Find your model health!

In this conversation, I sit down again with Jules Vasquez (Brain Body by Jules) to explore how our everyday habits especially what we read, watch, and do before bed - shape our brain health, stress levels, and overall well-being. We talk about why reading physical books (not scrolling or eBooks) can act as a true mental reset - almost like a mini vacation from daily stress - and how this simple habit may support focus, memory, and nervous system regulation.
We also dive into the importance of sleep and dreaming, and why your dream state plays a key role in mental health, emotional processing, and clearing out the brain. And yes… we discuss how horror movies and intense content may impact your nervous system, especially if you’re already dealing with high stress or poor sleep.
✨ In this episode, we cover:
Why reading books supports brain health and reduces stress
Books vs. screens as a form of escape and recovery
The role of sleep and dreaming in mental clarity and repair
How your nighttime habits influence your brain and hormones
The potential impact of horror movies on stress and sleep

If you’re looking for simple, practical ways to support your brain in a high-stimulation world, this episode will give you a new perspective on what you consume, both mentally and physically.

In this second conversation with independent researcher and author Jeff T. Bowles, we explore his controversial and thought-provoking theory about The Winter Gene and the idea that humans may be biologically programmed to enter a form of “hibernation mode.”
Jeff suggests that ancient survival pathways - designed to help humans survive winter, famine, and limited sunlight - may still exist in modern biology. According to this theory, many modern health conditions could be linked to these dormant survival programs being unintentionally activated.
This wide-ranging conversation explores evolutionary biology, metabolism, vitamins, and some very unconventional ideas about disease and seasonal physiology.
Topics discussed include:
• What The Winter Gene theory is
• Why Jeff believes humans may be stuck in a form of hibernation mode
• The concept of “Caveman Diseases” and “Cavewoman Diseases”
• The idea of biological “antifreeze programs” in human metabolism
• The history of the 1920s supplement boom
• The role of Vitamin D in calcium metabolism and calcification
• Why nutrients like Magnesium and Vitamin K2 may act as cofactors for vitamin D
• Debates surrounding blood testing and modern nutrition science
• Jeff’s unusual perspectives on seasonal biology, including discussions around mania, extreme survival behaviors, and historical references to cannibalism
• Controversial ideas about cancer and winter biology

This was a fascinating and sometimes surprising conversation that challenges many commonly held ideas about health and disease.
Whether you agree with Jeff’s theories or not, discussions like this encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and deeper exploration into human metabolism and evolutionary biology.

Methylene blue is gaining attention in functional and integrative medicine for its potential effects on mitochondria, brain health, metabolism, and even hormone balance. But what exactly is methylene blue, and how is it being used today?
In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to explore the science, history, and modern clinical applications of methylene blue. We discuss how this unique compound has been used in medicine for over a century and why it is now being studied for neurological health, mitochondrial function, metabolic conditions, and more.
We also explore how methylene blue may support women during perimenopause, including symptoms like brain fog, inflammation, sleep disturbances, and cognitive fatigue. In addition, we discuss its potential effects on thyroid function, mitochondrial energy production, and chronic infections such as Epstein–Barr virus.
If you’ve been hearing about methylene blue in the biohacking or functional medicine world, this episode provides a balanced overview of the potential benefits, mechanisms, and safety considerations.

In this episode we discuss:
• What methylene blue is and how it works
• The history of methylene blue in medicine
• Mitochondrial and neurological benefits
• Brain fog, inflammation, and insomnia during perimenopause
• Metabolic syndrome and cellular energy
• Antimicrobial effects including malaria, viruses, and Epstein–Barr virus
• Using methylene blue for sore throat and immune support
• Pairing methylene blue with therapies like red light therapy
• Thyroid support and potential effects on T4 to T3 conversion
• Mental health and psychotherapy applications
• Dosing, timing, and delivery methods such as troches
• Contraindications and medication interactions
• Possible side effects and safety considerations
