A WONDERJUNKIE is someone who is passionately curious with an insatiable appetite for learning—someone who follows curiosity wherever it leads.

Curiosity and wonder open an infinite path of discovery.

Through conversations with the remarkable people I meet around the world, I explore the nature of consciousness, the nature of reality, human potential, creativity, and what it means to be human. more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#161 Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker- Clarity, Empowerment, & Direction
Q: How do you approach fasting and meals within circadian biology for real-world people who have busy lives?
Stabilize first, then fast. Most people should start with three meals to steady insulin, then consider two meals as balance improves. Time-restricted eating can be beneficial if aligned with circadian signals, avoiding long fasts that spike cortisol in some individuals. The key is to eat earlier in the day and have the lightest dinner, using fasting as a tool to support healing, not as a punitive rule.
#161 Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker- Clarity, Empowerment, & Direction
Q: What practical steps do you recommend for someone who wants to start balancing their blood sugar and reducing stress?
Start with data and rhythm: monitor or track how stress and food timing affect blood sugar, front-load calories earlier in the day, reduce late-night eating, and establish a two-hour wind-down before bed. Use morning intentions and gratitude to set the day's trajectory, and introduce gentle movement or nature exposure to calm the nervous system. Gradually replace external prescriptions with habits that align with circadian biology and neuroplasticity.
#161 Dr. Stacy Barczak Baker- Clarity, Empowerment, & Direction
Q: Can you walk us through how you shifted from conventional medicine to a holistic approach, and what sparked that change?
The shift came from personal health struggles—anxiety, insomnia, hormonal issues—and observing that medications rarely explained the root cause. I began exploring fitness, nutrition, naturopathy, Ayurveda, and later functional medicine to connect the dots between the nervous system, blood sugar, and environment. This led me to emphasize grounding practices like meditation, time outside, and understanding circadian biology to help clients heal from the inside out.
#157 Andrew M. Davis - Process Philosophy, Metaphysics & Meaning.
Q: What is the role of God in process thought?
God grounds the range of possibilities and orders them in a way that enables novelty to unfold, acting as a relational, panentheistic presence rather than a coercive force, and offering the world its next best option for transcendence.
#157 Andrew M. Davis - Process Philosophy, Metaphysics & Meaning.
Q: How do you start explaining process philosophy to newcomers?
Explain the fundamental shift from seeing reality as static substances to understanding becoming as the core of existence, starting from experience as the primary data point and then showing how nouns and verbs map onto a living, relational universe.
