Quokka

Rottnest Island, just off Western Australia's coast, is home to a small wallaby known for its permanent-looking smile – so much so it's earned the nickname "world's happiest animal." What looks like a grin is actually just the structure of their jaw, adapted for munching tough vegetation, whether or not they’re experiencing joy. They’re nocturnal and herbivores who live alone or in small groups. They're a unique branch of the wallaby family tree.​
Quokka populations have collapsed on the mainland thanks to invasive species – feral cats, foxes, and pigs that hunt them. Most surviving quokkas now live on offshore islands where predators can't reach them, which may be the only reason they haven't fully blinked out. The species is listed as vulnerable, and without those island refuges, they'd likely be extinct. Learn more about their ecology and conservation status or dive into their full natural history on Britannica.​

The black sandy beaches on La Palma are just spectacular. This photo was taken on Playa de Nogales. It took me about 15 minutes walking on a cliff before I could reach it, but it was most definitely worth it. The small beach surround by sky high cliffs, the wild waves.. It just made me feel really small. But it also felt special to be able to be there and take it all in.

The Dirt Cure

Scoop up a handful of healthy soil and you're holding more living creatures than there are people on Earth. A single teaspoon can outnumber the whole human population in bacteria and fungi alone. We've spent about a century trying to get away from “dirt”… scrubbing, sanitizing, and paving over it. Sadly, some of our health may have gone away with it. The same living soil that grows good food has a more direct relationship to our health than most people realize.​
Why became obsessed with clean
The “hygiene hypothesis” started with a simple observation: As households in wealthy countries got cleaner… allergies, asthma, and autoimmune trouble climbed right alongside. Children who grow up on farms, around animals and gardens and a wider mess of microbes, tend to have fewer of those conditions. Recent research even traced a good chunk of that protection to specific barnyard bacteria. This isn't to suggest that all germs are good for us, but a young immune system needs early, varied exposure to learn what counts as a threat, and raising it in a too-clean bubble leaves it easier to overreact to pollen, peanuts, and even its own tissue.​

Dangerous Habits Secretly Raising Your Cortisol​

Cortisol is supposed to spike when you're in danger — not while you're watching TV or sipping your afternoon latte. But new research suggests that some of the most ordinary habits in your daily life could be keeping your body locked in a low-grade stress response for hours at a time. Over weeks and months, that chronic elevation has been linked to serious health consequences that many people never connect back to their routines. This article breaks down the specific behaviors most likely to be secretly raising your cortisol — and why they're so easy to miss.

Hey there,

Imagine finishing a grueling sprint or a heavy set of squats. Your chest is pounding, and you are gasping for air. Most of us focus entirely on that intense effort, wearing our maximum heart rate like a badge of honor.

But what happens in the exact sixty seconds after you stop?

That single minute of rest might reveal more about your biological age, cardiovascular health, and overall lifespan than the workout itself.

Welcome to the science of Heart Rate Recovery (HRR).

The Engine and the Brakes


To understand why this metric matters, think of your heart like a high-performance sports car engine.

When you exercise, your sympathetic nervous system - your body's "fight or flight" accelerator - revs the engine. Your heart rate spikes to pump freshly oxygenated blood to your screaming muscles. Almost anyone can press the gas pedal and rev their engine to its absolute limit.

But a truly healthy, optimized engine doesn't just accelerate well. It cools down rapidly and returns to a smooth idle the moment you take your foot off the gas.

In the human body, those physiological "brakes" are controlled by the parasympathetic nervous system, which is heavily regulated by the vagus nerve. When you stop exercising, your vagus nerve signals your heart to chill out and slow down. The speed at which your heart rate drops is a direct measure of your vagal tone and autonomic nervous system flexibility.

If your heart rate stays dangerously high long after you stop moving, your internal brakes are failing.

The Biological Breakthrough


For years, longevity enthusiasts have obsessed over VO2 max and resting heart rate. But Heart Rate Recovery is quietly emerging as the ultimate dark horse metric for healthspan.

According to decades of human clinical data, how quickly your heart rate drops after intense exercise is a powerful predictor of all-cause mortality.

In extensive reviews of cardiovascular health, clinical researchers clearly highlight that an impaired, slow recovery time is strongly associated with sudden cardiac death, heart failure, and systemic inflammation.

The underlying math is alarmingly simple. If your nervous system cannot efficiently switch from "stress mode" back to "recovery mode," you are constantly bathing your cells in low-grade physiological stress. Over time, this chronic autonomic imbalance accelerates biological aging and wears down your blood vessels.

Could This Work for You? (The Reality Check)


Unlike many flashy, experimental longevity interventions, Heart Rate Recovery is not based on isolated mouse studies or theoretical petri dish models. This metric is grounded in robust, long-term human trials and standard clinical stress tests.

However, it is crucial to understand that there are no "magic pills" to artificially fix a poor recovery score. You cannot simply supplement your way to a faster HRR.

It requires deliberate, consistent physical training to rebuild your nervous system's elasticity. The good news? Your autonomic nervous system is highly adaptable. With the right protocols, you can train your physiological brakes to become razor-sharp.

What You Can Do Today


Improving your Heart Rate Recovery is entirely within your control. Here is exactly how you can measure your baseline and build a more resilient cardiovascular system starting this week.

1. Calculate Your Baseline Score


Before you try to improve, you need to know exactly where you stand. You can test your HRR safely at the end of your next cardio session.
  • Push the Pace: Exercise at a vigorous intensity for a few minutes until your heart rate is elevated (ideally around 70-80% of your maximum capacity).
  • Stop and Record: The very moment you stop working, record your exact heart rate.
  • Rest Completely: Sit down or stand perfectly still for exactly 60 seconds. Do not walk around or pace.
  • Record Again: Check your heart rate exactly one minute later.
  • The Math: Subtract your 1-minute resting heart rate from your peak heart rate.
  • The Goal: A drop of fewer than 12 beats per minute (bpm) is considered abnormal and a potential clinical warning sign. A drop of 15-20 bpm is good. Elite athletes frequently see an incredible drop of 30 to 50 bpm in that first minute alone.

2. Build Your Aerobic Engine (Zone 2)


You cannot hack your way out of a poor cardiovascular base.
  • Dedicate 150 to 200 minutes a week to Zone 2 cardio (steady-state exercise where you can just barely hold a conversation).
  • This low-intensity work increases the size and stroke efficiency of your heart's left ventricle.
  • A stronger heart pumps more blood per beat, meaning it does not have to work nearly as hard during recovery.

3. Add High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)


Once your aerobic base is established, you need to actively stress your nervous system to teach it how to bounce back.
  • Incorporate one or two HIIT sessions into your routine per week.
  • Try the classic 4x4 protocol: 4 minutes of very hard effort, followed by 3 minutes of active recovery, repeated 4 times total.
  • These intervals force your body to repeatedly practice the transition between sympathetic stress and parasympathetic relaxation.

4. Down-Regulate Post-Workout


Don't just jump in your car and rush back to a stressful workday the second your workout ends.
  • Spend two to three minutes practicing deep, slow nasal breathing immediately after your training session.
  • Try "box breathing" (inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds).
  • Conscious breathwork acts as a manual override for your nervous system, actively stimulating the vagus nerve to kickstart the parasympathetic recovery process.
Ultimately, training your heart to power down quickly isn't just about recovering for your next workout - it's about building a physiological engine resilient enough to last a lifetime.​
Yours in good health,​

Ever sense that something is quietly getting in the way of your relationships, your confidence or your ability to feel at ease?
It can be hard to name exactly what it is - or where to begin.
Often what's missing isn't more information.
It's the ability to practically address your three core emotional needs:
Safety, boundaries, and love.
Not just as concepts, but as lived, embodied experiences.
That's why I want to invite you to The Awakening Program - a live, online, immersive weekend experience led by my dear friend Dr Alex Howard.
He’s the bestselling author of, It's Not Your Fault: Why Childhood Trauma Shapes You and How to Break Free, published in 9 languages.
This event takes you beneath the surface of your patterns and gives you a practical, deeply human framework for understanding why you feel the way you do, and what it actually takes to change.
mail

Over three experiential days, Alex guides you through the three core emotional needs that sit at the heart of how we feel about ourselves and how we relate to others:
Day 1 - Safety: Why feeling safe in yourself is the foundation for everything else, how to recognise the defensive patterns you developed long ago, and how to begin relating to your own experience with more kindness and less harshness
Day 2 - Boundaries and the Inner Critic: What a healthy boundary really is, why guilt so often follows saying no, and how to establish a boundary with the inner critic that has quietly been running the show
Day 3 - Love and Self-Worth: The difference between innate self-worth and earned self-respect, what self-love looks like as a daily practice, and how to gather your insights and define your most important next steps
→ Find out more and reserve your spot
This is a weekend that tends to stay with people long after they leave the room.
Wishing you abundant health,​

PROPOSED RULE

Close the Loophole That Lets Frankenfoods Escape Safety Testing​

The Food & Drug Administration has proposed a rule that would require food companies to give them notice when they intend to avoid safety testing a new ingredient by moving it through a loophole the FDA created known as “Generally Recognized as Safe” (GRAS).

Every year about 75 new ingredients never eaten before end up in our food through the GRAS loophole. These ingredients, made with petrochemicals, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, lab-grown cells, or modified microbes, are never safety tested as required by the 1958 Food Additives Amendment.

The proposed rule is a huge disappointment. The hope was that the FDA would close the GRAS loophole, not just make its use more transparent.

Really closing the loophole would mean the FDA has to sign off on a new ingredient, under the safety review the 1958 Food Additives Amendment requires, before it reaches your plate, not just receive a notice that a company plans to sell it. It would mean an independent safety review. And it would mean the safety data is made public, so people can find out what's actually in their food.

TAKE ACTION BEFORE DECEMBER 9: Tell the FDA to Close the Loophole That Lets Frankenfoods Escape Safety Testing!

Ask Netflix To Release The Sludge War Documentary​

OCA staff has viewed the stunning new documentary by Galassia Grassetto, The Sludge War. The film exposes how sewage sludge affects every one of us. We unknowingly bring it into our own gardens, where it is sold to us as organic compost. Our food is grown on land where it has been spread, and it is applied to our schools, parks and athletic fields without our knowledge.

You can watch the trailer here.

The film is currently on a 20-state tour across the country in partnership with local theaters and community spaces, bringing the film directly to affected communities.

The goal of the film is to raise massive public awareness and finally expose a practice that has been intentionally hidden from the public for decades. We believe Netflix can bring The Sludge War to millions of viewers and help make that possible.

We are asking you to click the link below and suggest The Sludge War Documentary to Netflix. In the title field, write The Sludge War Documentary. You do not need to be a subscriber. Netflix allows anyone to suggest titles.

Toxic sludge dumping is a global crisis. Imagine the impact this film could have if Netflix made it available to the 325 million Netflix subscribers in 190 countries. It only takes a few seconds, and your request could make a huge difference.

Please ask Netflix to air The Sludge War Documentary.

THE LIGHT DOCTOR

Why ‘Junk Light’ From Led Bulbs Could Make You Unwell – And How To Reduce the Health Risks​

Alison de Souza, The Straits Times:

“The wrong lighting can be as bad for you as junk food, raising the risk of obesity, heart disease and certain cancers.

That is the stark warning from former Harvard professor Martin Moore-Ede, a pioneer in the field of circadian biology – the study of the biological ‘clocks’ inside the cells of almost all living things, which follow approximately 24-hour cycles, in keeping with the sun.

Most artificial lighting today, whether from light bulbs or screens, delivers the wrong wavelengths to our brains and bodies, and often at the wrong time, he explains. The crux of the problem is that ‘lighting today is so different from the natural light in which the human race evolved’, the 80-year-old English scientist and lighting consultant tells The Straits Times in a phone interview from Boston, Massachusetts.”

Until about a century ago, we were mostly outside and exposed to daylight, which is a full spectrum that contains ultraviolet, all the colors of the rainbow and, importantly, infrared.

SUPPORT OCA & RI

Help Us Fight Corporate Control of Our Food System​

Public Health is under attack by out-of-control scientists, corporations, media giants, and politicians. Your right to safe, healthy food, a stable climate, and a clean environment is under attack. Chemical and pesticide manufacturers, industrial factory farm corporations, and junk food manufacturers are piling up profits at your expense.

With billions of dollars to spend on influencing politicians, corporations skirt and rewrite the laws that were supposed to protect you, using regulatory loopholes to slip untested ingredients into the marketplace.

The FDA just proposed a rule that could have closed this loophole for good. But instead of requiring real independent testing and FDA approval before these ingredients reach your plate, it only requires companies to notify the FDA after they’ve already decided to use them. We cannot accept that.

We educate consumers so you know what’s actually in your food and can demand better. We take corporations to court when they lie and force them to be accountable. And we fight Congress and state legislatures to close loopholes, like GRAS, and vote out the politicians who sold you out.

This fight takes resources and know how, and it takes people who refuse to accept the burgeoning corporate control of our food system. People who know that real change comes from supporting local farmers and growing the organic regenerative food system.

Hi Jimi,

Episode 1 of Overlooked Disease Solutions is now live.

And it begins with a story that completely changed the career of renowned cardiologist Dr. Thomas Levy.

For more than 20 years, Dr. Levy practiced conventional medicine.

Dr. Levy "managed" cardiovascular problems like high blood pressure with the usual list of toxic drugs.

Then one experience made him stop and question everything he thought he knew about disease.

That moment led him on a decades-long search for the true causes of chronic illness. A journey that has helped thousands of people better understand why disease develops and what they can do to support their health naturally.

Scroll down to see what you'll discover today in these presentations, or start watching here.

The Undeniable Truth​
  • Most doctors never question the system they were trained in — Dr. Levy did, and what he discovered will make you rethink everything about medicine

  • Many people can experience remarkable healing quickly — this presentation explains how that can happen for you

Where Disease Begins​
  • What if every disease — no matter how different they appear — really got created from the same core problem misunderstood by most doctors

  • Dr. Levy has spent decades mapping the process threatening your health right now — and most people have never heard this explanation

Warning About Pathogens​
  • Many infections that are likely to shorten your life have no pain or obvious symptoms. Dr. Levy says Western medicine has known about this for decades — yet fails to sufficiently warn the public

  • What you’ll discover in this presentation is a clear understanding of how to deal with pathogens and avoid disease symptoms
Episode 1 is only available until 9:00 AM Eastern tomorrow morning.

If you or someone you love is dealing with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, chronic fatigue, or unexplained health problems, this episode lays the foundation for everything that follows.

Don't miss these presentation because once you understand "The Undeniable Truth," you'll never look at chronic disease the same way again.

Watch Episode 1 before it expires.​

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, chances are you’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what you can do to support your healing.



Nutrition. Supplements. Exercise. Sleep. Treatments. Therapies. Doctors. Practitioners.



And all of those things matter.



But after more than 20 years immersed in the world of health and healing, there’s another question I believe deserves far more attention:



What’s happening beneath the surface?



What stress are you carrying?



What fears are you living with?



What patterns has your nervous system been repeating for years?



What beliefs about yourself and your life have you carried so long that you may not even realize they’re there?



The fact is, our emotional health, nervous system, relationships, sense of purpose, inner peace, and physical well-being are not completely separate from one another.



And sometimes we can spend so much energy asking, “What else do I need to DO?” that we never stop to ask:



“What might I need to understand, release, change, or awaken within myself so my body can do what it was designed to do - heal and thrive?”



That’s what I’m going to share in a new webinar I’m hosting:



What’s REALLY Standing Between You and the Life You Want?



We’ll look at some of the hidden patterns that can influence not only how we navigate our health, but our relationships, purpose, abundance, happiness, and the way we experience life itself.



If you’ve been on a healing journey and feel there may be another piece you haven’t fully explored yet, join me.

There's a pharmacy in your kitchen right now.

Garlic sitting in the bottom drawer. Ginger going soft in the fridge. Turmeric at the back of the spice rack, bought for one curry and never touched again.

We use them for flavour. Then we go looking for our health somewhere else entirely — in a bottle, in a clinic, in a supplement stack that costs more per month than the groceries do.

I learned how backwards that is watching my own dad get well. The food wasn't the support act. It was the treatment.

But knowing "food is medicine" and knowing which food, for what, and how to actually cook it on a Tuesday night are two very different things. That gap is where most of us get stuck.

Which brings me to why I'm writing.

A friend of mine, Nick Polizzi, has just made a series that closes that gap. You'd have seen him in our Transcendence series. Nick's spent years documenting how traditional cultures use plants and food to heal — he's not a theory guy, he's the one who gets on the plane, sits with the herbalist, and films what actually works.



It's called Healing Kitchen: Let Food Be Thy Medicine. Nine episodes on the world's most medicinal foods — where they come from, what they do in the body, and how to get them onto your plate this week.



Watch the trailer here →



Across the nine episodes, you'll discover:

  • Plant-based dishes built for specific conditions and body systems
  • Kitchen remedies from herbalists, holistic doctors, conscious farmers and wild-food foragers
  • Simple recipes you can cook the first week, no hard-to-find ingredients

Nick asked if he could share it with our community. We said yes, of course.

It's free, it starts September 1, and it's only up for a limited window before it comes down.



Yes, reserve my free spot →



Enjoy. I'll be watching it too.

This week brought news that would have been unthinkable just two years ago.​

mail
President Trump has delivered the largest drop in prescription drug prices in 63 years, driven by the administration's Most Favored Nation pricing policy. Under that policy, major drugmakers covering roughly 86% of the branded drug market have agreed to bring U.S. prices in line with the lowest prices paid by comparable developed nations. Prescription drug prices are down more than 3% over the past year and have fallen over 6% in just the last six months.
Under MAHA, health care is finally being built around patients instead of profits, and it is happening at record speed.​
At this week's MAHAÂŽ Media Hub, a leading group of officials, physicians, and candidates joined us to break down this win and other ways to help you and your family live healthier lives.​
Zach Lahn, MAHA Action-endorsed Republican gubernatorial candidate for Iowa, laid out his vision for farm-state leadership, including a goal of sourcing 80% of school food from within Iowa, which currently imports about 95% of its food. He proposed ending tax incentives for data centers and repurposing them to help family farms.​
Dr. Mehmet Oz, CMS Administrator, celebrated the historic drop in drug prices. He noted that one in three pharmacy visits for a brand prescription ends with the patient unable to afford the medication. He showed how Most Favored Nation pricing is tackling the health care affordability crisis at its core, and pointed to a projected $600 billion in family savings over the next 10 years.
Calley Means, senior HHS advisor to Secretary Kennedy, said the GRAS reform will stop corporate capture before new ingredients reach the food supply, calling it the most significant food regulation in 30 years. He said industry influence has no place within food policy, and pointed to food dyes present in 60% of children's food as a target for new FDA review.​

LAB-GROWN EGGS JUST GOT THE GREEN LIGHT​

https://diycancertherapeutics.com/


Federal approval already handed out.

Already sitting on shelves at Target, Walmart, and in restaurants — and almost no one was told.​


Here’s the part they really don’t want you connecting…
These aren’t regular eggs. They’re precision-fermented egg proteins — animal-free ovalbumin created by engineering a fungus (Trichoderma reesei) to pump out a molecule that is chemically identical to the protein in a real chicken egg. No hen. No nest.
Just a stainless-steel tank, a genetically modified microbe, and a production line that can scale faster than any farm ever could.
The FDA issued a “No Questions” GRAS letter, which means the companies can now quietly fold this stuff into baked goods, sauces, mayo, protein products, and anything else that used to rely on real eggs.

Most people will never see a label that makes it obvious.
They sold it as progress. Cleaner. More sustainable. Better for the planet.

What they didn’t put on the front of the package is the long list of unanswered questions about long-term human consumption of novel proteins produced this way, the complete lack of multi-generational safety data, and the fact that the same biotech playbook has already been used for other “foods of the future” that somehow always benefit the same handful of investors and foundations.
Bill Gates has been pouring money into this exact category for years. The same people who spent the last decade telling you what you should eat are now rewriting the food supply itself — and the average parent has no idea their kid’s next sandwich may contain proteins that never existed in nature until a lab decided they should.

They change the definition of food one quiet approval at a time.
First the meat.
Then the milk proteins.
Now the eggs.

Every time the public starts asking hard questions about cancer risks, cellular immortality, or what happens when you feed an entire generation a protein that was never part of the human diet, the response is the same: “Trust the science. It’s identical. Stop being emotional.” But when the product is already in the grocery store before the conversation even starts, emotion is the only rational response left.

Who really benefits from rewriting the food supply this fast while the risks stay buried?

What’s YOUR take on this?

Health Benefits Of Practicing Yoga​

Yoga has been around for thousands of years, but its full range of benefits goes far beyond what most people assume. Whether you're dealing with stress, poor sleep, low energy, or just want to feel stronger and more grounded, yoga might have more to offer than you'd expect. This article breaks down the science-backed reasons why so many people are turning — or returning — to yoga, and what could actually change for you if you committed to a regular practice.

Visual Colon Testing

Dr. David Brownstein, M.D., writes:


Visual screening of the colon and rectum can be done with a colonoscopy, the procedure that is considered the gold standard in testing because it allows an abnormal polyp or lesion to be visualized.

But a colonoscopy is more than just a diagnostic exam. It can also provide a therapeutic effect because once the abnormality of the colon or rectum is visualized, a physician may attempt to remove it through the scope.

Special: Do You Have a Sinking Feeling in Your Gut?

For example, precancerous polyps can often be removed with a colonoscope. Studies have clearly shown that identifying colon cancer at an early stage — such as a small polyp — is beneficial if the polyp is removed.

And if colon cancer is detected at an early stage — that is, before it has spread outside of the colon — removal of the diseased part of the colon can lead to a full recovery.

Hi Jimi,

What if heart disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, and dozens of other chronic illnesses aren't actually separate diseases?

That's exactly where Dr. Thomas Levy begins in Episode 1 of Overlooked Disease Solutions.

His explanation will challenge everything you've ever been told about how chronic disease develops, and why so many conventional treatments fail to help.

Throughout today's episode, you'll discover:
  • Why Dr. Levy believes chronic disease doesn't simply happen with age.
  • How hidden infections, toxins, and oxidative stress may quietly damage the body for years before symptoms ever appear.
  • Why understanding these overlooked root causes may be one of the most important steps you can take to better protect your long-term health.
This isn't just another discussion about treating disease.

It's about understanding why disease develops in the first place.

Once you grasp these foundational concepts, every episode that follows will make even more sense.

Don't miss the opportunity to watch the episode that lays the foundation for the entire program.

Watch Episode 1 before it expires at 9:00 AM Eastern.
To Your Health,​

Dear Jimi,

Stefan here.

Or a weak heart...

Whatever that is, you don’t want to miss our next episode!

This episode is called:

"Inflammation, Heart Disease & Chronic Fatigue: Recognize the Signs of Compromised Health to Reverse the Damage"


Join a live screening of Episode #4 here NOW!
Here’s what you will learn when you watch this episode:
  • Can you bulletproof your body against a heart attack? Discover why more than 90% of heart diseases are preventable and how anyone can tap into this little-known secret
  • Why 2/3 of Americans suffer from high chronic inflammation and how it activates most chronic diseases
  • Can inflammation inside your body be the #1 reason for a weak heart?
  • The 5 major inflammation triggers we do every day without even knowing it
  • Discover the link between obesity and inflammation and what does this mean for your overall health and immunity

How do they get them into shells? If they're just selling them liquid in milk carton type packaging, it will be easy to shun them. I can't find the info online.
