EFR 812: Mastering Respectful Disagreements to Go From Conflict to Collaboration with Justin Jones-Fosu
00:00:00
00:00:00
Justin Jones-Fosu is here to explore the art of respectfully disagreeing and maintaining our humanity amidst ideological differences. Justin emphasizes the importance of valuing and dignifying individuals regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds. Prepare to discover strategies for fostering healthy collaboration over unhealthy competition and the significance of heart-driven work in difficult conversations. Justin shares his five pillars of respectful disagreement, offering practical examples and exercises to apply in various settings, making this a must-listen for anyone seeking to navigate our divided world with grace and respect.
We also tackle the concept of "disrespectful agreement," where individuals agree with others to avoid conflict, often leading to internal resentment and missed opportunities for genuine connection. Through real-life examples, such as a wife agreeing to preserve her husband's self-esteem or an employee aiming for a promotion, we highlight the importance of recognizing and addressing these tendencies. Practical advice is also provided on how to ensure every interaction leaves all parties feeling valued, and a personal story about managing contentious conversations underscores the importance of empathy and mutual respect in communication.
Additionally, we delve into the transformative power of collaboration over competition, sharing an engaging exercise that highlights the benefits of supportive environments. Reflecting on a late-night ride along with police officers, we discuss the multifaceted role they play and the importance of cultivating respectful relationships despite challenges. Finally, we explore the power of respectful interactions in planting seeds of change and the value of being present in the moment. Listen in as we bring you insights from Justin's latest book, "I Respectfully Disagree: How to Have Difficult Conversations in a Divided World," and learn how to move "Ever Forward" with purpose and understanding.

EFR 808: Why Saturated Fats Are Actually Good For You and the Discovery of C15 with Dr. Eric Venn-Watson
00:00:00
00:00:00
Join us as we explore the groundbreaking benefits of saturated fats, specifically focusing on odd-chain saturated fatty acids like C15. Our guest, military physician and co-founder of Seraphina Therapeutics, Eric Venn-Watson, sheds light on how C15 is essential for cellular health, longevity, and chronic disease prevention. Eric shares his expertise on why decades of avoiding saturated fats might have been misguided and how C15, the first essential fatty acid discovered in over 90 years, can strengthen cell membranes and improve health metrics such as energy, mood, and even sex drive.
In this episode, you'll hear about the fascinating discovery that linked dolphin health studies to human metabolic diseases, revealing the crucial role of C15 in healthy aging. Eric explains how changes in agricultural practices and dietary preferences have led to widespread C15 deficiencies in human diets, potentially contributing to various health issues. We also explore the relationship between the endocannabinoid system and C15, highlighting its potential as a superior alternative to omega-3s in activating longevity pathways and promoting healthier aging.
Listen in as we discuss the immediate and long-term benefits of C15 supplementation, from improved sleep and reduced snacking to thicker hair and shinier skin. Eric introduces the new Cell Strength Test, which measures C15 levels and evaluates cell strength, offering insights into aging and cellular health. We also cover the science behind influencing aging, comparing C15 to rapamycin, and the broader implications of these findings for disease prevention and healthy aging. Finally, we touch on the complexities of biohacking and the importance of monitoring essential nutrients for overall well-being.

EFR 458: Improving Metabolic Health and Potential Indicators Your Blood Sugar Levels Are a Problem
What is the purpose of life? Does science have any claim to this question? For generations, many have concluded that evolution implies there is no overarching purpose to our existence. Life has no fundamental meaning. We are merely the accumulation of tens of thousands of intricate molecular accidents. Some scientists take this logic one step further: “The fact of evolution is … inherently atheistic… It goes against the notion that there is a God.”
But is this true?
By integrating emerging principles from a variety of scientific disciplines—ranging from evolutionary biology to psychology—Yale Professor Samuel Wilkinson provides a framework of evolution that implies not only that there is an overarching purpose to our existence, but what this purpose is.
Closely related to purpose is meaning. What is the meaning of life? Based on the scientific data, it would seem that one such meaning is to develop deep and abiding relationships. At least that’s what most people report are the most meaningful aspects of their lives. And our relationships that are most meaningful are those with our families, those with whom we share our genes. This is a function of our evolution. It is how we were created.
Embark on a profound exploration of the human condition as Sam and I unravel the complexities of our existence. We offer a rare glimpse into the nuanced interplay between evolution, human nature, and theology. You'll be captivated by our discussion on the dualities we carry within us—selfishness versus altruism, cruelty versus compassion—and how these are reflective of an evolutionary dance, tested through the enigma of free will.

EFR 802: Master Stress - How to Fortify Your Physiological and Psychological Immune System with Jeff Krasno
00:00:00
00:00:00
When stress knocks at your door, how do you answer? Jeff Krasno, the visionary behind "Good Stress" and CEO of Commune Media, joins me to unravel the intricacies of our body's response to stress and how, counterintuitively, it can be a powerful ally in our quest for wellness. We dissect the symbiotic relationship between cortisol—the misunderstood hormone—and eustress, revealing how the right kind of stressors can strengthen our resilience and propel us towards growth.
As we navigate the maze of modern life, chronic stress has become a silent epidemic, taking a toll on nearly half of Americans. Our discussion takes a deep dive into the hormonal whirlwind triggered by stress, examining its effects on blood glucose, the immune system, and gut health. Yet, beyond these physical manifestations, we explore the delicate dance between environmental triggers and our personal narratives that contribute to stress. Unearthing findings from Commune's vast surveys, Jeff provides a panoramic view of the stress landscape, helping us chart a course through the stormy waters of anxiety and tension.
The journey doesn't end with recognition; it's about transformation. Through personal anecdotes, such as my own experience with fasting, resistance training, and the power of mindset, we uncover practical strategies for not just managing stress, but mastering it. From the unexpected benefits of squats to embracing the heat of a sauna blanket, we discuss how these tools not only temper our stress response but rewire our brains for enduring health. So, join us as we turn the tables on stress, learning to harness it as a force for profound personal change and wellness.
