    Donnie Yance: Why Microdosing is More Effective Than Macrodosing
    2025/12/04
    Is microdosing more effective than macrodosing? While heavy-handed megadoses of synthetic pharmaceuticals attempt to dominate a single biochemical pathway, microdoses of synergistic botanticals can stimulate the body to normalize, balance and heal itself.Meanwhile, much of modern medicine has devolved into a game of manipulating numbers on blood tests rather than actually healing you. Because they're not so easily patented and monetized, many of the most effective, affordable and simple substances and practices in health and longevity are dismissed, ignored, or at the very least taken for granted. For instance, did you know that the simple act of prayer has been scientifically proven to not only improve mental health, but also improve the literal physical health of the heart?Deep breathing, gratitude, meditation, and prayer steady the vagus nerve and allow our bodies to remain flexible and adaptable, downregulating our nervous system from fight-or-flight into a relaxed parasympathetic state. The truth is, we don't need to wait for the next miracle pill to save us. We already know more than enough to put life-saving practices into action today. Donnie Yance is a Clinical Master Herbalist, Certified Nutritionist and Author, known internationally for his pioneering work in botanical and nutritional medicine, particularly in the field of integrative cancer. As an accomplished jazz bassist and former monk, Donnie is also known as "The Funk Monk."In this episode, you'll discover:How to eat and supplement for greater adaptive capacity, hardiness, and resilienceWhy many of the secrets to long life lie in humble livingHow Donnie earned the nickname of "The Funk Monk"How improvisation in music mirrors the intellectual and playful flexibility we need in healthAnd much more...Find Donnie Yance and his work at: DonnieYance.comMederiCenter.orgNaturaHealthProducts.comListen to Donnie’s music on Apple and SpotifyFacebook: @DonnieYanceInstagram: @medericenterYouTube: @mederifoundationLinkedin: @mederi-centerBooks by Donnie Yance: Adaptogens in Medical Herbalism: Elite Herbs and Natural Compounds for Mastering Stress, Aging, and Chronic Disease by Donald Yance , MH, CN, RH (AHG), SFOHerbal Medicine, Healing & Cancer: A Comprehensive Program for Prevention and Treatment by Donald Yance , MH, CN, RH (AHG), SFOPlease take a moment to make sure you’re subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts, and to stay up-to-date, sign up for my newsletter at AbelJames.com.You can also join Substack as a free or paid member for ad-free episodes of this show, to comment on each episode, and to hit me up in the DM’s.

  • Why Training for Resilience Could Save Your Life

    Why Training for Resilience Could Save Your Life
    2025/11/20
    As soon as you think you have it all figured out, absolutely everything can change in an instant.

    What do you do when out of nowhere, life hands you a serious injury or diagnosis?

    In this episode, I'll be sharing hard‑won insights from recovery after being sidelined in a serious high speed hit‑and‑run wreck.

    We'll explore:
    • Why it's best to train for resilience before you take the hit
    • How to turn hardships into gifts by refusing to settle for "poor me" thinking
    • Specific practices to bounce back to 110%
    • A surprising warning in the age of deepfakes and rampant AI slop
    • And much more...
    Just before the car wreck, I played a couple live music shows in Las Vegas, at Nos Vegas as well as the BSN Golf Championships during the Bitcoin Conference.

    As a special bonus, stay till the end of today's episode to hear a full set from one of the shows in Las Vegas featuring all original music, lots of improvisation and special guests.

    During the performance, people all around the world tuned in, tipped the musicians in Bitcoin and commented in real time on the livestream. It's an innovative way to support musicians and connect with each other, and I hope to see you on the next livestream. You can connect with me on NOSTR Here.

    Big thanks to Mike from Tunestr and Jim and Julie Costello of Phantom Power Music for recording, producing, livestreaming and putting together these shows.

    Dr. Ann Shippy: Fertility, Longevity and Mold Detoxification
    2025/10/09
    Have you considered how the choices you make today shape the health and destiny of your children before they’re ever born?What if the most important gift you could ever give your future child is the health and resilience you build in yourself today?As rates of chronic health conditions in children—including autism, anxiety, diabetes, obesity, and autoimmune disorders—continue to rise, it’s time to take preconception seriously. Science shows that the health of our children is determined not just by genetics, but epigenetics. Your health at the time of conception is a snapshot or time capsule that contains the genetic and epigenetic blueprint for your child for the rest of time.It’s a shocking realization, especially for men: Your lifestyle choices during preconception will forever affect the genetics and health of your children (and their children!). That means optimizing your health and fitness is not merely an exercise in vanity, but an opportunity to give your future children the best chance at health and success. After all, the biological definition of fitness is the ability to produce healthy offspring. Today, we’re exploring how the choices we make today shape not just our own health, but the health of our future children and even generations to come. I’m thrilled to be joined by Dr. Ann Shippy, a unicorn in the world of medicine—a board-certified internal medicine physician, certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, and a former IBM engineer who’s turned her passion for macro-level systems thinking and problem-solving into a mission to revolutionize how we think about health.If you care about your health, your family’s future, or just want to understand how to build true resilience in a toxic world, you’re in the right place. In this episode, you’ll discover:The impact of environmental toxins, mold, and gut health on fertility, child development, and longevityHow Dr. Shippy reversed the effects of toxic mold exposure, including ALS-type symptoms, pain, and fatigue in her own familyHow to give your future children the best chance at health and success by optimizing epigenetics at preconception And much more…Connect with Dr. Ann Shippy and pre-order her new book: Preconception Revolution by Dr. Ann Shippy, on Amazon, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, Books-A-Million or Target (releases: November 18, 2025)Website: https://annshippymd.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annshippymd/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annshippymdPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/annshippymdFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/AnnShippyMD/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/annshippymdPlease take a moment to make sure you’re subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts, and to stay up-to-date, sign up for my newsletter at AbelJames.com.You can also join Substack as a free or paid member for ad-free episodes of this show, to comment on each episode, and to hit me up in the DM’s.

  • Dr. Scott Sherr: Methylene Blue for Energy and Mitochondrial Optimization

    Dr. Scott Sherr: Methylene Blue for Energy and Mitochondrial Optimization
    2025/08/28
    You’ve probably heard the buzz around the mythical and sketchy-sounding synthetic compound known as methylene blue.

    How is it that methylene blue went from a 19th-century textile dye to a futuristic, cutting-edge mitochondrial-enhancing compound that turns your tongue blue?

    After surviving freak bouts of carbon monoxide poisoning, black mold exposure and chronic lyme disease, methylene blue earned its spot in my bag of tricks many moons ago. Should it be in yours?

    With mitochondrial dysfunction affecting a whopping 94% of adults in the U.S., I’d say it’s worth a look.

    We’re here with one of the foremost experts and thought leaders integrating intriguing compounds like methylene blue into their practice, Dr. Scott Sherr.

    While methylene blue is a remarkable tool for healing and performance optimization of the brain and body, it’s not right for everyone. Since methylene blue can interact with certain medications and supplements and we’re still learning about its effects on the microbiome, it’s essential to exercise caution and be intentional about sourcing, dosage, and frequency of use.

    Dr. Scott is here to separate the truth from the hype.

    In this episode, you’re about to discover:
    • How to improve metabolic and mitochondrial function with low-dose methylene blue
    • How combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy and high altitude training with methylene blue further enhance performance
    • How to dose methylene blue strategically
    • And much more…
