comes anxiety and drives success. York tells Professor Thomas Seager about how he changed his ice bath routine to precool his intense workouts, and what happened to his testosterone as a result. Both men agree that success in entrepreneurship requires that they "Burn the Boats," because there is no Plan B.

    BioWild Psychology Fixes What's Wrong With Talk Therapy | Dean Hall

    Dean Hall returns to the Uncommon Living podcast to share how his experiences as a cancer patient and survivor have reshaped him as a trauma therapist. This interview with Thomas Seager, PhD describes Hall's disillusionment with traditional talk therapy, and the realization that he must stay more closely connected to Nature to manage the health risks of feeling being connected to his clients. Hall's proposes a new method, called BioWild Psychology, for treating what he calls "Synthetic Living Syndrome" -- i.e., ill health resulting from a chronic exposure to florescent lights, disrupted sleep patterns, and failure to ground (earth), and disconnection from the natural environment.
