New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
– Movie That Scared Me
Root Cause: Root Cause is one man's extraordinary, personal journey of self-discovery set to send ripples through the dental profession and expose perhaps one of the world's greatest medical industry cover-ups. The video below pretty much tells you what you need to know and will hopefully inspire you to sit down with your family or loved ones and watch. My wife has root canals and has already set up an appointment with our local holistic dentist to have them removed. This is a huge issue, and while I don't watch many documentaries, I think this one is well worth your time. It even features many past podcast guests of mine, most notably Dr. David Minkoff.

– Supplement I'm Mixing with Alcohol
Bitters #9: I've mentioned recently on podcasts that my “go-to” cocktail at most restaurants involves simply ordering a shot of gin (very clean burning alcohol) on the rocks with a selection of house bitters. I drink this cocktail because it burns cleans, is bitter enough to sip, and perhaps most importantly, helps to digest any food consumed after it while also enhancing the insulin response to your meal, thereby then lowering your blood sugar. Problem is, sometimes I don't know how clean, old, or high-quality the bitters at the cocktail bar is, so now I simply travel with my own. I simply put about 5-6 squirts of Quicksilver Scientific's “Bitters No. 9” on the rocks with vodka or gin, and it works perfectly. For added effect, throw in a squeeze of lemon or a pinch of salt. Bitters No. 9 is a blend of nine bitter herbs and essential oils, all known to help activate bitter receptors and to be able to support bile flow and healthy digestion. Bon appetit.

My friend and three-time podcast guest of mine, Joe DiStefano, pulls out all the stops to make Runga the “Cadillac” of wellness retreats, during which we spend the 4 glorious days together indulging in all of my favorite ways to upgrade your body and brain: Kundalini yoga, breathwork, cold immersion, personalized fitness instruction, deep tissue therapy, movement coaching, 5 star homemade organic meals, and much more!
Only FOURTEEN slots are available for each of these events and every year they fill up fast. Registration for the only two RUNGA Immersion events of the entire year – in Napa Valley this September and October – has now officially opened.
