New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!

– A New Unique Set Of Essential Oils I've Been Using

If you heard my interview with Dr. Nick of Essential Oil Wizardry, you know he's basically the craziest, most unique oil formulator on the planet. He recently sent me a few blends I've really been enjoying. Here's what they are:

  • InVigor: Supports memory, focus, and concentration. Massage a few drops into the palms of the hands and rub them together, cup over the nose and mouth and take 3 deep breaths. This is great first thing in the morning. Enjoy in an infrared sauna.
  • Lilac: Gentle heart opener. Supports the emotional sense-of-self. 1/4 to 1 dropper full under the tongue. Works on more of the subtle energy and emotional bodies.
  • Epimedium: Aka Horny Goat Weed, 5-10 drops under the tongue. 1/4-1/2 a dropper is plenty. Stimulates the masculine sense of self, can increase sex drive with regular use. Promotes a deeper awareness to one’s physical body. At higher doses can notice some behavioral changes including aggression. Can see side-effects of increased testosterone.
  • Salvia Divinorum: Sacred medicinal plant used by the Mazatec in Mexico. This is semi-legal and is found in nature. It’s a great meditative tool and promotes introspection. Use 1-3 droppers full under the tongue for 30 seconds. Great for re-connecting to nature.
  • Tribulus: Similar properties to Epimedium, play with 1/4 to 2 droppers full sublingually.
  • Klip Dagga: An interesting plant that has its own compounds that have cannabinoid-like properties. It is a relatively euphoric cannabis substitute that has more clarity during its euphoria. Play with 1-3 droppers full sublingually.
  • Chai Perfect: This is perfect for adding to morning smoothies or desserts if you make chocolates. Play around with it and see what you enjoy, less is more. Nick usually uses 1 drop per 8-16 oz of culinary delights.
  •  Seduction: A botanical essential oil-based perfume my wife and I use during our date nights. Just make sure the neighborhood dogs don't hump your legs when you put this stuff on. Holy hell.

Special Announcements:

::: Save 65% Off Your Subscription On One Of My Favorite Sleep-Enhancing Devices :::

NuCalm is a safe, proven neuroscience technology that quickly relaxes you without using narcotics or controlled substances.

A next-level cranial electrotherapy stimulation device, NuCalm was designed to help your brain interrupt the adrenaline and cortisol release by mimicking what naturally occurs in your brain right before you sleep. It includes an app with “music”—which is actually neuro acoustic software that delivers frequencies to your brain which take you down to theta brain wavelength.

This thing lets me get a 20-minute intense period of relaxation even when I can’t nap, and I’m now ducking away and using it nearly every day, particularly during travel and on airplanes.

Featured Product: Kion Fasting Bundle

Fasting is a simple practice that can have profound impacts on your mental, physical, and spiritual health. However, simple doesn't always mean easy. The first few hours of a fast can be difficult to get through due to hunger pangs, low energy, and brain fog.

That's why Kion has curated the Kion Fasting Bundle, which includes two powerhouse products to help you get through your fast while still reaping the benefits of fasting.*

  1. Kion Coffee: A clean source of caffeine, which has been shown to suppress hunger and improve energy levels during a fast. Kion Coffee is also rich in polyphenols that can enhance many of the benefits of fasting, including improved body composition, gut health, and autophagy.*
  2. Kion Aminos: Pure essential amino acids (EAAs) are a great way to “hack” your fast for better energy levels, better cognition, and sustained muscle mass.* They can also provide the fuel you need to get through fasted workouts. 

Upgrade your fasting practice today with the Kion Fasting Bundle; and if you haven't already, sign up for the Kion Fasting Challenge (going live January 6th)!

*The FDA hasn't evaluated these statements. Kion products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
