  • Challenging Medical Norms with Dr. Tom Cowan

    What if health and disease aren’t what we’ve been taught to believe?

    In this episode of Futures Edge: Finance Unfiltered, host Bobby Iaccino along with Kevin “Lex” Luthringshausen engage with Dr. Tom Cowan, a former physician who challenges conventional medical beliefs. Dr. Cowan shares why he chose to step away from the traditional medical system and how his perspective on illness, viruses, and immunity has evolved. He introduces the idea that many common symptoms may actually be signs of the body healing itself—not signals of disease—and invites listeners to explore a deeper understanding of how environment, lifestyle, and nutrition impact well-being.

    From discussing the role of toxins in modern life to reevaluating our beliefs about immunity and vaccines, this episode encourages critical thinking, scientific inquiry, and personal agency in health decisions.

  • Brain on Bikes: What Riding Tells Us About Being Human
    May 8 2025

    What if riding a motorcycle could rewire your brain—and reveal truths about society, risk, and human instinct?

    Neuroscientist and cognitive theorist Mark Changizi joins the Futures Edge with Jim Iuorio and Bob Iaccino to explore how brain science, cultural evolution, and motorcycle riding intersect. Blending physics with cognitive science, he unpacks mass hysteria during COVID-19, questions the role of experts, and reveals how our responses are shaped more by culture than clinical data.

    But that’s just the beginning. Drawing from his book The Motorcycle Mind, Changizi shifts gears into the immersive experience of riding motorcycles. From the thrill of countersteering and optic flow to the controversial idea that riding without a helmet can actually heighten sensory awareness, he explains why motorcycles are more than machines—they’re psychological tools for clarity, presence, and personal empowerment.
