  • 184 - Episode #178: What a 100yo Japanese Smoker Taught Me About Stress? - Featuring Salim Najjar

    What if the stress you're trying to eliminate is actually what your body needs to become stronger? Despite focusing on nutrition, hormones, and exercise, I still struggled with stress, mental clarity, and feeling constantly stuck in fight-or-flight mode. That's why I was excited to sit down with Salim Najjar. Salim is a former CEO and human performance educator who specializes in heart rate variability (HRV), nervous system health, and stress resilience.   During our conversation, we explored why chronic stress may contribute to inflammation and unhealthy aging, what HRV can reveal about your body's ability to recover, and why constantly trying to eliminate stress might not be the answer. We also discussed how everyday habits like checking your phone first thing in the morning, drinking caffeine, poor sleep, and overtraining can affect your nervous system. Salim shared his perspective on unresolved emotional trauma, mental health medications, wearable health trackers, and how elite athletes like Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan developed the ability to perform under pressure.   I hope this conversation helps you rethink your relationship with stress, better understand your nervous system, and find ways to improve both your physical and mental well-being.

  • 183 - Episode #177: I'm 76 and I Replaced Showers With This Daily Habit! - Featuring Ken Guoin

    The water you drink every day might not be hydrating you the way you think it is. In this episode, I sit down with Ken Guoin, founder of Ophora Water, to challenge what we think we know about hydration, water quality, and longevity. After switching from reverse-osmosis water to Ophora, I noticed significant changes in how I felt, including improvements in my hydration, appetite, and overall well-being. Ken talks the technology behind oxygen-enriched water, why he believes conventional drinking water falls short, and the surprising ways water quality could influence our health.   In this episode, we talk about: ■ Why drinking more water doesn't always mean better hydration ■ The difference between reverse-osmosis and oxygen-enriched water ■ How hydration may influence energy, metabolism, and appetite ■ My personal experience with dehydration and irregular heart rhythms ■ The hidden chemicals in our drinking and shower water ■ Why Ken believes chlorine and plastics pose serious health risks ■ How oxygen-enriched water could support cellular health and longevity ■ Why Ken hasn't taken a conventional shower in years   Ophora Water: ■ Water Systems: https://ophorawatersystems.com ■ Official Website: https://www.ophorawater.com/ ■ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ophorawater/ Chapters: (00:00) Intro (00:54) Timeline  (06:15) Cellular Hydration and Oxygen (06:43) Metabolism, Appetite, and Weight Loss (08:20) Are You Drinking Enough Water?

  • 182 - Episode #176: How to Pray: God Already Knows What You're Hiding! - Dylan Gemelli

    I've spent a good part of my life trying to figure everything out on my own. Whenever I faced a problem, I believed I could find the solution myself. I thought I had all the answers, and for a long time, I gave myself all the credit. But through my relationship with God, I've come to realize just how wrong I was. One of the most important things I've learned is that prayer doesn't have to be complicated. You don't need to know the perfect words, follow some elaborate routine, or have an answer to every question. You just need to do is sit down, put everything else aside, and have an honest conversation with God. And perhaps even more importantly, learn to listen. That's what I wanted to share with you in this episode. Not just how to pray, but how prayer has changed the way I deal with stress, make decisions, approach difficult situations, and understand what truly matters in life.   In this episode, I talk about: ■ Why prayer is much simpler than most people think ■ The importance of listening to God instead of constantly asking for things ■ How ego can prevent us from recognizing God's guidance ■ Why unanswered prayers might actually be a blessing ■ How prayer has helped me find peace ■ Why I believe we should pray for wisdom, patience, compassion, and other virtues ■ How God can guide us through the people closest to us   I also want to make something clear. I'm far from perfect, and I still have days when I get frustrated, complain, worry, and struggle to let go of things I can't control. But that's exactly why prayer has become such an important part of my life.   I don't have everything figured out, and I no longer believe I'm supposed to.   My hope is that this episode encourages you to spend more time with God, speak honestly about what's on your heart, and learn to trust Him even when things don't go the way you planned. Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one!   Chapters: (00:00) Intro (00:51) Timeline (03:15) How to Pray (05:17) How to Listen to God (07:07) Prayer Shouldn't Come From Fear (07:40) How Ego Gets in the Way of God (08:37) Why God Doesn't Answer Every Prayer (09:29) Be Careful What You Pray For (10:21) Don't Only Pray When Things Go Wrong (11:10) Prayer, Anxiety, and Mental Health (13:21) Praying for Wisdom, Patience, and Virtue (16:15) Why We Feel Lost Without God (17:29) Being Honest With God (18:39) Finding Your Purpose Through Prayer (19:36) How God Speaks Through Other People (21:53) Prayer Is the Answer —-------------------------------------------------------------------------- TODAY'S EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY Timeline Get your FREE Mitopure Gummies Sample Here: timeline.com/gemelli —-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get KYZATREX: FDA-approved oral testosterone capsule: http://www.getkyzatrex.com/dylangemelli —-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the Apollo Neuro for $99 OFF!!

  • 181 - EPISODE #175 ROUNDTABLE SPECIAL: 20% of People Have an Organ Aging Faster Than It Should! - Featuring Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole

    Welcome to my special 175th EPISODE!  This is also my very first special roundtable interview!  I could not have had two better than Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole as my first guests!  These roundtables are a gathering of the most brilliant and impactful minds, coming together to offer deep thoughts and insights of the most discussed aspects of health, wellness and faith!  These roundtables will be continuing as special episodes each month to continue to do God's work in bringing as many of us together to make the biggest impact possible!!  ENJOY!!  For years, I thought that if I ate right, trained hard, stayed disciplined, and took care of my body, I was doing everything I needed to stay healthy. But I've learned that being healthy on the outside doesn't always mean everything is healthy on the inside. My father passed away from a heart attack at just 59 years old. And despite everything I've done to take care of myself, I recently discovered that I have elevated Lp(a) levels and plaque in my arteries. That was a wake-up call. It made me realize just how much can be happening inside our bodies without us ever knowing it. That's why this conversation with Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole was so important to me. Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole are leading voices in functional medicine, bestselling authors, and longtime advocates for looking beyond symptoms to understand the underlying factors affecting our health. Together, they've written Heal Your Cells, a book exploring how cellular health, inflammation, metabolism, and lifestyle may influence chronic disease and the aging process. We talked about how our organs can age faster than our bodies, the hidden risks of heart disease, and how stress and trauma affect our health. One of the most meaningful parts for me was discussing faith and how true health goes beyond the physical. It's about caring for our minds, bodies, and our relationship with God. And it made me wonder: What if the biggest threats to our health are the things we can't see or feel until it's too late?   In This Episode, We Talk About: ■ Cellular health, mitochondria, and chronic disease■ The blood markers that may reveal problems before symptoms appear■ Insulin resistance, inflammation, and metabolic health■ How stress, childhood trauma, and the nervous system affect the body■ The connection between faith, emotional healing, and physical health■ Gut health, exercise, and the importance of personalized nutrition■ Why looking healthy doesn't always mean being healthy   Chapters: (00:00) Intro(01:39) Healing at the Cellular Level  (04:37) Are Your Organs Aging Faster?  (06:03) Heart Disease and Family History (11:01) Blood Tests and Hidden Risks  (15:47) My Personal Heart Health Scare  (16:32) Understanding Insulin Resistance (31:28) The Vagus Nerve and Stress  (35:00) My Experience With Emotional Healing  (39:14) Trauma, Forgiveness, and Faith  (46:00) Mind, Body, and God  (1:09:02) The Gut-Brain Connection  (1:10:27) Exercise and Mitochondrial Health (1:23:39) Why Nutrition Is Personal  (1:36:34) The Five Essential Foods  (1:46:21) Protein Supplements  (1:47:29) Do We Really Need Fiber?  (1:49:35) Is the Carnivore Diet Healthy?  (1:52:52) Final Thoughts —-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get KYZATREX: FDA-approved oral testosterone capsule: http://www.getkyzatrex.com/dylangemelli —-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get your FREE Mitopure Gummies Sample Here: timeline.com/gemelli —-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Get the Apollo Neuro for $99 OFF!!

  • 180 - Episode #174: 7 Signs You’re Being Manipulated (watch out for these signs!) - Dylan Gemelli

    Over the years, I've had the privilege of learning from some incredible doctors, experts, and people from all walks of life. And through my work, my podcast, and the thousands of conversations I've had, I've started noticing something that genuinely concerns me. People don't know who to trust anymore. There's so much conflicting information out there, especially when it comes to health, nutrition, supplements, and the advice we see on social media. Everyone seems to have an answer, everyone claims to be an expert, and too many people are more interested in selling you something than actually helping you. But something I've learned over the years, including through my own mistakes, is that being knowledgeable doesn't mean having all the answers. I've had to learn to admit when I'm wrong, question my own beliefs, and understand that what works for one person might not work for another. That's why I wanted to dedicate this episode to something I believe everyone needs to understand: how to recognize someone you shouldn't trust.   In this episode, I talk about: ■ The biggest red flags to look for when deciding who to trust ■ Why some people get angry when you question their advice ■ How influencers and affiliate marketing contribute to health misinformation ■ Why you don't need every supplement or the latest health trend ■ The dangers of fear-based health advice and trying to live a perfectly healthy life ■ The importance of humility, accountability, and thinking for yourself   My goal isn't to tell you that I'm always right or that you should only listen to me. It's actually the opposite. I want you to ask more questions, challenge what you're being told, and learn to recognize the difference between people who genuinely want to help you and those who have other intentions. Enjoy the episode, God bless, and I'll see you in the next one! Chapters: (00:00) Intro (00:48) Timeline (03:42) The Biggest Problem Today (05:28) Who Can You Trust?
