  • Seeds of Caution
    Aug 23 2024

    In this episode, we delve into the intriguing world of plant biology, where seeds are armed with powerful defence proteins to protect the next generation. These natural protectors are crucial for the survival of plants, but could they be a hidden threat to us?

    Emerging research suggests that regular consumption of these proteins might have unintended consequences for our health over time. Are we unknowingly exposing ourselves to risks through the seeds we eat?

    Join us as we unravel the complex science behind plant defence proteins, their potential impact on human health, and what you should consider for your diet.

  • Understanding Our Innate Tribal Nature
    Aug 16 2024

    In #episode45 of Alternative Experience we revisit our recent discussion with Jenny Powers PhD regarding the way our hunter gatherer ancestors lived their lives. Since the show I have had an epiphany which I believe is very important for us all to consider.

    Watching the scenes across the UK last week really did show the darker side of our tribal nature, whether the scenes were sensationalised by the media as some have claimed (thats dark) or the riots really happened as they were portrayed (even darker) it will no doubt be used as an example of how our tribal nature means we are always destined for conflict but I want to tell you that is not true.

    There is another way for us to lean into that very same tribalism for the benefit of everyone. Something that Jenny said during the Podcast, about how humans had existed for millions of years in a co-operative fashion really got me thinking and I went down a deep rabbit hole researching the ‘known’ behaviours of our ancestors and its given me hope that we are not as doomed as we may have been led to believe.

    I hope you enjoy this episode, its part archaeological fact part thought exercise and I hope it gets you all thinking too.

    Please like, comment and share this episode out to your networks, it really helps me to defeat the evil algorithm.

    Aug 10 2024

    In Episode 44, we dive into a groundbreaking study from University College London that explores the effects of CBD on brain health.

    Discover how researchers found that CBD increases blood flow to key regions of the brain, including the hippocampus, which is vital for memory and learning.

    We discuss what these findings could mean for mental health, cognitive function, and the potential therapeutic uses of CBD.

    What does this mean for people suffering with diseases of the mind and memory such as PTSD, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease which are increasing exponentially around the world.

    Tune in to learn how this study might change the way we think about CBD and its role in brain health.

  • Alternative Experience Meets........
    Aug 2 2024

    In #Episode43 of the podcast I sit down for an amazing conversation with the great and powerful Jenny Powers PhD to discuss her recently published book, On the Origin of Being.

    I simply cannot recommend the book highly enough, its packed full of insightful information about the way in which our hunter gatherer ancestors used to thrive in life, while at the same time emphasising just how badly us moderns humans have lost our way. Jenny’s writing style is captivating and, personally I could not put it down.

    If you are interested in human optimisation and you would like to understand just how easy it is to achieve, this really is the book, and podcast for you. It almost reads as an episode list of the podcast so to say that we were in alignment would be an understatement, yet our differing backgrounds really did allow us to discuss each area from our own perspective leading to a nice, natural and organic conversation.

    In fact, it was so organic, that I did not ask any of the questions that I prepared and we both forgot to discuss the wonderful co Author Luke Comer.

    So who is Jenny Powers PhD?

    Jenny is a mum, a writer, a scientist, and an athlete from Colorado. Her PhD is in Immunology, but she left academia to be a mum and to pursue a writing career. Up to that point, having only ever written scientific articles, the opportunity to research and write "On the Origin of Being" with Luke Comer felt like kismet. It allowed her scientific training and passion for writing to come together in so many ways.

    She learned so much about her own health and wellness on her journey of writing this book and continues to learn more every day with the connections she makes. She also writes middle grade novels and short stories. She lives in the Denver, Colorado area with her husband, two kids, and four-legged, furry friends.

    All of Jenny’s useful links are below including the Amazon link for the book, order your copy today either on Kindle or in physical form. It really is a captivating read as well as an amazing resource that will teach you valuable information about your natural innate biology.

    I hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed recording it.
