Are you a mitochondriac? 

If you don't know what that means, no worries.

You will be after this episode.

Today's guest, Dr. Jack Kruse — neurosurgeon, mito-hacker, and author of Epi-Paleo Rx: The Prescription for Disease Reversal and Optimal Health — joins me on today's episode as we delve deep into the science of light, water, and magnetism.

Today's episode is long and dense.

And the show notes... are even longer and perhaps more dense.

Jack and I talk water quality, electromagnetism, and why light — or better yet — human photosynthesis — may be more important than food.

But I think my favorite part of this episode is when I hit Dr. Kruse with a not-so-brief round of rapid-fire questions hidden near the end. So be sure to stick around.

Full disclosure: I forgot to plug in my fancy-pants podcaster mic and the sound quality isn't what it should be. But sue me. What was I going to do? Tell Jack to start over? I don't think so.

But in today's episode you'll learn: 

  • Why the time of year and the light you eat under may make food toxic,
  • How WiFi effects carbohydrate addiction,
  • The three essential pieces of equipment Jack recommends everyone buy, and...
  • Much, much more.
