Biohacking the Mile High: Optimizing Life in the Rockies | The Prism Intro with Lightstone & Grace

Welcome to the premiere series of The Prism: Biohacking the Mile High. Hosted by Lightstone and co hosted by Grace, this series explores the cutting edge of human optimization right here in the Boulder and Denver metro areas. We are moving beyond the "analysis paralysis" of the wellness industry to bring you real stories, ethical local businesses, and actionable protocols. Whether you are interested in the science of peptides, the power of infrared light, or why "community is the ultimate hack," this series provides a technical and spiritual roadmap to living your best life at altitude. Main Topics Covered * The Local Focus: Why we are vetting wellness clinics and recovery studios specifically in Colorado to help you find the best services in your backyard. * The Peptides Debate: Lightstone and Grace share divergent views on growth hormone secretagogues and the importance of using compounding pharmacies over the "Wild West" of the internet. * Overcoming Needle Phobia: Exploring needle free delivery systems like iontophoresis patches for NAD plus and B vitamins. * Grace’s Survival Story: How a severe battle with COVID led Grace away from the failures of Western medicine and into a thriving life built on biohacking. * Relational Biohacking: How to optimize your neurobiology for better partnerships, focusing on oxytocin, eye contact, and emotional regulation. * The Social Hack: Why isolating in a home gym is a biological "anti hack" and how saunas and cold plunges build essential human community. The "Mile High" Philosophy * Bio Individuality: Men and women respond differently to stressors and supplements. We explore how to tailor protocols to your specific nervous system. * Ethical Vetting: We separate the "money grabs" from the practitioners who actually care about your physical and financial safety. * Foundational Habits First: You cannot market the sun, the earth, or meditation. We discuss why these foundations must be in place before adding expensive enhancements. Upcoming Guests to Watch For * Colin Chartier: Elite performance coach and breathwork specialist. * Horizon: A wellness social club redefining community in the Denver area. * Recovery One: Advanced recovery modalities in Cherry Creek and Lone Tree. * Ion Layer: Local experts in patch technology and cellular health.

Healing SIBO, Evening Protocols, & Men's Work with Psychotherapist David Radish | The Stone Protocol

In this episode of The Stone Protocol, Light sits down with psychotherapist, husband, and father David Radish. From the moment David enters the studio, his grounded, intentional energy sets the tone for a deeply calming and insightful conversation. We dive into the gritty reality of healing severe gut issues like SIBO, the psychological toll of extreme elimination diets, and why David believes a successful morning actually starts the night before. David also opens up about his journey through contemplative psychotherapy, the mechanics and benefits of Ketamine-assisted therapy, and the vital importance of breaking out of male isolation. If you are looking for actionable protocols to regulate your nervous system, design a more intentional life, and build authentic community, this episode is for you. Main Topics Covered * The Reality of Healing SIBO: Navigating the physical and psychological toll of extreme elimination diets, and how to keep food frustration from leaking into your relationships. * The Evening Wind-Down Protocol: Flipping the "morning routine" on its head. David shares his step-by-step evening protocol, including digital sunsets, red lighting, Shakti mats, and relational connection. * Ontological Design & Intentional Style: How the physical items we wear and the spaces we curate shape our internal state and project our identity to the world. * Contemplative & Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy: What it actually means to be a contemplative therapist, the necessity of facing your own shadows, and how Ketamine can act as a catalyst for deep, lasting neurological shifts. * Breaking Male Isolation: Why "community is the oldest technology" and actionable advice for young men experiencing a "failure to launch" in today's digital-first world. Key Protocols to Try * The Frustration Protocol: When frustration arises (whether over diet or daily stress), use contemplative practices to watch the thought fade. Sit with the feeling rather than projecting it onto your partner. * The 60-Minute Sleep Prep: One hour before bed, put the phone away, switch to warm/red lighting, and spend 20 minutes on an acupressure mat to naturally down-regulate the nervous system. * The Movement Cure: If you are feeling isolated or depressed, get out of your environment. Lifting weights, playing pickup soccer, or simply working from a coffee shop creates a brain-body connection that breaks the dopamine-depleted cycle of screen time.

The Heart Centering Protocol: A Guided Meditation for Coherence and Joy

In this episode of The Stone Protocol, host Light Stone shares the foundational practice that begins every one of his coaching calls: the Heart Centering Meditation. This updated protocol is designed to bridge the gap between the heart and the head, aligning your biological glandular system with your energetic centers. Whether you are navigating a difficult conversation or simply seeking deeper grounding, this meditation serves as a technical and spiritual roadmap to high-vibrational living. Main Topics Covered - Heart Coherence: Learning to visualize the heart as "larger on the inside," pulling energy from beyond linear space and time. - The Head-Heart Bridge: Connecting the neurons of the heart to the prefrontal cortex, pineal, and pituitary glands. - Somatic Energy Mapping: Moving white light through the throat (thyroid), the enteric nervous system (gut), and the sacrum. - The Frequency Filter: A specific technique for drawing energy through the crown while filtering for only the "qualitative essence" of the heart. - The Auric Shield: How to transition from a meditative state to real-world application by creating an energetic "egg" of protection. The Meditation Protocol: Step-by-Step - The TARDIS Heart: Breathe into your heart. Visualize it as a "white hole" or a spacious container that is larger on the inside than the outside. - The Glandular Ascent: Draw that light up the spine into the head. Activate the pineal and pituitary glands (the third eye), connecting your feelings to your thoughts. - The Throat & Expression: Move the energy into the throat/thyroid, creating spaciousness in how you speak your truth. - The Enteric Brain (Gut): Bring the light down into the stomach and intestines—the center of serotonin production and "gut instinct." - Rooting & Grounding: Push the energy through the sacrum down to the root (perineum/coccyx) to feel deeply anchored into the Earth. - The Golden Pour: Draw energy down from the crown, but filter it so it matches the heart’s frequency. Feel it pour over you like warm water, filling every limb and glute. - Cellular Pulsing: Inhale from every cell of your body at once. Exhale to expand that light into an "auric shield" around you. Key Takeaways - Reaction vs. Response: By filling yourself with light before a conflict, your reaction to being offended or annoyed is consistently better. - Metaphysics vs. Practicality: It matters less where the energy comes from and more that you show up to your life filled with greater love and joy. - Joy is Contagious: Just as misery spreads, so does high-octane love. Choosing this protocol is a gift to everyone you interact with.

Ego Death, High Performance, & The Science of Breath with Colin Chartier | The Stone Protocol

What happens when your entire identity is built on being the best—and that world suddenly collapses? In this episode of The Stone Protocol, host Light Stone sits down with Colin Chartier, a world-class professional triathlete turned performance coach and biohacking expert. Following a serendipitous meeting in a sauna, the two dive deep into the "hedonic treadmill" of elite sports, the psychological trap of never feeling "good enough," and the profound transformation that occurs when performance-based identity is stripped away. Colin shares his raw journey from being the 11th-ranked triathlete in the world to finding a deeper sense of sovereignty through breathwork and somatic intelligence. Whether you are an athlete, an entrepreneur, or a seeker, this episode provides a technical and spiritual roadmap for reclaiming your life through the power of the breath. Main Topics Covered - The Hedonic Treadmill: Why achieving massive goals (like an Iron Man) often leads to a dopamine crash rather than lasting fulfillment. - Identity as Self-Sabotage: How internal narratives like "I am not a runner" can physically limit your performance and lead to burnout. - The Physics of Healing: Shifting the needle on intergenerational trauma—can healing yourself actually affect seven generations forward and back? - The Bohr Effect & CO2 Tolerance: The technical science behind why "over-breathing" starves your brain of oxygen and how to fix it. - Ground App: How Colin integrated AI and biometric data (HRV, Sleep, Bolt Scores) to create a personalized nervous system regulation tool. - Live Practice: A guided walkthrough of the 8-4-8-4 Savitri Pranayama for immediate grounding and stability. The Stone Protocol: 8-4-8-4 Savitri Pranayama Follow along with Colin starting at the end of the episode: 1. Muka Bhastrika: A powerful clearing breath to remove stagnant air. 2.
