Digital Social Hour

In this episode, Dave breaks down the real drivers behind high performance and longevity — from hormones and nervous system regulation to fear, trauma patterns, and intuition. We talk about why “health” isn’t a motivating goal for most people, how to reduce friction so better habits stick, and what altered-state practices (like breathwork and neurofeedback) can teach you about focus, creativity, and calm under pressure. If you’ve ever felt stuck in overthinking, stress loops, or old stories that keep replaying, this conversation offers a practical reframe for building more energy, clarity, and resilience — without making life more complicated.

In this raw, honest conversation, we sit down with Thomas Wilkinson from NeuroNova to unpack the hidden dangers of benzodiazepines, Adderall, and dopamine-depleting addiction cycles—and explore a radically different approach to mental health. After personal experiences with Xanax withdrawal, seizures, and years of anxiety, the conversation shifts to a non-invasive technology originally developed to help people recover from addiction without replacing one dependency with another.

Thomas explains how a specific spinal vibration frequency discovered through neuroscience research showed dramatic results in human trials, including major reductions in anxiety, improved sleep, and support during opiate withdrawal—all without drugs. The discussion expands into dopamine addiction, social media overstimulation, sleep deprivation, and why so many people feel trapped in a constant state of anxiety. This episode isn’t hype—it’s a deep look at what happens when you address the nervous system directly instead of masking symptoms.

What You’ll Learn 👇

🧠 Why benzodiazepines like Xanax can make anxiety worse long-term
💊 How traditional addiction treatments often create new dependencies
📉 What dopamine depletion really does to focus, sleep, and mental clarity
🪑 How a non-invasive chair was developed as an alternative to methadone
😴 Why deep sleep is critical for anxiety, addiction recovery, and brain health
📱 How technology and social media are fueling a dopamine addiction crisis
🔁 What “resetting” the nervous system actually means in practice

At A4M Longevity Fest, we sit down with Ulrich Dempfle from Carol Bike to break down the fastest way to improve cardio fitness — without spending hours doing endurance workouts.

If you’ve ever said “I don’t have time for cardio,” this is for you. Carol Bike is built around REHIT (Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training): a science-backed protocol where you only do two all-out 20-second sprints, 2–3x per week, and still see major improvements in VO2 max, metabolic health, and longevity.

We also compare Carol Bike vs Peloton, explain why intensity matters, how the bike auto-optimizes resistance, and why improving VO2 max may be one of the strongest predictors of long-term health.

What You’ll Learn

🚴‍♂️ Why VO2 max is one of the strongest markers tied to longevity
⏱️ How 2 x 20-second sprints can replace long cardio sessions
🧪 What REHIT is and why studies show rapid results
📉 Why doing more intervals might not mean more benefits
🧠 How Carol reduces “mental load” with automatic resistance + coaching
📊 How to track progress and test VO2 max inside the bike
🏠 Why having it at home makes consistency almost effortless

Chapters

0:00 – VO2 max gains = years of healthier life
0:33 – Carol Bike vs Peloton (biggest difference)
1:40 – What REHIT is: minimum effective dose cardio
2:10 – Why VO2 max matters more than most people realize
3:22 – The workout: 5 minutes, 2 x 20-second sprints
4:31 – Results: VO2 max up ~12% in 8 weeks
7:34 – The catch: you lose it fast if you stop
9:45 – Why the sprint stimulus is “different” than normal HIIT
11:14 – The science: mitochondria + VO2 max explained simply
20:34 – Price, 100-day trial, and return policy

In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean sits down with Declan, the GHL Wizard, for a deep, practical conversation on how AI is actually being used to scale businesses right now—not in theory, but in the real world.

Declan breaks down how AI data centers are driving costs down, why tools like HighLevel are giving local businesses a massive unfair advantage, and how AI agents are already outperforming traditional customer support, sales, and follow-up systems. They also zoom out into mindset, execution, work ethic, anxiety, dopamine culture, and why most people consume information but never take action.

In this episode, Sean sits down with Dr. Ben and Dr. Shawn Javid from Smilebody to break down the real mouth-body connection — and why “oral health” is bigger than just brushing and flossing.

They explain what biological dentistry actually means (most people have no clue), why they focus on root cause instead of symptoms, and how hidden issues like root canal infections, cavitations (NOT cavities), and toxic materials can quietly impact your energy, inflammation, sleep, skin, and more.

You’ll hear why Smilebody built a first-of-its-kind facility combining biological dentistry + functional medicine + biohacking therapies under one roof — including hyperbarics, red light, IV therapy, and advanced imaging. They also cover the right way to handle mercury fillings (and why rushing to remove them can make things worse), plus the truth about modern “white fillings” and microplastic concerns.

If you’ve been dealing with chronic symptoms you can’t solve — this conversation will change how you think about your mouth.

What you’ll learn ✅

🦷 What biological dentistry really is (and what makes it different)
🔎 How hidden infections can show up with no pain
🕳️ Why cavitations are not the same as cavities
⚠️ The truth about root canals as a long-term solution
🧪 Why materials matter: metals, BPA, microplastics, biocompatibility

🩺 How functional medicine + dentistry works better together
