Welcome to Superhumanize, where we explore the frontiers of human potential and the complex tapestry of consciousness. Today, we have an extraordinary guest—one of the most controversial and transformative thinkers of our time, Dr. Marc Gafni. Marc is not just a philosopher; he’s a revolutionary mind, a master teacher, and a provocateur who challenges us to rethink the very fabric of our reality.
Marc Gafni is known for his groundbreaking 'source code teachings' that delve into the profound depths of spirituality, ethics, and human connection. His theories, such as the Unique Self, CosmoErotic Humanism, and the transition from Homo sapiens to Homo Amor, are not just philosophical musings; they are calls to action for a global reawakening—a radical shift in how we view ourselves and our collective story.
In this episode, we talk about Marc’s latest work, 'First Principles & First Values,' where he collaborates with other visionary thinkers like Ken Wilber and Zak Stein to chart a path through the meta-crisis facing our civilization. This book is a manifesto for the future of humanity, where love, value, and the essence of what it means to be human are redefined in the most fundamental ways.
We'll explore some of the most pressing questions of our time: How do we confront the root cause of evil, what does it mean to reclaim our collective narrative as a love story? And how do we ensure that emerging technologies serve to enhance, rather than undermine, our journey toward becoming Homo Amor?
Marc’s insights are intellectually stimulating and they challenge us to integrate spiritual enlightenment, ethical living, and the art of meaningful relationships into our everyday lives. This is a conversation that promises to push boundaries and invites you into a new way of seeing the world.

Welcome to Superhumanize, where we explore the wisdom and traditions that connect us to our roots, our purpose, and the universe itself. Today, we have the incredible honor of hosting Kumu Ramsay Taum, a revered cultural practitioner and spiritual leader whose work in integrating Native Hawaiian values into modern contexts is truly evolutionary.
Kumu Ramsay is a living bridge between the ancient and the modern. Trained and mentored by some of the most respected Hawaiian elders, he is a master of several Native Hawaiian practices, including Hoʻoponopono, a powerful process of reconciliation and healing; Lomi haha, an art of body alignment and healing; and Kaihewalu Lua, the formidable Hawaiian martial art. His journey has been deeply influenced by the belief that true warriors must first be healers—a philosophy that stands in stark contrast to today's often misunderstood notions of strength and masculinity.
Imagine a man who, with nothing more than a calm smile and subtle movements, can disarm larger, highly trained opponents—because for Kumu Ramsay, the essence of combat is not in the violence but in the preservation of peace and balance. In our conversation today, we will explore not just the techniques, but the profound spiritual and ethical foundations that guide these practices.
Kumu Ramsay's contributions go far beyond personal mastery. As the founder and president of the Life Enhancement Institute of the Pacific, he has been a transformational leader, advocating for the integration of cultural and place-based values into business and community models. His approach is a call to honor our interconnectedness and to operate from a place of respect, reciprocity, and sustainability—a message that is critically needed in our world today.
Today, we’ll talk about his personal journey, about what it means to be a true warrior, and how ancient Hawaiian principles can guide us toward a more balanced, respectful, and connected way of living.
Get ready to be inspired by Kumu Ramsay, where the wisdom of the past meets the possibilities of the future.

Welcome to a journey into the mind and the mystic. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce Dr. Shauheen Etminan, a visionary who marries the ancient wisdom of Eastern medicine with the cutting-edge discoveries of modern science.
As the founder of Ancestral Magi and VCENNA, Dr. Etminan is at the forefront of exploring how sacred plants and their psychoactive compounds, particularly beta-carbolines, can revolutionize our approach to mental health. These compounds, found in plants like Espand, also known as Syrian rue, have been used ceremonially for millennia to enhance mindfulness, promote longevity, and foster deep spiritual experiences.
In our discussion we will talk about how these ancient practices are supported by modern neuroscience, creating potent natural supplements that maintain legal status while offering profound therapeutic benefits.
Join us as we uncover the secrets of ancestral botanicals and how they transform our understanding of well-being and consciousness and as we decode the mystic messages of the past to navigate the complexities of the modern world.

Welcome back, Superhumans. Today, we are navigating the deep waters where sexuality, trauma, and psychedelics converge. Our guest, Dr. Cat Meyer, is not just a therapist; she's a modern-day alchemist of the soul—a psychotherapist who integrates the ancient wisdom of tantra and yoga with the cutting-edge science of ketamine therapy. As a licensed psychotherapist, sexologist, and author, Dr. Cat is revolutionizing how we perceive and experience sexuality. She’s helping us redefine our relationships with our bodies, our partners, and ultimately, with ourselves.
Imagine a world where sexual trauma is not just addressed but transmuted into a source of deep power and healing; where intimate relationships become a sacred dance of exploration and growth; and where the boundaries of pleasure and pain blur to offer a path of profound self-realization. This is the world Dr. Cat invites us into—a world where shadow work, psychedelics, and BDSM can be tools for transformation rather than taboos.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore some highly provocative topics: How can psychedelics help us heal from sexual trauma and enhance our connection to our bodies? What does it mean to truly engage in shadow work, not just as a buzzword, but as a path to reclaim our authenticity? And for those curious about the world of play parties and BDSM, Dr. Cat will guide us through understanding these experiences not just as kink, but as profound avenues for growth, healing, and integration.
We'll also get personal—how does one navigate their own trauma and bring it into the light for healing? Dr. Cat has guided many through these treacherous waters, and today, she'll share her wisdom with us. So, if you’re ready to challenge the norms, dive deep, and emerge with a more profound understanding of your own sexual and spiritual identity, you are in the right place.

Welcome back to Superhumanize, where we explore the frontier of what it means to truly thrive in body, mind, and spirit. Today, I’m excited to be joined by someone who stands at the intersection of cutting-edge science and practical wellness—Dr. John Lewis.
Dr. Lewis is a pioneer in the field of nutritional psychiatry and cognitive health. His groundbreaking work has expanded our understanding of how nutrition impacts the brain and has also led to tangible solutions that are transforming lives. Most notably, Dr. Lewis conducted a landmark clinical study on Alzheimer’s disease, where his innovative use of an aloe polysaccharide multi-nutrient complex led to clinically significant improvements in cognitive function, reduced inflammation, and enhanced immune responses in patients with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s. This study has opened new avenues for potentially reversing the cognitive decline associated with this devastating disease.
In this episode, we’ll explore the very mechanisms by which the food we eat can enhance cognitive function, support immune health, and even modulate inflammation—a root cause of so many chronic conditions. We’ll go into the fascinating world of plant-based nutrients and their role in detoxification, heavy metal chelation, and adult stem cell production.
Beyond the science, what truly sets Dr. Lewis apart is his commitment to applying this knowledge in ways that are both accessible and deeply impactful. Whether you're a health practitioner, a biohacker, or someone simply looking to optimize your mental clarity and longevity, this conversation will deliver insights that could very well change the way you think about food and health.

Welcome to this episode of The Superhumanize Podcast, where we explore the frontiers of science and spirituality looking into the profound connections that shape our understanding of reality. Today, I am thrilled to introduce a guest who has been at the forefront of this intersection for decades—Lynne McTaggart.
Lynne McTaggart is not just an author; she’s a pioneer whose groundbreaking work has challenged and expanded our understanding of the mind, intention, and the very fabric of the Universe. Her international bestsellers, including The Field, The Intention Experiment, and The Power of Eight, have redefined how we perceive the role of consciousness in shaping our reality.
Her work is rooted in science, drawing from quantum physics, noetic science, and epigenetics, while also resonating with ancient spiritual wisdom. For instance, Lynne's exploration of the Zero Point Field is reminiscent of the concept of Brahman in the Upanishads, where all existence is interconnected in a vast web of energy and consciousness.
Lynne’s research has demonstrated the measurable impact of intention through scientific experiments, and also echoes the timeless wisdom found in texts like the Tao Te Ching and the Bhagavad Gita, where the power of focused thought and collective consciousness is revered as a path to transformation.
In today’s conversation, we’re going to focus on her research and how the latest discoveries in quantum mechanics, such as non-locality and retrocausality, are not just theoretical but have practical implications for our daily lives.
Lynne McTaggart has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and her insights have inspired millions around the world, including the likes of Dan Brown, who referenced her work in his bestseller The Lost Symbol. Today, we’ll be exploring not just the surface of her work but diving into the intricate details that make her one of the most fascinating thinkers of our time.
In my conversation with Lynn, you'll discover:

Imagine a world where the foods we eat daily are quietly eroding our brain's capabilities, silently accelerating the aging process of our most vital organ. Recent groundbreaking studies have unveiled the shocking impact of ultra-processed foods on our brain health, revealing significant reductions in gray matter volume and white matter integrity.
This isn't science fiction—this is our reality. As bad as this sounds and is, the good news is, we can turn this around and actively not only stop the damage to our brain, but heal it and optimize it.
Our guest today is a globally recognized expert whose work has revolutionized our understanding of brain health and the critical role of diet in neurological function. We are honored to speak with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and Fellow of the American College of Nutrition.
He is the author of several New York Times bestselling books, including "Grain Brain," which has sold over a million copies worldwide, and his latest, "Drop Acid," which explores the surprising role of uric acid in metabolic diseases. Dr. Perlmutter's extensive research and groundbreaking findings have been published in esteemed journals such as the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Archives of Neurology, and Neurosurgery.
Dr. Perlmutter's research has been a beacon of hope, offering practical, science-backed strategies for enhancing brain health and preventing neurodegenerative diseases.
Today, we will delve into how ultra-processed foods contribute to cognitive decline and brain structure changes, explore the gut-brain axis's profound impact on neurological health, and discuss innovative preventative strategies for conditions like Alzheimer’s.
In a world where chronic diseases and cognitive decline are on the rise, Dr. Perlmutter's insights offer a beacon of hope and practical guidance. Whether you're concerned about your brain health, seeking to enhance cognitive resilience, or looking for the latest scientific breakthroughs in neurology, this conversation is packed with invaluable information.

Imagine hosting an uninvited guest inside your body—one that could be silently wreaking havoc on your health without you even knowing. Parasites, those unseen invaders, are far more common than most people realize and can be linked to a myriad of chronic conditions.
