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

– What's On My Bed:

“Biobalance” PEMF Mat: For the past 8 nights, based on research I've seen that Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF) can heal damaged mitochondria and enhance deep sleep cycles (such as this study and this study), I've been sleeping through the entire night on a “Biobalance” mat, which is like an incredibly souped-up version of the portable Flexpulse PEMF device I podcasted about here.

So far, I’ve increased my deep sleep percentages, on average, 2-3% per night, which is incredibly significant. It ain’t cheap, but for people who like to own nice things, this mat is well worth it, and it’s one of the few full body PEMF treatment devices I know of that can run for an entire nightly sleep cycle (actually, up to 12 hours). You can get it here with best customer support and worldwide delivery directly from BioBalance website.

Special Announcements:

::: Save $50 on Viome Microbiome Gut Testing :::

You've probably already heard me preach about the benefits of Viome– whether on the podcast, in my mind-blowing Facebook Live interview with Naveen Jain or maybe when I published the results of my very own Viome Gut Microbiome test. Viome applies artificial intelligence and machine learning to recommend personalized nutritional recommendations that balance the gut microbiome inside the body for the goal of better digestive health, longevity, skin quality, brain function, and any other physiological parameter correlated to the host of critters living in your gut.

So why is this stuff from Viome so new and unique? If you’ve ever had your gut or microbiome tested, you likely were tested using the old form of sequencing called “16S sequencing” While the 16s sequencing can indeed tell you about your gut bacteria, it really doesn’t hold a candle to what is called “metatranscriptome sequencing”, which is the type of sequencing Viome utilizes. Viome has dumped a ton of research & development into this new form of gut testing. Intrigued? Check out my episode with Naveen, who believes so strongly in Viome, he wants it to be the cornerstone technology for eventually ridding the world of all chronic disease. You can order your test here. Use code “FITNESS” to save!

::: Save 10% on Alms Bio Liposomal Glutathione with CoQ10 and PQQ  :::

I have often preached about the benefits of perhaps the most potent antioxidant for longevity, reducing oxidative stress, fighting auto-immune disease, caring for your skin and appearance and much, much more. The antioxidant in question? Liposomal glutathione. If you are seeking an extremely potent formulation of glutathione specifically formulated to support antioxidant of free radicals, support enhanced and appropriate cellular energy, and support mitochondrial health and biogenesis of new mitochondria – powerhouses of the cells. Save 10% with code “BEN”.

  1. Hi Ben, came across you by chance while researching liposomal glutathione. The most potent (300% more so than any other method), clinically proven & natural glutathione precursor has been developed by world renown scientist & medicinal chemist, Dr Herbert Nagasawa. As you are aware, glutathione is the bodies master antioxidant and made up of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamate & glycine. Cysteine is the rate limiting factor for our cells to manufacture glutathione. As glutathione is a fragile molecule, it is largely destroyed in the gut rendering it pretty much ineffective. Any part of the molecule that does get into the blood stream is to large to enter the cell to do its magic. Dr Nagasawa has formulated a precursor that protects the fragile cysteine molecule thru the gut by using ribose to wrap around the cysteine molecule. Once the riboceine (the invention) enters the cell, the cysteine remains in the cell to make glutathione, and the ribose enters the mitrochondria to create energy.
    It has 23 peer reviewed studies & is currently being tested in trials by many other world leading scientists & doctors in regards to their specific line of science. One being a study re atherosclosis.
    Enough from me as a layman. If you wish to learn more I’d be happy to send you further info & even an obligation free 1 month trial of the product.
    Best regards
    Mike Spadaccini
