Welcome to my Weekly Roundup!
In one convenient post, you're about to discover the most important things I've noticed this week, including the latest news from the fronts of fitness, nutrition, health, wellness, biohacking and anti-aging research, the top photos, videos and stories from this week, upcoming events and speaking appearances, giveaways, specials and a host of other things you may have missed.
New Discoveries Of The Week: Cool New Things I'm Trying, Books I'm Reading, And More!
-Pau D’ Arco Bark Tea. After a fascinating discussion with a man who I consider to be one of the brightest minds in medicine: Dr. Joseph Mercola, I discovered that a compound called “beta-lapachone” can massively increase levels of NAD, and that this pricey chemical can actually be quite inexpensively obtained via a pau d’ arco tree bark tea from the Peruvian jungles. “Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide” (NAD) has numerous anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and anti-cancer benefits. Purchase Pau D' Arco bark here and follow the recipe in my recent article, 12 Unique Ideas For Your Holiday Gift Cards And Cash.
-Smudge Stick Kit. Smudging is a common, contemporary term for “The Sacred Smoke Bowl Blessing”, a traditional Native American ceremony that uses the smoke from burning herbs for purification. For the best effects, a good smudge stick kit or incense bundle should contain a variety of ancient incense used in ceremonial settings, such as White Sage, Palo Santo, Mini Sage, Desert or Sweetgrass. Here’s an example of one of my favorite smudge kits, which can be used for burning in a sauna, during or before meditation or journaling, or anytime you want a very enlightening, full body calming and soothing effect that enhances any spiritual activity.
–Onnit Warrior Bars are real food bars that I have relied on for sustained energy during long hikes, hunts or – God forbid – the occasional cross-Atlantic flight. The name is pretty bad ass: the “Tanka Warrior Bar” and is based on a recipe that fueled Lakota Sioux warriors for centuries. It’s packed with turkey, buffalo, and cranberries, and is now available in a new flavor — coffee hatch chile. Best part (aside from eating what a Sioux warrior ate)? Get a deep discount on Warrior Bars until 12/31 as part of Onnit's end of the year blowout.
