The Life Stylist

I’m joined once again by the brilliant David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs, for a deep dive into the metabolic health crisis and the surprising science behind real, sustainable wellness. David walks us through the metabolic cascade that begins every time we eat, and why this natural process breaks down with age, inactivity, and modern diets. We also get into the critical role of muscle mass in regulating glucose, how fasting and autophagy rejuvenate mitochondria, and why walking may be the most underrated tool in the fight against obesity. Whether you’re battling blood sugar issues or just looking for a cleaner, more empowered approach to wellness, this one’s a must-listen. And for the next week, The Life Stylist listeners can get an exclusive 25% off all Mara Labs products when you go to mara-labs.com/luke [https://mara-labs.com/luke] and use code LUKE at checkout. After that, code LUKE will still get you 15% off. DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.

What happens when a culture forgets how to initiate its youth? In the absence of rites of passage, adolescents are left to create their own—often through drugs, risk, and rebellion. I know because I was one of them. In this bonus episode from Wax On Wax Off, I reflect on how addiction became my initiation in a society that offered me no meaningful map for becoming a man. I share the full arc of my journey so far: from early trauma and substance abuse, to the structure of recovery communities, to becoming a “bio-healer” to repair my mind and body from the damage done, to sharing my passion for discovering the most effective tools for healing with the larger world. This conversation’s especially poignant because my precocious host Solomon, at 17 years old himself, is standing at the threshold of adulthood. His sincerity and presence provided the perfect forum to unpack my childhood trauma and my long and circuitous path to recovery. It also gave me the chance to drop some hard-won wisdom on avoiding the pitfalls of life that nearly destroyed me.

I’m thrilled to welcome back two dear friends and pioneers in the world of consciousness technology—Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegman, co-founders of Focused Life-Force Energy. These guys have been on the show several times before, and in this in-person conversation, we go deeper than ever into their groundbreaking work broadcasting high-consciousness fields across the globe. Jeffrey shares how their connection through consciousness coaching evolved into a powerful collaboration, turning a small service project into a global movement touching lives in over 85 countries. You’ll hear about the mechanics of FLFE—from how their system identifies and broadcasts to specific addresses or objects to the deep spiritual and scientific principles it’s built upon. We also cover their ongoing research with major institutions, including clinical studies on EMF mitigation and resilience, and how their technology is being validated by cutting-edge statistical analysis. Whether you’re a seasoned biohacker or just beginning your journey into the unseen realms of energy and consciousness, this episode is packed with mind-expanding insights. I’ve used FLFE for years, and I can tell you—it’s not just theoretical. It’s transformational. Visit lukestorey.com/flfe [https://lukestorey.com/flfe] to start your free 15-day trial.

We’re back with another listener AMA episode, and this one goes deep. As always, it’s just me and my amazing wife, Alyson Charles Storey, sitting down to answer your most heartfelt, curious, and courageous questions. We touch on everything from consciousness expansion and unconditional love to near-death experiences and the spirit of addiction. I open up about my journey with drugs and alcohol and what it took to finally surrender—and how I view the energetics behind substances and the way they can open (or erode) our fields. Whether you’re on a healing journey, wrestling with an old pattern, or just love hearing two people process the real stuff in real time, this episode is packed with gems. Thank you to everyone who submitted a question—we see you, we love you, and we’re honored to walk this path together.

In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Tricia Eastman, a traditional Mestiza medicine practitioner, Bwiti initiate, and author of Seeding Consciousness. With over a decade of experience working with plant medicines like ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, Tricia brings rare insight into the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern psychedelic healing. We dive deep into the significance of indigenous-led biocultural preservation, how plant medicine can reconnect us with our spiritual roots, and what it really means to walk a path of initiation. Tricia shares her powerful story of healing from an eating disorder, and how her own encounters with sacred medicines led her to a life of global service—from facilitating retreats with special operations veterans to founding the nonprofit Ancestral Heart. Whether you're curious about iboga, exploring sacred sexuality, or seeking deeper purpose, Tricia brings the kind of grounded wisdom and integrity this space desperately needs.
