In this episode, Jason and Sebastian simplify the concepts around health and how to have optimal health. Jason has a great skill in breaking down the complexity of cellular needs and the modern-day environment which affects our overall health. In this video, health is described as 100% cellular function, a term called homeostasis, and the derivatives of how to obtain it. Ultimately our cells need two things, just like every other aspect of our health. This is a minimum of toxins and a sufficiency of nutrients. This concept is the basis of the episode, that runs deep into our biological ancestry and the impacts of modern society on our genetic make-up as human beings. Jason has been a Sports Practitioner with the World Surfing League for 20 years. He specialises in the restoration of biomechanical function, both for athletes and those who have lost it due to inadequate postural problems. Jason is also a biohacker and human performance optimizer. After overcoming his own challenges and ridding his body from mercury, he now runs detox programs and teaches others techniques that they can implement in their day to day lives as well as more complex procedures for detoxification. When treating his patients, Jason leaves no stone unturned. Educating them on everything from nutrition, fitness and lifestyle choices and how they can overcome toxicity and hormonal-related issues.   JASON GILBERT ON INSTAGRAM: @jasongilbert_ JASON GILBERT WEBSITE: www.wellbeingjase.com JASON GILBERT RETREAT WEBSITE feelyoungerlonger.com.au   CONNECT INSTAGRAM: @TheSaunaShow | https://www.instagram.com/TheSaunaShow TWITTER: @SaunaShow | https://twitter.com/SaunaShow WEBSITE: http://www.TheSaunaShow.com   SUPPORT  We love bringing you information that will enrich your life and support greater health, vitality and happiness.

Cells are the basic structure for all living organisms and their functions are responsible for our growth, metabolism, reproduction, signal transduction, and apoptosis. For us to have ‘optimal health’, we need our cells to run at 100% cellular function - meaning our cells are working as efficiently as they are designed too. For this to happen, our cells need 3 core components: to reduce toxins, have the correct voltage, and obtain a sufficient amount of nutrients. In this episode of The Sauna Show, we sit down with a chemical engineer and the founder of Quantum Uplift - Ashoka Houlahan. Ashoka explains the necessities of cellular function and the technologies that are used to ‘boost’ cellular functions. His organisation, Quantum Uplift, is often described as “the forefront for changing the wellness industry through the use of advanced, non-toxic, drug-free cellular rejuvenation technologies”. We touch on the possible impacts of 5G and explain the impact frequency and electromagnetic frequencies impact cells and cell function. We also explain the 3 best ways you can protect yourself from viruses on a cellular level.

Dr. Nina Ilic is a geneticist who specialises in epigenetics - the study of the modification of gene expression - and in this episode, she speaks how our genetic adaption disperses the old beliefs that ‘we are our genetics’.

A really powerful episode that will empower you to make a change, as Nina offers her unique insight into how genetics affect the way our body and brain perform, function, and respond. We may not be able to change the sequence of our genetic make-up but we can influence the ways in that it's utilised.
