E079 - I Found the Protocol to FIX 99% of Health Conditions (naturally) | Dr. Josh Axe
Modern medicine tells us chronic conditions require lifelong medications, but today's guest challenges this belief. Dr. Josh Axe reveals how he's spent twenty years proving that most "irreversible" conditions can actually be reversed through natural methods—inspired by watching his mother beat cancer without conventional treatments. We explore why sugar's impact varies dramatically depending on its source, how emotions physically manifest as disease in specific organs, and why Japanese elders maintain health without endless testing. From explaining practical approaches to optimising nutrition to sharing his remarkable recovery from a paralysing spinal infection, Dr. Axe offers a roadmap for anyone facing health challenges. This conversation will transform how you understand your body's capacity to heal.00:00 Dr. Josh Axe introduction01:13 The path to natural health04:39 How emotions shape physical wellbeing07:09 Breaking free from sugar addiction12:19 Why regular blood testing matters14:39 Self-awareness in health20:45 Fighting America's nutrient crisis27:03 When AI meets nutrition science35:06 The future of virtual healthcare40:29 Shopping for better health45:06 Big food's organic revolution46:20 Why pharma fears healthy eating47:51 Navigating supplement quality51:23 Understanding what "organic" really means55:14 Personalising your diet approach1:00:00 Timing nutrients for optimal health1:02:15 Reversing "impossible" health conditions1:08:31 Exploring cutting-edge therapies1:14:26 What your family history reveals1:20:50 Preventing cancer through lifestyle1:22:14 Sleep's hidden power for body composition1:27:05 Creating your perfect sleep environment1:29:43 Pre-sleep rituals for deeper rest1:31:30 Clearing mental fog naturally» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com» Custom Bioniq supplements: https://www.bioniq.com/mikethurston • 40% off your first month of Bioniq GO • 20% off your first month of Bioniq PRO» Join @Whoop and get your first month for free - https://join.whoop.com/mikethurston» Follow Josh«Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjoshaxe/?hl=enWebsite: https://draxe.com/

E078 - I Grew My Audience From 0 to 6.1 Million Followers With This Four-Step Framework
When most people talk about creating content, they focus on equipment, expertise, or having something groundbreaking to say. But today's guest demolishes those excuses. Jun Yuh reveals how he built an audience of 8 million followers while studying biomedical engineering—not by creating perfect content, but by simply showing up every day. From filming quick videos during lunch breaks to posting consistently for 5 years straight without missing a day, Jun shows that consistency trumps perfection. We explore his "100 video rule" that turns experimentation into strategy, why most beginners focus on the wrong metrics, and how understanding your audience matters more than production quality. Whether you're struggling with impostor syndrome or wondering how to monetise your passion, this conversation offers practical insights from someone who's built a thriving content empire by valuing consistency over complexity.00:00 Jun’s start in content creation 02:30 TikTok’s influence on Jun’s journey 03:08 Staying consistent and understanding your audience 05:02 Hiring help for content production 06:13 Adapting to trends while staying authentic 09:47 Shifting content focus over time 14:06 Expanding to new platforms and camera confidence 22:34 Key advice for aspiring creators 28:09 Overcoming imposter syndrome 34:38 Knowing strengths and weaknesses in content 37:59 Planning content for efficiency 41:52 Short-form vs. long-form content 45:36 Strategies to grow and engage an audience 51:03 Managing time for content creation 58:48 Monetisation and reinvesting earnings 1:09:07 Staying consistent through creative blocks 1:18:29 Planning and working with a team 1:22:09 Future of social media and evolving strategies 1:29:22 Handling public scrutiny and criticism» Escape the 9-5 & build your dream life - https://www.digitalplaybook.net/» Transform your physique - https://www.thrstapp.com/» My clothing brand, THRST - https://thrstofficial.com» Custom Bioniq supplements: https://www.bioniq.com/mikethurston • 40% off your first month of Bioniq GO • 20% off your first month of Bioniq PRO» Join @Whoop and get your first month for free - https://join.whoop.com/mikethurston» Follow Jun«Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jun_yuh/?hl=enPrivate Mentorship: https://tinyurl.com/4yar2eyr
