Light energy, or photomodulation as it's called, is something that's underserved. I mean, the public doesn't know very much about it.

The device on your left is called the Weber laser, and it's from north of Frankfurt in Germany.

Ben Greenfield (0:20)

It's quite the machine.

Ahvie Herskowitz (0:22)

And it's probably the best studied laser device, and there's two or three different components to it.

You have the different frequencies, typically between 500 and a thousand nanometers. You have red, blue, green, yellow, and UV light and infrared. So you'll get all of those in what we call a rainbow, a rainbow IV session. It photomodulates, so it interacts with the yellow and the vitamin C and the magnesium and the drips. So it activates the energy drip more.

Welcome to the show.

All right, guys, here's a fun pop quiz for you. How many sailors throughout history died from scurvy caused by vitamin C deficiency during the time of Christopher Columbus?

Is it 20,000?

Is it 200,000? Or is it two million? All right, got your answer?

Drum roll, please.

Two million, two million people. Would you believe two million people had to die before we figured that out? Well, here's where it gets crazier. There's a little known deficiency right now killing millions of people around the world, and the disease it's causing? Insomnia.

According to a study published by Academic Press, magnesium deficiency is a leading cause in sleep disruption in both children and adults. The problem is not any old magnesium will do the trick. Recent studies have shown there's actually seven different forms of magnesium, and your body needs them in precisely the right balance for proper sleep. There's only one magnesium supplement on the market that has the full spectrum of all seven forms. It's called magnesium breakthrough. And I gotta tell you, when I take this stuff, I just feel on, like my body's finally getting something it's been desperately needing.

And magnesium breakthrough is now available at a 10% discount off your first bottle. And if you're not satisfied in how it fixes your sleep, your digestion, your energy levels, like it does for me, or if you're not satisfied for any other reason, they give you a prompt and courteous refund on the spot. Guaranteed. Here's how you do all that. magbreakthrough.com/ben and use code Ben10 to get 10% off your first bottle. Again, it's magbreakthrough.com/ben and use code Ben10 to get 10% off your first bottle of Magnesium Breakthrough. All right, folks, we all love the sun and all the vitamin D it provides, but you don't necessarily love the skin damage excess sun exposure can cause. Traditional sunscreens contain potentially cancer-causing ingredients like avobenzene is a big one to look at. That's the latest news on sunscreens at least, but safer options for sunscreen contain physical blockers like zinc oxide. Both of those help to avoid burns, but also block vitamin D. So what do you do? Well, first you could eat collagen, eat healthy fats, omega-3 fatty acids, use antioxidants like acizanthin, drink quality water with added electrolytes, optimize morning instead of afternoon sun exposure. But then there's also a couple of products made by Alitura. I interviewed the guy who runs Alitura, Andy Nilo, completely healed his face after a car accident using a lot of these crazy skin ingredients. And he's got some new stuff to specifically help with sun damage. The first is called the Gold Serum. We just got back from a cycling trip in Italy and my sons were using this every day. It's got astaxanthin and marine collagen, which combined help to target oxidative damage and reduce UVB induced inflammation of distressed skin while encouraging rapid repair of the skin. Then they got CoQ10 in there, which is the first line of defense against oxidative damage and improves the functional ability of the mitochondria, which is necessary for your skin to be healthy at a cellular level. Then the other product that Alitura has, you should try, is called their moisturizer, which has sea buckthorn oil in it. And these essential fatty acids, about 12 times the vitamin C of an orange, more skin soothing vitamin E than any other plant-based oil. And that also is fantastic for soothing and protecting the skin from sunburns and UVA and UVB exposure. So Alitura is going to give all of my listeners a 20% discount on not only everything they have for radiant, healthy skin, and they have derma rollers, clay masks, anything you need to reverse aging, but also they've now got this gold serum and moisturizer that are amazing to help you with the sun. They're not sunscreens, they instead heal your skin from the inside out. Check them out, Alitura. Here's how, go to Alitura, A-L-I-T-U-R-A, alitura.com today, and use code BG20 to get 20% discount on your order. So alitura.com, use code BG20, they'll get you 20% off of anything from Alitura.
