In a time where we have more luxuries than ever before, with food delivered by the touch of a button, millions of products available for overnight delivery, and vending machines where you can buy a car, we have access to more now than ever before. On paper, we should be thriving, yet our happiness seems to be at an all-time low. This week, Aaron is joined by his wife, Mariah, a creative marketer, who breaks down some of the tactics used by companies to get consumers to buy more. We discuss why physical things often leave us unfulfilled, and some practical takeaways on how to have a healthy relationship with our stuff, while living in a consumeristic society.

If you take a trip to the grocery store, you'll find that the most popular foods are the ones that come in a package (chips, cookies, cereals, etc.). With the wide use of industrially processed seed oils, these foods are very high in Omega-6s and essentially depleted of Omega-3s. This shift from whole foods to processed foods has created a sharp increase in chronic illness over the years. In today's episode, we talk about how Omega-3s are crucial for: Subscribe to the Health Hackd Newsletter Rate the show on Apple Podcast Follow along on Instagram Try the cleanest, most effective electrolyte drink on the market: Drink LMNT Resources How highly processed foods harm memory in the aging brainOmega-3 fatty acids' supplementation in Alzheimer's disease: A systematic reviewDietary fish oil decreases C-reactive protein, interleukin-6Supplementation with oil rich in EPA improves global cognitive function in healthy, young adultsComparison of therapeutic effects of omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid and fluoxetine, separately and in combination, in major depressive disorderShort-term supplementation of acute long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may alter depression status and decrease symptomology among young adults with depression: A preliminary randomized and placebo controlled trialA meta-analytic review of double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of antidepressant efficacy of omega-3 fatty acidsrandomized controlled trialModerate consumption of fatty fish reduces diastolic blood pressure in overweight and obese European young adults during energy restrictionNIH: Omega-3 Fatty AcidsNordic Naturals Ultimate Omega SupplementDisclaimer This podcast is not intended to provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Upon entering your local gym, you are likely welcomed by an overly-enthusiastic employee along with a fridge full of energy drinks, promising to take your workout to the next level. But one pre-workout drink that doesn't get enough attention is beet juice (a.k.a beetroot juice). Yep, the nectar from that root vegetable that no one really enjoys. Some people refer to it as "nature's Viagra" due to the way it increases blood flow. Whether you're looking to increase performance in the gym or in the bedroom, beet juice may be the solution. In today's episode, we share some of the research behind this underrepresented juice as a pre-workout drink as well as our experience in using it to fuel a CrossFit workout. It turns out, Dwight Schrute may have been onto something at Schrute Farms.

Mental health has been getting a lot of well-deserved attention in recent years, but the philosophy on how best to improve mental and emotional wellness varies by practice. In this episode, we talk about an integrative approach to mental health with Dr. Nicole Cain, who has her degree in clinical psychology and is a licensed Naturopathic Physician in Arizona. She has been interviewed as a mental health expert in Forbes, consulted for major companies like Orb Health, designed the integrative mental health curriculum for Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (SCNM), and has been a national speaker for several leading behavioral health organizations. She takes a multidisciplinary approach to mental health that is medical, psychological, and holistic. She aims to get to the root of symptoms to pursue real healing. This integrative approach to mental and emotional wellness has helped so many people get their life back. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did!

In the race to end the pandemic, pharmaceutical companies have been working on therapeutics to reduce the risk of hospitalizations and death from COVID-19. One of those companies, Merck, just recently announced an oral antiviral drug that supposedly reduces the risk of hospitalization and death by approximately 50% compared to placebo patients. While Merk pursues Emergency Use Authorization for their drug, Molnupiravir, we provide a breakdown of the history of this drug, how it came to be, and where the research stands on this so-called "miracle drug".

The topics of nutrition and mental health independently get a lot of attention, but rarely do we hear about how those two are linked. We don't often talk about the food we eat impacts our mental health, despite the strong connection between the two. In today's episode, we dive into the world of Nutritional Psychiatry by looking at how diet directly impacts the brain.

When it comes to burning fat, most people depend primarily on a low-carb/ketogenic diet. And while diet certainly serves an important role in metabolic flexibility, one major factor in our ability to burn fat vs. carbs is exercise. Exercise plays a big part in how metabolically flexible we are. And although it may seem that the more we exercise, the more fat we'll burn, it's not that simple. In fact, exercise can also make us metabolically INflexible! In other words, too much exercise can actually cause harm. We dive into all of that with our special guest, Ryan Baxter. Ryan is a Health Coach from New Hampshire who is certified through the Primal Health Coach Institute. We found Ryan through an online health community called The Healthy Rebellion, where Ryan is a moderator and insightful contributor (along with the founder of The Healthy Rebellion, and previous guest, Robb Wolf). Ryan also has a fantastic blog and newsletter that digs into nutrition and fitness topics that don't often get covered elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and go check him out (links below)!
