The Life Stylist

Most birth conversations stop in the delivery room. This one goes far beyond it.

Eyla Cuenca has attended around 300 births over the past 15 years, training doulas and helping women process birth trauma that often stretches back generations. In this episode, Eyla shares what changed after she birthed her own daughter, the grief that surfaced during labor, and why she stepped away from the polarity between hospital birth and free birth.

We also dive into postpartum phone addiction, Edward Tronick’s still-face experiment, and Eyla’s perspective on when the soul fully anchors into the body.

From there, the conversation expands into reincarnation, soul fractals, the Akashic record, and a deeply personal story about how a mushroom ceremony reshaped my relationship to past abortions and circumcision.

We close on the legal side of birth: birth certificates, hospital paperwork, and what really happens to the placenta once it’s classified as “birth waste.”

This might be one of the only times telepathy was captured in a controlled lab.

Ky Dickens is an award-winning filmmaker known for documentaries that tackle complex social issues and drive cultural change. In 2024, she created The Telepathy Tapes, a viral podcast exploring telepathy in the non-speaking community that reached #1 globally and won a Webby Award.

In this episode, we get into a filmed triple-blind telepathy experiment conducted in a controlled lab setting. Participants separated by distance began describing locations they had never physically seen. Ky shares, “We caught it all on camera… it might be one of the most spontaneous validations of telepathy or remote viewing ever happened in a lab.”

We also talk through her shift from traditional documentary work into studying non-speaking individuals, where communication through spelling appears to reveal consistent access to information beyond conventional sensory input. From there, we explore near-death experiences, creative inspiration, and scientific efforts to examine consciousness through measurable methods.

If you’ve ever been curious about telepathy, remote viewing, autism, or the nature of consciousness, this episode looks at what emerges when these phenomena are observed repeatedly under controlled conditions.

You'll learn:

[00:00] Introduction
[05:17] Ky shares how she went from skeptical documentary filmmaker to stumbling into the world of non-speaking telepathy
[08:53] We explore why consciousness, not matter, may be the foundation of reality
[20:00] Ky explains how psychic gifts emerge at life's edges, in the dying, the young, and those with apraxia
[26:31] We examine the contested question of autism: should it be healed, or is it an evolution of consciousness?
[34:52] Ky explains how non-speakers can appear as accidental mystics, including pre-birth memory and hidden energetic work
[50:20] Ky breaks down how spelling-to-communicate works and why human presence, not AI, is essential to the process
[57:06] We discuss the nonprofit, spelling grants, and the legislative fight to get spelling into schools
[59:11] Ky shares the three teachers that shaped her: a skeptical father, Mary Oliver, and the non-speakers themselves

Your body already makes one of the most powerful antimicrobials on Earth, and almost nobody knows about it.

Hypochlorous acid lives inside your white blood cells. When you get cut, burned, or scraped, your immune system sends it to the injury site to kill bacteria, calm inflammation, and support healing. Scientists have known how to replicate it for over a century, but until recently, it couldn’t stay stable long enough outside a hospital to be bottled.

Justin Gardner spent 20 years launching regenerative medical products, including skin grafts and advanced wound care technologies. When he came across hypochlorous acid, he saw something different: a non-toxic antimicrobial that works fast and aligns with how the body already heals. He licensed the technology and built Active Skin Repair to bring it to consumers.

In this conversation, we get into how it compares to things like colloidal silver and manuka honey, why most products labeled “hypochlorous acid” don’t actually work, and how it’s being used for everything from post-surgery recovery to everyday skin issues.

For the next week, The Life Stylist loyal listeners can get their biggest discount, 25% off all Active Skin Repair products, when you go to https://lukestorey.com/skinrepair and use code LUKE at checkout. After May 5th, code LUKE will still get you 20% off.

What you’re about to hear about conspiracies might surprise you.

In this episode, Alyson and I answer listener questions covering conspiracy theories, biohacking regrets, and the psychology of escapism.

Tune in to find out why I stopped trying to prove what really happened during major world events and started focusing on what I can verify. I also share the one health experiment I wish I could undo, and what it taught me about the difference between forcing results and partnering with my body.

Alyson opens up about her years in semi-retirement and a recent realization: her service to others never stopped, it just became invisible. We move into how masculine drive and feminine subtlety carry their own power.

The episode is an honest conversation about escapism, porn addiction, sugar cravings, and the painful process of real behavioral change. My advice: map out what you're running from before you fix what you're running toward.

Most people hear about kambo and think it’s reckless and dangerous, until they see what happens when it’s done right.

My understanding of kambo changed a lot through this conversation, especially after hearing how it’s been used not just as a traditional Amazonian medicine, but also as a tool for addressing complex health challenges. Caitlin Thompson brings a rare blend of experience to this space, having served thousands of sessions while also approaching the work through a scientific lens rooted in neurobiology and research.

Her path into frog medicine came from navigating her own history with Lyme disease, lupus, and chronic illness, which gives real context to why she approaches this work with both precision and respect. We get into what kambo healing looks like in practice, including how dosage, safety, and nervous system state can completely change the outcome of a session.

There’s also a deeper conversation around why many people have overwhelming experiences, and how a more intentional, minimalist approach can unlock benefits around immune support, chronic illness recovery, and nervous system healing.

This is a grounded look at ancient tools meeting modern science, and what becomes possible when healing is approached with both rigor and humility.
