At the peak of his acting career, David found himself dissatisfied and unable to access the emotional depths he longed for — both on screen and off.

    Trauma, Meditation & the Science of Recovery | Kyle Kingsbury's High-Performance Protocol

    There's no mental or emotional stressor that won't eventually show up somewhere in the body. That's the thread running through this entire conversation. Kyle Kingsbury joins Adam to get into what happens to grief that never gets processed — and why no amount of optimization can route around it. Along the way: the ayahuasca vision that rebuilt Kyle's marriage, a Shakti experience in a room of 7,000 people that dropped him to the floor, why his morning meditation practice came apart, and the training and recovery stacks he actually runs now — kettlebells, blood flow restriction, nasal-only breathing, and sauna. Kyle also breaks down The Kingdom Within, the community he's built around all of it, and gives a first look at Ballers Youth Nutrition — the youth supplement company he and Adam are launching together.

    In this raw, wide-ranging conversation, Sean Clayton — founder of Miracle Academy and Adam, host of the Brainsupreme Podcast — traces Sean's journey from a childhood marked by sexual abuse and a "custodian of the Blacks" family legacy in Dallas, through federal prison, to becoming a teacher of manifestation, quantum consciousness, and esoteric cosmology. In this episode: The origin story — Growing up in a high-achieving Black Dallas family entangled in generational patterns of racial hierarchy and internalized superiority, and how childhood sexual abuse from age 9–14 set Sean on a trajectory of people-pleasing and overachievement (a 1590 SAT score, Division I track at University of Houston).The fall — How trying to clean up a $16 million embezzlement scheme by a trusted family friend led to a 46-month federal sentence, a suicide attempt with a gun that mysteriously wouldn't fire, and a jail cell awakening.Finding Dr. Joe Dispenza — Sean's transformation from skeptic to protégé, a public "breakthrough" call-out in front of 2,000 people, and a $1 million manifestation that hooked him on the work — followed by his reckoning with guru culture and the difference between a teacher who helps you find truth versus one who fills the space with themselves.Psychedelics as a mirror — Ayahuasca, psilocybin, bufo, and iboga experiences that took him from cerebral disconnection into feeling his body and reconnecting with people for the first time.Gnosticism, the demiurge, and Metatron's Cube — A deep dive into Sean's cosmology: the "jealous god" of the Old Testament versus the Sophia, sacred geometry, the number 14, and why he believes the Book of Enoch holds the architecture for humanity's ascension.CERN and the coming singularity — Sean's theory on the Large Hadron Collider, TeV energy, the Mandela Effect, and why he believes humanity is four years away from a reality where "we think a thing and it happens."Inversion in the modern world — From Roundup Ready's recent Supreme Court immunity ruling to the victim triangle of hero/villain/victim, and why Sean sees Jesus as a coach, not a savior.Daily practices — Sean's seven-minute "heart opener" meditation performed six times a day at 3-6-9 gates, his personal oath/covenant, supplement stack, and approach to fasting and functional movement.Miracle Academy — What Sean is building now: a 49-day rebirth challenge, the "Feel and Grow Rich" course, and real testimonies of manifested miracles from members.Connect with Sean: Miracle Academy (pay-what-you-want membership) · Rabbit Hole Media, Austin · Marketing/social media coaching https://www.themiracleacademy.com/ https://myosin.io/ Warning: This episode includes candid discussion of childhood sexual abuse, incarceration, and suicide.

    Carnivore Diet, Gut Health & Autoimmunity: What Changed Everything

    Join Adam on this episode of The Brainsupreme Podcast where we explore the journey of transforming health through the carnivore diet, unraveling microbiome complexities, and understanding autoimmune healing in this candid conversation with carnivore expert Phil Escott. Discover insights into optimal meat sourcing, the role of organ meats, and the impact of plant toxins on health. A carnivore since 2015 and drummer Phil Escott got chronically ill as a vegetarian, and his body revolted with psoriatic arthritis and other autoimmune and metabolic conditions in 2010, leaving him unable to move without severe pain, let alone drum or exercise, and he had to throw out all his existing “expertise” and start from scratch. Phil’s eventual combination of a carnivore diet with EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and a range of other health enhancing practices reversed the “incurable” diseases that he suffered from. His book “Arthritis, The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me” gained a foreword by Dr. Jack Kruse, became an Amazon Kindle bestseller and is now available in print and audiobook. Phil talks from personal experience about contemporary lifestyle and diet choices, disconnects from our ancestral heritage, emotional balancing, trauma release and the simple but often misunderstood nature of spiritual awakening. He now consults with clients worldwide helping them to reverse their metabolic and autoimmune issues. In this episode: Phil’s personal health journey from vegetarian to carnivoreThe effects of oxalates and plant toxins on the bodyThe importance of ancestral diets and real-world evidenceHow gut microbiome influences food tolerance and health outcomesStrategies for autoimmune and neurological condition recoveryThe role of organ meats, dairy, and fats in a carnivore regimenAthletes thriving on high-fat carnivore approachesInsights into fasting, food quality, and environmental toxinsPractical tips for transitioning into a carnivore lifestyleConnect with Phil: For Phil’s private one-to-one consults and 30-video online course, “Autoimmunity, The Subtraction Method” (50% off with the discount code “BRAINSUPREME”) and links to Phil’s YouTube channel and other social media… https://philescott.com To join Phil’s Substack for free and to get three free e-books, regular group carnivore/autoimmunity Zoom Q&A calls and Phil’s Red Pill Sangha podcast… https://philescott.substack.com To book for the most exclusive, luxurious carnivore retreat of the year in Spain in November 2026 and hang out with the stars of the carnivore world for a week… Only 30 rooms, and they are selling fast, so hurry! https://carnivorespain.com To book for the UK Ancestral Health Festival in August 2026 – amazing speakers, plus live music, camping, glamping, firewalking and loads more… https://ancestralhealthfestival.com
