    [14:00] Processed Carbohydrates and Stress: Impact on Visceral Fat Accumulation
    Dr. O'Mara emphasizes the significant impact of consuming processed carbohydrates, especially ultra-processed ones, on the deposition of visceral fat. 
    He notes that even a short-term consumption of such foods, like a weekend indulgence in pizza, donuts, or ice cream, can lead to a noticeable accumulation of visceral fat.
    Dr. O'Mara underscores the role of stress, particularly chronic stress, in promoting visceral fat accumulation. Strategies for managing stress are crucial for effective visceral fat reduction.
    To combat the negative effects of stress on visceral fat accumulation, Dr. O'Mara recommends high-intensity physical exercise as an effective strategy. 
    [21:20] Harnessing Physiological Stressors for Health Optimization
    Dr. O'Mara discusses the concept of stress hormesis, emphasizing the importance of stressors for health optimization.
    He suggests engaging in high-intensity exercises like sprinting or weightlifting to trigger beneficial physiological responses.
    While physiological stressors can be beneficial, emotional or cognitive stressors, such as tense interpersonal encounters, may not produce the same positive effects.
    Dr. O'Mara highlights the need for primarily physiological stressors to reduce cortisol levels and promote visceral fat elimination. 
    [28:00] Alcohol, Sleep, and Visceral Fat Reduction
    Dr. O'Mara underscores the detrimental effects of alcohol consumption on visceral fat accumulation. 
    He emphasizes the importance of eliminating alcohol intake for visceral fat reduction, noting the significant improvements observed in himself and his clients upon cutting out alcohol.
    Dr. O'Mara draws attention to the gradual realization of the negative impacts of alcohol consumption through lifestyle changes.
    Dr. O'Mara highlights the importance of quality sleep in preventing visceral fat. Impaired sleep, often caused by conditions like obstructive sleep apnea or benign prostatic hypertrophy, can contribute to visceral fat deposition.
    [37:10] Unlocking Optimal Health: The Power of Health Stacking
    Rather than advocating for a single dietary or exercise approach, Dr. O'Mara emphasizes the effectiveness of multiple lifestyle strategies for optimal health.
    He encourages individuals to adopt a holistic approach by integrating various practices such as dietary modifications, stress man

    #777 Using Infared Heat Therapy to Unlock Weight Loss, Inflammation Relief, and Anti-Aging Benefits with Connie Zack

    #777 Using Infared Heat Therapy to Unlock Weight Loss, Inflammation Relief, and Anti-Aging Benefits with Connie Zack

    Today, I am blessed to have Connie Zack, the Co-Owner of Sunlighten. Sunlighten’s story began over 20 years ago when Connie and Aaron Zack watched her brother’s life transform with the help of infrared light—a decade of failing to find relief from a debilitating illness had brought him to a dark place in his health battle with chronic fatigue, mercury poisoning, and spinal injury. A dentist recommended infrared light therapy, and it changed his life. He came to life again, able to create his art and do what he loves once again. He founded Sunlight saunas to share what he had found and bring this healing light to others. 
    Inspired by his experience, the Zacks harnessed their history as pharmaceutical associates and committed everything they had to grow Sunlighten and mastering infrared light, bringing the most amount of infrared—and most health benefits—into the body so others could live their best lives too. They’ve poured their lives into helping others by innovating and leading the infrared sauna industry.
    In this episode, Connie dives into the transformative power of infrared heat therapy, particularly emphasizing its efficacy in weight loss, inflammation reduction, and pain relief. She highlights how infrared therapy, such as Sunlighten's, increases core body temperature by absorbing low resonance energy into cells, leading to caloric burn and significant reductions in waist circumference. Plus, Connie discusses how inflammation, a primary contributor to aging, can be regulated through far infrared therapy, promoting overall well-being without the side effects of medications. We explore the energy-boosting effects of infrared sauna therapy and its positive impact on cognitive function and emotional wellness. Tune in as we chat about infrared therapy's versatility and holistic benefits for enhancing overall wellness and productivity.

    [00:15] The Power of Infrared Heat Therapy for Weight Loss, Inflammation, and Pain Relief
    Infrared heat therapy, such as Sunlighten's, can aid in weight loss by increasing the body's core temperature by absorbing low resonance energy into cells. This process causes water molecules to vibrate, elevating the core temperature and converting energy into caloric burn.  Clinical studies have shown significant reductions in waist circumference with infrared therapy, offering a convenient way to burn calories while relaxing at home. Inflammation is identified as a primary contributor to aging, and far infrared therapy has been shown to regulate genes controlling inflammation. Unlike medication, infrared therapy addresses inflammation throughout the body by being absorbed into cells and working with mitochondria, offering a broad-spectrum approach to reducing inflammation without the side effects associated with medications.  Infrared heat therapy can alleviate pain and reduce the need for daily medication, providing relief while promoting overall well-being.

    #775 The Insane Health Benefits Using Shilajit and Ormus For Boosting Testosterone, Supporting Immune Health & Increased Energy with David Reid

    #775 The Insane Health Benefits Using Shilajit and Ormus For Boosting Testosterone, Supporting Immune Health & Increased Energy with David Reid

    Today, I am blessed to have here with me David Reid. David Reid, a visionary and pioneer in holistic health, is the driving force behind Manna, a revolutionary endeavor dedicated to empowering humanity to reclaim its vitality and well-being through natural means. Ten years ago, David found himself at a crossroads, grappling with a profound sense of disconnection and fatigue, both physically and spiritually. As a former practitioner in the medical field, he recognized the limitations of conventional approaches and embarked on a transformative quest to unearth ancient wisdom and merge it with modern science.
    Driven by a relentless pursuit of purpose and inner peace, David boldly decided to leave behind his established career and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Little did he know, this decision would lead him to unlock profound secrets buried within the annals of history. Guided by an unwavering commitment to holistic healing, David's vision crystallized into Manna, an all-encompassing supplement crafted from nature's bounty.
    In this episode, we dive into David's journey of self-discovery and exploration of sacred knowledge; it led him to encounter two powerful substances, Shilajit and Ormus, revered for their health benefits. Through his quest, he crafted Manna, combining these elements to enhance vitality and well-being. Shilajit, hailed for its fertility and vitality-boosting properties, acts as a vital nutrient source, while Manna's transformative effects extend to improved libido and collagen production. Manna's potency stems from its role in optimizing bodily fluids, supported by clinical studies highlighting its impact on mitochondrial ATP production. Tune in as David emphasizes the importance of sourcing quality Shilajit, which varies based on altitude and fulvic acid content. Ultimately, Manna emerges as a holistic elixir, offering multifaceted benefits for cognitive, sexual, and overall health.

    [01:00] David's Odyssey of Self-Discovery and Sacred Knowledge
    David embarked on a journey driven by a profound desire to uncover fundamental truths about existence, asking deep questions about the purpose of life, human origins, and personal identity.
    His quest led him to explore various sacred sites worldwide, where he encountered Indigenous peoples who shared knowledge about sacred substances, micronutrients, and ancient practices integral to their cultures and traditions.
    Through his travels and interactions, David discovered two substances, Shilajit and Ormus, highly revered for their profound effects on health, resilience, and consciousness. Shilajit, sourced from the Himalayas, and Ormus, derived from the sea, stood out to him as particularly significant.
    David's journey eventually led him to explore the best versions and practices associated with these substances. He sought to refine their use and enhance their benefits, culminating in creating Manna, a product that combines Shilajit and Ormus for the first time, born not out of a commercial endeavor but from a deeply personal quest for self-discovery and improvement.
