What is EZ water? And why the heck is it important?

Dr. Gerald Pollack joins me on episode #13 of Ancestral Health Radio to discuss the many benefits of water, and, more specifically—it's fourth phase.

We also mention water quality, his newest untitled book, and how to supercharge your body with a seemingly unlimited power source... that's right beneath your feet.

In today's episode, you'll learn...

  • The significance of EZ (Exclusion Zone) water,
  • The benefits of drinking natural spring water,
  • The positive (or shall I say negative?) effects that Earthing has on the body, and...
  • Much, much more.

Hosted by James Kevin Broderick, Ancestral Health Radio explores a simple yet profound question: how can we live well now by understanding how we lived then? Each weekly conversation moves beyond theory, offering grounded insights from experts in nutrition, physical movement, and daily lifestyle design. The core idea isn't about rejecting modern life, but rather thoughtfully integrating its tools with timeless principles of wellness that are encoded in our biology. You'll hear detailed discussions on adapting ancestral patterns of eating, exercise, and rest to contemporary routines, all aimed at supporting sustained energy, resilience, and longevity. This podcast operates on the belief that our genetic blueprint holds keys to peak physical fitness and mental clarity, even in a world of constant digital stimulation and processed food. Broderick guides these dialogues with a focus on practical, actionable strategies you can apply immediately, whether the topic is metabolic health, stress management, or functional strength. The result is a resource for anyone feeling the disconnect between advanced technology and their own innate well-being, providing a roadmap to realign daily habits with your body's deepest expectations for health.
