<p dir="ltr">"When I graduated college and moved into my apartment, I started feeling unwell. I was high on adrenaline and combating it, but I knew something was wrong. It wasn't until I moved out two years later that I discovered black mold behind my bed and that my oven had been leaking carbon monoxide!" - Melanie Avalon</p> <p dir="ltr">Melanie Avalon returns to the show after nearly a decade, and we dive deep into all things biohacking, longevity, and wellness. This Renaissance woman—actress, author, podcaster, and entrepreneur—shares her passionate perspective on topics from wine consumption to protein intake that challenge conventional wisdom. I was fascinated by her strategic approach to finding healthier wines at restaurants and her commitment to one-meal-a-day eating while maintaining muscle mass. We explore the EMF risks from our devices, debate protein's role in longevity, and discuss the importance of red light therapy and sauna sessions for detoxification. Melanie's journey into biohacking began with health challenges that led her to become the ultimate self-experimenter, now sharing her discoveries through multiple podcasts and wellness product lines.</p> <p dir="ltr">What you'll learn:</p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Why European organic wines might be better choices and how to find them at restaurants</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The science behind Melanie's one-meal-a-day approach and how she consumes 300g of protein in a single meal</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How EMFs affect cellular calcium channels and simple ways to reduce your exposure</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The importance of protein for maintaining muscle mass as you age, despite conflicting longevity research</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">Benefits of red light therapy for circadian rhythm regulation and pain management</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">How sauna sessions can support detoxification and overall wellness</p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">The concerning lack of regulation in beauty products and brands that prioritize safety</p> </li> </ul> <p dir="ltr">Love the Podcast?
