In this one, we discuss conspirituality, opening the doors of
perception with prescription and meditation, movies we've been
enjoying, fictional world-building, high-interest I bonds,
lessons from Amy Tan, full-body MRI scans, Austin vs. San
Francisco, why I refrain from "gotcha" interviews on this show,
and much, much more.


Please enjoy!

This episode is brought to you
by Athletic
Greens. I get asked all the time,
“If you could use only one supplement, what would it be?” My
answer is usually AG1 by Athletic Greens, my
all-in-one nutritional insurance. I recommended it in The
4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my
best with nutrient-dense meals, of course,
but AG further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals,
and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and
the immune system. 


Right now, Athletic
Greens is offering you their Vitamin D
Liquid Formula free with your first subscription
purchase—a vital nutrient for a strong immune system and
strong
bones. Visit AthleticGreens.com/Tim to
claim this special offer today and receive the free Vitamin D
Liquid Formula (and five free travel packs) with your first
subscription purchase! That’s up to a one-year
supply of Vitamin D as added value when you try their delicious
and comprehensive all-in-one daily greens product.
