Anna Vocino: Say “NO” to Big Food and Build Your Own Business Instead Nov 21, 2024

Have you ever wondered why almost every single packaged food contains industrial seed oils, anti-caking agents, preservatives, petrochemical flavorings and other non-foods?

Chef James Barry: Why Eating at Fancy Restaurants is Terrible for Your Health Nov 07, 2024

Why do fancy restaurants fill their meals with junk oils, sugars, chemical preservatives, and worse?

With rampant food inflation and razor thin margins, even the fanciest, most exclusive and expensive restaurants can’t resist the tendency to cut corners on ingredient quality.

That means that no matter how much you spend on eating out - with few exceptions - you’re still getting shockingly low-quality food.

So how do high profile celebrities and the rich and famous achieve such dramatic transformations?

And are regular joes and janes like us actually better off without private chefs and nutritionists?

Today we’re here with celebrity chef and entrepreneur, James Barry.

Chef James Barry’s 20 years in the field started as a private chef cooking for billionaires, musicians, and celebrities, including Tom Cruise, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, and John Cusack, to name a few. But it was becoming a father that forced him to go deeper in his exploration of functional food.

As the Founder of Pluck, Chef James is the creator of a unique organ-based superfood seasoning that can be sprinkled on foods for a tasty kick that packs the nutritional punch of grass-fed liver, kidney, spleen, heart and pancreas along with organic spices.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why the food served at fancy, expensive restaurants is so often terrible for our health
Simple cooking tips and techniques to make home-cooked meals more flavorful, satisfying, and nutritious
How to encourage picky eaters to become more adventurous by expanding their palate
The unexpected challenges and downsides of relying on external experts like private chefs and nutritionists
And much more…

Matt Beaudreau: How to Nurture Genius and Courage in a Habitually Compliant Population Oct 24, 2024

What’s the difference between education and indoctrination?

Is our education system broken, or is it operating as intended?

The public school conveyor belt is a relic of the Prussian military model, designed to produce compliant workers for factories rather than sovereign thinkers with upward mobility.

We’re left with a blindly obedient population that’s smart enough to follow orders, but not smart or courageous enough to question the status quo.

The masses are conditioned to become habitually compliant conformists forever reliant on external authority.

As Seth Godin writes, “To efficiently run a school, amplify fear (and destroy passion).”

These days, educators have limited intellectual freedom to teach what they want to teach.

In past decades, we had far less access to information or schooling, yet were far more educated. Now in the age of AI, we have access to unlimited information, but we don’t know if any of it is real or true.

So what is the future of education?

Our guest today is Matt Beaudreau, a former public school educator and administrator who has dedicated his career to rethinking the very foundations of our education system. Matt shares: “When I saw this system for what it was, I could no longer be a part of perpetuating it.”

As founder of the Apogee Strong mentorship program, Matt has an unwavering commitment to empowering young people to become sovereign, self-directed learners - a radical departure from the compliance-driven model that dominates our schools.

True education should foster creativity and critical thinking, allowing individuals to pursue their unique passions. Matt’s belief, which I share, is that genius is common, and true learning is about unlocking the innate genius in every one of us.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How to unshackle your mind from the limits of traditional schooling and cultural conditioning
Why modern education systems are anti-entrepreneurial and train students to be employees rather than innovators
How to utilize passion as a vehicle to learn how to learn
How to cultivate courage, foster civil discourse and intellectual flexibility to counter the polarization and echo chambers in today's society
The status games played by elite institutions
And much more…

Paul Millerd: Why He Blew Up His Life (and You Should, Too) Oct 10, 2024

Is your work aligned with your true calling in life?

Or are you being paid to overlook your overwhelming disinterest in the work? Is your work-life driven by an illusion where the trivial is disguised as important?

Tragically, this week’s guest admits, “I spent 10 years doing an enormous amount of work but feeling as if I created nothing of substance.”

Most of us know the feeling, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

In other words, work doesn’t have to suck.

Today, I'm thrilled to have my good friend and fellow Austinite, Paul Millerd joining us on the show.

Paul is a fellow former corporate consultant who has spent the past 7 years blazing an unconventional trail, leaving the rat race behind to pursue a life of creativity, curiosity, and freedom as an independent author and creator.

If you’re looking to reclaim your inner ambition, as Paul writes: “The only true and worthwhile edge is deeply caring about what you do.”

The real journey isn’t in indulging our desire to escape work, but in finding meaningful work that is true to our mission and purpose here on earth.

In this conversation, Paul shares the raw, unfiltered story of his journey - from the uncertainty and loneliness of leaving a successful consulting career, to the unexpected joys and challenges of building a life around his curiosity and passions. We'll dive into the frameworks he's developed for discerning "good work" from "bad work," and how he's navigated the ebb and flow of creative entrepreneurship, including the decision to turn down a lucrative publishing deal.

Whether you're feeling trapped in a soul-sucking job, or simply curious about what's possible when you break free of societal scripts, you're going to find an abundance of wisdom and inspiration in Paul's story.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Paul's framework for differentiating between "good work," "good enough work," and "bad work," and how you can apply this to your life
How to find a balance between creative work and financial stability
How to break free of your attachment to social status, material possessions, and your identity as an “achiever”
Sage advice for those who are considering leaving the traditional corporate world to pursue their passions and creative interests
How to coexist with your doubts and fears and feelings of uncertainty (instead of numbing or running away from them)
How to reclaim your ambition to pursue YOUR good work

Mark Divine: Master Your Mind’s Energy to Become Uncommon Sep 26, 2024

What does the concept of longevity mean to you?

Does it mean pumping your body full of exogenous hormones, peptides, stem cells, brain implants, and gradually replacing your organs with lab-grown pig parts? Perhaps some of us will sign up to be a brain in a jar?

Or can we cruise into our second century by living a simple life of self-reflection, meditating deep in the mountains?

Afterall, in remote corners of the world, there are legends of yogis and spiritual masters living so long that their true age is forgotten to time.

Indeed, there are many paths on the road to a long life. In the years ahead, the bifurcation between devout transhumanists on a quest to live forever and those who prefer a more natural approach to aging will become more and more obvious.

Today I’m honored to be joined by our friend Mark Divine, a former Navy SEAL commander, an entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, host of The Mark Divine Show, and renowned expert in personal transformation, mindfulness, and the untapped potential of the human mind.

In this expansive conversation, we explore the transformative power of silence and self-reflection, the intricate dance between the ego and attachment, as well as extraordinary feats of consciousness, healing and longevity documented in Eastern spiritual traditions.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

How to break free from the conditioning and limiting beliefs that lead many of us to a "common" life of quiet desperation
Powerful practices to master the mind’s energy by combining Eastern wisdom and Western science
Why sitting in silence and witnessing one's thoughts is crucial for deconstructing limiting beliefs and stories, leading to greater freedom and self-awareness
How to redefine your relationship with reality to unlock your full potential

Adam Gilbert: Overcome Self-Sabotage and Unlock Your Full Potential Sep 12, 2024

When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it?

We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage. Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition.

But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option. And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way.

By helping you work through the subconscious emotional blocks that prevent you from taking positive action, finding the right coach and accountability partner can make a massive difference in your long term results.

As today’s guest quips, "I can't help people solve their problems until I find out why they like having them."

Today we’re here with our friend, Adam Gilbert, trainer, author and founder of My Body Tutor, a company he created to help people stop making excuses when it comes to health and fitness by providing personal accountability.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete, a busy parent, a coach, or just dipping your toes into health and fitness, you'll walk away with actionable strategies and a renewed sense of motivation to make positive and lasting changes in your life.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Advice for parents who are trying to balance their own health goals with the demands of raising young children

Gabrielle Lyon: Why Meat-Eating and Strength Training are Key to Longevity Aug 29, 2024

Have you heard that eating animal protein causes cancer?

Or that you’ll save the world if you only give up hamburgers forever?

Despite dutifully reducing our consumption of animal protein for decades, rates of obesity and chronic disease have skyrocketed.

In the face of relentless anti-meat propaganda, what if the blanket advice to follow strict plant-based diets is actually accelerating rates of obesity and disease?

When I gave up meat as a young athlete for the sake of health and the environment, my results were abysmal. I lost muscle, gained fat, lacked energy, recovered poorly, and my race performance suffered.

Since plant-based fake meats and meat substitutes are incomplete proteins that are not well absorbed or utilized by our bodies, avoiding high-quality animal protein can lead to poor outcomes in health and performance for children and adults alike.

Meatless Mondays may sound virtuous, but they’re not saving the environment or solving the obesity epidemic as many are led to believe.

Indiscriminately blaming cattle for the sins of fossil fuels and industrial agriculture is a mistake. We all want to save the world, but as this week’s guest quips: “we can’t eat our way out of a climate crisis.”

Whether you’re raising animals or growing crops, industrial agriculture isn’t friendly to the environment or our health. Prioritizing the health of your body and the planet requires that we source real food according to the laws of nature, prioritizing regenerative agriculture and pasture-raised animals over the products of concentrated feedlots and industrial monocrops.

When it comes to health and performance, eating high-quality protein from healthy animals is one of the most powerful weapons we have to fight obesity, muscle wasting, and premature aging.

Today we’re back with our friend Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a New York Times Bestselling author, podcaster and functional medicine physician specializing in the concept of muscle-centric medicine, which focuses on the largest organ in the body, skeletal muscle, as the key to health and longevity.

In this episode with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, you’ll discover:

Why what we think of as aging is actually a disease of impaired muscle
The surprising relationship between meat, protein, and cancer
How society's focus on weight loss has led to neglect of muscle building, which is critical for overall health
The most effective exercises and training frequency to build skeletal muscle, optimize metabolism, and fight aging
And much more…

Loretta Breuning: Why You’re Not Happy (and What to Do About It) Aug 15, 2024

If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem?

No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough?

This is totally normal.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep.

We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness is flawed, however, as it assumes we’re meant to live in some perfect state of perpetual bliss. But that doesn’t jive with biology or reality.

The truth is that our mammalian brains are wired for survival, not to feel happy all the time.

Feelings of happiness and achievement are short-lived, and it’s meant to be that way.

But by harnessing proven principles of brain science and evolutionary biology, you can use dissatisfaction, pain and discomfort to propel you to your next epic success.

Today we’re back with our friend, Loretta Breuning, PhD, author, Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay, and Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why our brain's happy chemicals are only released in short spurts, and quickly habituate to rewards
How to untangle your emotional wiring by tracking down patterns from childhood
Why our natural "herd impulse" can lead to groupthink and the suppression of individuality (and how to counteract it)
Simple strategies to manage anxiety and fear
How to spark small joys and harness dopamine triggers in the brain’s reward system to create meaning and purpose in your life
And much more…

Dr. John Gray: How to Overcome Tech Addiction, Optimize Hormones, and Reignite Romance Aug 01, 2024

Do you feel like you’re addicted to screens?

Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life, but instead it’s fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity.

Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure you’re as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder.

The endless pursuit of corporate profits has created an algorithmic race to the bottom.

Constant digital stimulation rewires our brains, upsets hormonal balance, saps our energy, and even degrades our ability to feel connected to humans in real life.

The damage that social media and screentime can cause to mental health, especially for young women, is well-documented. Social media platforms contribute to body dysmorphia and eating disorders, and progressively lead to serious mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and far worse.

In the face of epidemic levels of loneliness and isolation, men who pursue pleasure from screens reinforce their addiction to digital stimulation, which causes testosterone levels, energy, and motivation to plummet.

So how can we reverse our overreliance on exploitative modern technology and create real, authentic human connections and relationships in a digital age?

Today we’re back with our friend Dr. John Gray, former monk and author of more than 20+ books including “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” the best-selling relationship book of all time.

In this episode with Dr. Gray, you’ll discover:

Simple strategies to increase testosterone in men, and balance hormones in women (without using exogenous drugs)
What living as a monk for 9 years taught Dr. Gray about mindfulness and meditation
How harnessing the “polarity” between masculine and feminine energies can reignite attraction, intimacy and romance in relationships
Why complaining can be addictive and what to do instead
How small acts of kindness and appreciation help build intimacy and connection in your relationships
The potential impacts and dangers of new technologies like virtual reality on future human relationships and interactions
And much more…

Dr. Cate Shanahan: How Vegetable Oils Destroy Our Health (and What to Eat Instead) Jul 18, 2024

Are we blaming red meat and butter for the problems vegetable oil caused?

Contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between either saturated fat or animal fat consumption and heart attacks.

Despite that fact, doctors learn that there is.

So why does the American Heart Association lie to doctors and the public about the true cause of heart disease?

All the way back in the 1950’s, Ancel Keys manipulated and falsified data to blame butter, red meat, and saturated fats for heart disease.

The American Heart Association has been misleading us about the cause of heart disease ever since.

This indoctrination of physicians, dietitians and the public enabled Big Oil and Big Food to flood the American diet with cheaply produced industrial vegetable and seed oils that alter our body chemistry in unfortunate and unnatural ways.

The very diet doctors recommend as healthy is making us sick.

Consuming industrial vegetable oils, like corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oils disrupts cellular energy metabolism and leads to toxicity, oxidative stress and disease in the body.

Conversely, avoiding newfangled industrial junk oils and replacing them with traditional fats like butter, tallow, olive oil, and coconut oil can help restore metabolic health. This week’s guest is here to set the record straight.

Returning to the show today is our friend, the brilliant Dr. Cate Shanahan, one of the world’s leading authorities on nutrition and human metabolism. A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why doctors working in the insurance-based system no longer have the freedom to do what they think is best for their patients
How the American Heart Association sold its soul to Big Oil in 1948
The undisclosed conflict of interest between the vegetable oil industry and organized medicine
How vegetable oils disrupt cellular energy metabolism leading to oxidative stress, toxicity, disease, and accelerated aging
Why vegetable oils labeled “Organic” are not necessarily better than non-organic
Which oils are most damaging and what to use instead
And much more…

Govinda Tidball: Health Sovereignty, Medical Privacy & Web5 Technology Jul 04, 2024

What do you think of censorship?

It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn.

We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard?

And who exactly decides what's true and what's not?

After I was censored and shadowbanned by multiple platforms during the pandemic, a wise friend reminded me that “the closer you are to the truth, the more likely you are to be censored.”

When incentives are upside down, big tech and the government don't censor lies, they censor the truth… and attack the reputation and livelihoods of those who dare speak it.

So if we’re responsible for every word we say online, Big Tech should be held legally accountable for every word they’ve ever censored. Especially when it’s clear that they have been intentionally suppressing honest conversations and critical, true, and timely information that could save lives.

The downfalls of our current system are becoming obvious to even those with the most stubborn case of Stockholm Syndrome.

So who will hold the big tech censors, medical tyrants, half-alive politicians, and pot-bellied, turtlenecked billionaires accountable?

And how can we take back responsibility for our own health, well-being and survival?

The truth is that it’s on us to build parallel systems as the current medical-industrial complex based on profit, exploitation and upside-down incentives falls apart.

There are many reasons to be optimistic for the future. Our guest this week is a visionary building solutions to help reclaim our digital lives from the grip of Big Tech, prioritizing sovereignty, privacy, and freedom for individuals.

Today we’re here with Govinda Tidball, a former United Nations Senior Advisor with the World Food Programme and Director of the Ministry of Health in America, an organization committed to re-establishing individual health sovereignty. Govinda served as a team member of the Disrupt Hunger Global Challenge in Germany, he co-founded Sri Lanka’s national Emergency Medical Service and call center, and has been involved in global counter human trafficking efforts for over fifteen years.

A man of many talents, Govinda is also a former world-class athlete, television host, radio personality, public speaker, and was even involved in the fashion industry for a time.

In this episode, you'll discover:

Why America's medical system is an underperforming outlier with poor outcomes and low life expectancy despite astronomical costs
The promise of Web5 technology, which incorporates decentralization and privacy to combat top-down control, censorship and weaponized algorithms
How to incentivize actual health, rather than the current system of running bodies through the medical system for profit
Simple steps to plan ahead for economic and environmental disasters
How to take back responsibility for our own health and well-being, instead of blindly following authority figures
And much more…

Matthew Lysiak: How Money Printing Destroys Our Health and Enables Endless War Jun 20, 2024

Does it feel like a dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore?

At first, inflation feels good for some of us.

Homeowners see their houses rapidly increase in nominal price, the stock market appears to rise, even used cars and trucks sitting in the driveway growing older somehow appear to become more valuable.

But when you fill up your cart at the grocery store, pay for skyrocketing insurance and tax bills, and account for rapid and permanent increases in housing, energy and all the other costs of living, you start to feel the sting of runaway inflation.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve, in the past three years groceries are up 20% across the board, gas is up 45%, Energy is up 38% and credit card debt is up 45%.

This would all be well and good if our salaries doubled overnight.

Has yours?

Debasement of our currency has eroded our standard of living, degraded nutrients in our food supply, and left us poorer and sicker than any time in recent history.

Fiat inflation is a hidden tax lobbied without your consent, eroding the spending power of every dollar you've ever earned.

In a debt-based fiat system, saving is a losing strategy. Increasingly, we're incentivized to spend immediately, not save. Corporations are incentivized to borrow, not earn.

With cheaper access to massive low interest debt, the ruling class is able to gleefully stripmine any remaining wealth from the middle and lower classes.

Since 1900, our dollar has lost nearly 99% of its spending power.

This is not an accident.

In 1900, a single dollar could buy a pair of patent leather shoes, a woman's house dress or even be saved with confidence. The average American could afford to eat 175 pounds of meat a year, mostly beef, as well as plenty of eggs, bacon and sausage.

Collectively, our heart health was also far better.

By 1972, we ate 104 pounds of red meat a year, and as of 2019, our consumption was cut in half to just 56 pounds.

Since then, obesity and disease has become widespread in adults and children alike as our quality of life has deteriorated.

Using propaganda from fraudulent studies, monetary distortions and backward subsidies, the collusion of government, industry and special interests has intentionally shifted diets away from healthful whole foods and nutrient dense meats to industrial seed oils, GMO grains, and fake meats.

Doritos, Lucky Charms and plant-based fake meats don't increase in price nearly as quickly as real food like beef and veggies. For corporations, selling highly processed industrial products is much more profitable than selling meat.

As our guest this week quips, “You can print Doritos like you can print fiat dollars.”

Real food, though, has become cost prohibitive for many of us, so we eat processed industrial junk instead.

This hurts people, especially kids.

Thanks to government manipulation of food prices and top-down dietary recommendations, our mass consumption of ultra processed foods understates the rate of inflation in our food system and makes us sicker, allowing Big Food and Big Pharma to profit on both sides.

As it turns out, feeding people poison and managing their sickness is big business.

But this story goes far deeper than just Big Food and Big Pharma.

Unchecked inflation has not only undermined real purchasing power and destroyed our health, but the fiat dollar has also enabled endless war profiteering without the consent of the people.

The most powerful weapon ever conceived by man is the fiat money printer.

Today we're here with Matthew Lysiak, a nationally recognized investigative journalist, crime reporter and award-winning author of the brilliant new book “Fiat Food” which unravels the shocking history of how inflation destroyed our health, our food system, and our quality of life.

In this episode, you will discover:

How a 100 year conspiracy and propaganda campaign by anti-meat religious groups, the medical industrial complex and politicians hijacked our food system for profit
Why observational studies on diet and health are misleading and are often weaponized for political and financial gain
How mainstream media and religious groups manipulate nutritional science to control public health
Why the government masks the true cost of inflation resulting from severing ties to the gold standard

Dr. Jack Kruse: Reclaim Your Health, Wealth & Freedom in the Face of Medical Tyranny Jun 06, 2024

In the face of creeping medical tyranny, a rapidly devaluing dollar, rampant tech addiction and an epidemic of chronic disease, what can we do to reclaim our health, wealth and freedom?

We're back today with our friend Dr. Jack Kruse, a respected neurosurgeon, author, mitochondriac and pioneer of medical freedom.

Dr. Kruse was one of the very first guests on this podcast all the way back in 2012 when we first launched, and this is probably our most expansive, spicy and eyebrow raising public conversation to date.

If you haven't already, I encourage you to go back and listen to Dr. Jack's prior episodes as these conversations are largely cumulative.

In this episode with Dr. Jack Kruse, we explore:

How mind control research led to modern surveillance capitalism
How light and electricity is used to control human and animal behavior
How technology and algorithms are weaponized for social engineering
The dangers of exposure to blue light and non-native electromagnetic frequencies
The startling risks of using virtual reality headsets, bluetooth earbuds, smartphones and brain implants
How to decentralize your health and your wealth
The sordid untold history of government corruption that enabled creeping medical tyranny, financial manipulation and forever wars
How medical freedom laws and constitutional amendments can shape the future of healthcare
And much more…

Anjan Katta: Creating A Computer That’s Actually Good for Us May 24, 2024

What if technology actually made our lives better instead of worse?

When you're scrolling non-stop on your phone, do you ever feel like you're at the casino?

If you've ever opened 200 tabs on your browser, stared blankly into a screen, or doomscrolled the day away, you know exactly what I'm talking about.

Modern computers and smartphones are evolutionarily mismatched to our biology.

Algorithms have been weaponized against us, using our attention as a currency for advertisers and top-down social agendas.

As a result, our use of modern phones, tablets, computers and social media have led to increasing depression, anxiety and social isolation.

So why would you create a new tablet computer that's heavier, thicker, lacks color and has no camera or microphone?

Because it's actually better for you.

We're here today with Anjan Katta, visionary founder and inventor of Daylight Computer, a groundbreaking hardware technology company that has created the world's very first blue light-free, high-refresh rate computer that respects our health, attention and freedom, challenging tech giants like Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft.

By prioritizing simplicity, honesty and ethics, the next generation of founders is creating devices that are less likely to be addictive or harmful.

In this episode, we explore:

Why modern blue-lit devices and screens are so addictive
How artificial blue light alters our production of dopamine and disrupts our circadian rhythm
Why surveillance resistant devices are the way of the future
The potential for innovative technology to enhance rather than detract from our wellbeing
And much more…

Dr. Casey Means: Solving for the Root Cause of the Metabolic Health Crisis May 10, 2024

Have you ever ignored your doctor's advice?

Most doctors enter the medical field with noble intentions, but are unaware of the systemic corruption and profit driven nature of the industry.

The hard economic truth is that nearly every institution that impacts your health makes more money by managing chronic disease than by curing patients.

The pharmaceutical industry has influenced medical research and treatment, leading to a focus on recurring revenue through chronic medication and intervention over prevention. As a result, many doctors feel trapped inside a broken system.

Modern healthcare isn't working because it focuses on treating symptoms, rather than addressing the root cause of metabolic dysfunction, which can be caused by three physiological processes, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress.

To explore these subjects and more, we're here today with Casey Means, MD, a Stanford trained physician, co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world's metabolic health crisis, and the bestselling author of the new book on metabolic health called “Good Energy.”

In this episode, we chat about:

How metabolic dysfunction affects various cell types in the body, leading to diverse symptoms and diseases
Why it's a problem that nutrition science is funded largely by food manufacturers, and healthcare research is funded by pharmaceutical companies
How the complexity and confusion surrounding health and wellness is intentional as it creates a need for external experts and products
Why the profit-driven healthcare system prioritizes managing chronic diseases over curing them leading to widespread metabolic dysfunction and premature mortality
How to optimize your metabolic function with simple and inexpensive lifestyle strategies
And much more…

Gary Taubes: Unintended Consequences of Weight Loss “Wonder” Drugs Apr 26, 2024

Did you know that doctors were treating diabetic patients with high-fat low-carb diets all the way back in the 1700s?

Though high-fat ketogenic diets were found to effectively treat diabetes for over a century, they were largely abandoned due to the rapid adoption of insulin in the 1920s, which was considered then to be a miracle cure.

Prioritizing drugs over lifestyle with insulin therapy, however, led to unexpected long term complications in patients, including damage to large and small blood vessels that results in heart disease, strokes, kidney damage, neuropathy, amputations, blindness, dementia, and a decrease in life expectancy.

Once a rare condition, diabetes is now so common that drugstores dedicate entire aisles to it. One in every $4 spent in American healthcare goes to diabetic patients, with over $300 billion in direct costs every year.

The Diabetes story is a metaphor of the rapid adoption of a wonder drug without knowing the long term consequences.

And in an age when Hollywood influencers in the media are touting the seemingly miraculous benefits of our latest weight loss wonder drugs GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, it's worth examining the long term risks and consequences of heavy handed pharmaceutical interventions.

Today, we're back with our friend Gary Taubes, an award-winning investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author of “Why We Get Fat” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” as well as his new book “Rethinking Diabetes.” Gary has dedicated his work to dismantling conventional nutritional theory with his research lectures and books. And at this point, Gary is better versed in diabetes literature than pretty much anyone alive.

In this episode, we’re chatting about:

Why lifestyle interventions that effectively treated diabetes for over a century were abandoned by the medical establishment
How flawed dietary guidelines in the 1970s recommended high-carb diets for heart health without evidence
Why the modern push for plant-based diets is based on bad science and misconceived journalism
Why the wide adoption of diabetes and weight loss wonder drugs like GLP-1 agonists should raise long term safety and side effect concerns
And much, much more…

Chaz Branham: How to Overcome Catastrophic Injury with The ELDOA Method Mar 29, 2024

Are your training methods preventing injury or causing them?

Why do some athletic pursuits lead to disordered eating, orthorexia, and body image issues?

As the years tick by, how can we move the goalposts to make sure we’re training for the right reasons?

One of my favorite things about hosting this podcast for the past 12 years is the chance to revisit with guests in different stages of their lives.

Long time listeners first met my friend Chaz a little more than a decade ago.

Chaz Branham is a venture capitalist, athlete and lifelong health nut, who you may remember back in 2013 entered in the Texas Shredder Classic, his first bodybuilding competition, on a dare—and did ridiculously well and even earned a spot on the podium by using a fat-based approach (quite unique at the time).

This dude is a life-long athlete and beast. Back then in his mid-twenties, Chaz was fresh off his first bodybuilding competition, where he achieved an astonishing 3.5% body fat naturally and earned his place on the podium. Now in his late 30’s, it’s fascinating to examine how our lives and goals have changed.

On this episode with Chaz, you’ll discover:

How Chaz navigated body image issues and disordered eating patterns following a successful bodybuilding competition
How to adjust your training and goals in the face of serious injury
Why some ultra-marathoners show no signs of degeneration or injury after a lifetime of running
What it’s like to experiment in the Wild West world of peptides
And much more…

Erwan Le Corre: Rewire Your Brain with Breathwork and Natural Movement Mar 15, 2024

Are you a nose-breather or a mouth-breather?

I sat down for lunch recently with a few old friends, and one of them asked: “Abel, what is the most underrated performance hack in health and fitness?”

I said without hesitation, “nasal breathing.”

When you learn to harness the power of the breath, you can rewire your entire nervous system, which has vast implications for your health, performance, and even your personality. The state of our nervous system directly impacts our quality of life and ability to enjoy life's challenges.

Today we’re here with one of the OG’s of alternative health and natural movement, the creator of MovNat and Breathholdwork, our friend Erwan Le Corre. Erwan is known as the "Godfather of Natural Movement" and is author of "The Practice of Natural Movement."

No slouch, Erwan holds a US National Record in static breath-holding with a 7 minutes 29 seconds performance. His personal best breath hold currently sits at 8 minutes 03 seconds!

This episode is both practical and deeply existential, with questions like: “Are we spiritual beings having a human experience, or humans having a spiritual experience?” I hope you dig this one.

On this episode, you’ll discover:

How Erwan developed and practiced the ability to hold his breath for 8 minutes (!!!)
Why hyperventilation leads to sympathetic dominance, which can be detrimental to well-being
Why developing physical capability is a moral responsibility
How to manage your mindset to become more resilient and thrive under stress
The physical, emotional, and mental consequences of breathwork
How to achieve a state of peace, trust, and love through regulating your nervous system.

Dr. Julia DiGangi: How to Transmute Pain and Trauma into Triumph Mar 01, 2024

Do you ever find yourself bottling up your emotions instead of speaking your mind?

We all experience horrible feelings like anxiety, stress, inadequacy, doubt, and confusion, and most of us spend our entire lives trying to run from them.

Dr. DiGangi completed her residency at Harvard Medical School, Boston University School of Medicine, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and has spent nearly two decades studying the connection between our brains and our behavior, working with leaders at The White House Press Office, global companies, international NGOs, and the US Special Forces.

On this episode, you’ll discover:

Why scrolling on our phones is so addictive
How to conquer doubt to become more confident
Why it’s important to speak your mind instead of bottling up negative emotions
Why our brains are obsessed with negative feedback
How to transmute your emotional pain into power

Bjørn Ekeberg: Near-Infrared and Red Light Therapy for Performance & Recovery Feb 02, 2024

You’ve likely heard the buzz around photobiomodulation, but can light exposure significantly improve sleep, recovery, and performance?

Well, there are more than 15,000 studies exploring photobiomodulation as a healing modality, but despite an abundance of research, the effects of light for our health has been largely overlooked in the past few decades.

Now we’re becoming more aware of how artificial light can disrupt our circadian rhythm, but certain wavelengths of infrared and near infrared light used therapeutically can also have profound positive effects on our performance and overall well being.

And as we’ll discuss today, the uses for near infrared light go beyond health, to explore deeper mysteries in our cosmos.

I’m honored to be here with Bjørn Ekeberg, author of the groundbreaking book "Metaphysical Experiments," and Co-founder and CEO of Recharge Health, the creators of the world's first targeted infrared therapy device—the FlexBeam.

This episode with Bjørn gets heady, you’re going to dig this one. We're chatting about:

How to use near infrared light for rapid healing, deep meditation and down regulating our nervous system before sleep
Why athletes are using red light for recovery
How to counter the negative effects of artificial blue light
Why cosmology and our understanding of the nature of the universe is in a crisis
How near infrared is used to peer deeper into the cosmos

Odds Bodkin: The Profound Creative and Cognitive Benefits of Storytelling Jan 26, 2024

How do ancient myths and legends shape our virtues?

What are the cognitive benefits of listening to and telling stories?

And what's the danger of outsourcing our creativity to artificial intelligence?

Today I’m honored to be here with the one and only Odds Bodkin, Master Storyteller in the Bardic Tradition, published author, educator, and award-winning recording artist who has been mesmerizing audiences since 1982.

I first saw Odds Bodkin perform more than 30 years ago in New Hampshire when I was about 7 or 8 years old, and I have never seen a better storyteller in my life. In fact, Odds was a big part of inspiring me to write and perform music as my first career. And to this day, Odds’ storytelling continues to captivate us on long road trips and we’ll often listen to his stories before bed, which is a wonderful way to spark vivid dreams, and far better for your brain than a Netflix binge.

Odds is a world-class performer, deep thinker, and incredible person. He even brought his 12-string-guitar along for a live demonstration of storytelling and musical techniques. You’re going to love this one.

On this show with the wonderful Odds Bodkin, were chatting about:

The creative and cognitive benefits of listening to and telling stories
The value of contemplating virtues in ancient myths for kids and adults
Why modern superhero movies usually completely miss the point
Why we shouldn't outsource our creative minds to non-human tools, like ChatGPT and AI

Does printing a cartoon character on the front of a box of cereal change the way that it tastes?

Marion “Nan” Bascom: Love & Wisdom Straight from My Grandmother Dec 22, 2023

How do you feed your family when you're as poor as a churchmouse?

To help celebrate the holidays, today we have a very special throwback episode for you with my grandmother Nan.

When I first started this show, almost 13 years ago, I bought a cheap little video camera and interviewed Nan at her house because she's pretty much my favorite person in the universe.

As many of you know, Nan's wisdom is ever present in our work, and especially my book, The Wild Diet. But who is Nan anyway?

Well, Marion Bascom, affectionately known as Nan was a nurse, a Second Lieutenant in the US Army, and a city girl who married my grandfather, Horace, a dairy farmer, and took on the challenges of tending to a dairy farm, organic garden and homestead while raising 7 children.

After living the good life for almost a century, Nan passed away a few years ago at the age of 97. And I'm very happy to be able to share some of her wisdom with you here today. We could all benefit from listening to a few words from the elders these days.

This interview is very dear to my heart, and I hope this show with Nan brings a smile to your face and warms your heart, too.

Get ready to smile. In this conversation with my grandmother, we're chatting about:

Incredible stories from raising 7 children on a farm with almost no money
The low cost of food when you grow it yourself
Family meals, gardening, canning and foraging for wild edibles behind the house
What Nan did when she thought one of the kids was on drugs
How to make homemade bread, ice cream, yogurt, jellies and pickles… she even made her own root beer
Nan’s secret to a good long life
And tons more…

Robb Wolf: Why Grazing Animals are Good for Us (and the Planet, Too) Sep 29, 2023

Have you ever heard that dramatically under-eating or chronically starving yourself will lead to increased longevity?

I've seen multiple media reports claiming that undereating by 20% or 30% of your daily caloric needs will add years to your lifespan.

Thankfully, it's not true. In fact, starving yourself of food, especially protein, could actually reduce your lifespan.

So what are the lifestyle practices that actually drive longevity?

To help separate fact from fiction, I'm thrilled that returning to the show today is our good buddy Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, powerlifting champion, and now a 2x New York Times best-selling author, co-host of Healthy Rebellion Radio, and the co-founder of DrinkLMNT Electrolytes.

In this interview with Robb, we're chatting about:

Why fasting too much may negatively impact performance and longevity
Why cows and pasture-raised animals are good for us (and the planet)
What happened when Google's algorithm skewed search results and put independent health authors like Robb and me on the naughty list
How our free speech and First Amendment rights were sacrificed when Big Tech invested in Biotech
Why decentralization and Web 3.0 will save the internet
And tons more…

We're chatting about:

How to utilize music functionally to achieve different brain states and boost mood

Dr. Sarah Ballantyne: Dietary Diversity & How To Make Vegetables Taste Great Jul 07, 2023

Do you buy the carnivore theory that plants are trying to kill us and we should avoid eating all plant matter?

What about the vegetarian argument that we should never ever eat meat?

If you take anything away from this show, make it this: always take extremism, hysteria and dogmatism with a grain of salt.

As the blogosphere and personalized RSS feeds have been replaced by superficial social media channels in an algorithmic race to the bottom, the modern internet, it seems, is rapidly devolving into a cesspool that rewards extremism, gimmickry and one-way thinking. But the truth is much more complicated, subtle and nuanced.

So to help us sift through the dogma and fads with a scientific approach, I'm happy to say that returning to the show today is the award-winning public speaker, New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.

We're talking about:

Why many popular diets are actually increasing nutrient deficiencies
Secrets to making vegetables taste great so you want to eat more
Why eating a variety of vegetables and fruits could make you feel happier
The importance of dietary diversity and eating the rainbow
How to save money on a nutrient-dense diet
Surprising findings about the nutrients in canned and frozen foods
And a whole lot more…

Dr. Izabella Wentz: Wired and Tired? Here’s How to Heal Your Adrenals Apr 28, 2023

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack?

When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own.

And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart.

If you're looking for life-long health and quality of life, a supportive approach that identifies and treats the root cause and shifts your body into a healing state is essential.

So I'm pleased that joining us on the show today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, a New York Times bestselling author and integrative pharmacist, dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions.

On this show with Dr. Izabella Wentz, we're talking about:

How to restore balance in the body (especially for folks with Hashimoto's thyroid issues or auto-immune issues)
How to adjust your diet to reduce inflammation
Tips on optimizing your hormones
The best exercises when you're wired and tired
Why you should be filtering your water (this one is so important and so easy to overlook as well)
How to use adaptogens to balance the stress response
And a whole lot more…

Matthew James Bailey: How Artificial Intelligence Can Benefit the Human Species Apr 15, 2023

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience.

So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics?

What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future?

And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity?

AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real.

But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future.

So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0.

This show with Matthew is a doozy. We're chatting about:

How artificial intelligence can be used to benefit the human species, both individually and globally
Why we should never outsource our sovereignty to a machine
Why new fangled brain implants could result in brain shrinkage, loss of cognitive ability, and the deletion of biology
How AI can help protect us from deep fakes and untruths (and the importance of authenticating our sources)
Why it's important that we define the values, skills and knowledge we want to carry forward for future generations (as well as what we want to leave behind)
Ways AI can work as a personal guardian and digital assistant to help us achieve new levels of wellbeing in the future
How to use AI and technology as a tool to increase our creative capacity
And tons more…

I'm honored that joining me on the show today is Dr. Jeffrey Bland, a world-renowned Nutrition Medicine Expert, Clinical Biochemist, founder of Big Bold Health, and bestselling author often called the “Father of Functional Medicine.”

I think you're going to enjoy this one. We're talking about:

Anna Vocino: Why Food Labels Lie and How to Say “No” to Robots Mar 03, 2023

You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit?

Even if you read food labels like a hawk, sneaky appetite-stimulating ingredients can be lurking in spices, sauces and other foods without ever being included on the label.

In fact, there are a number of ingredients food manufacturers aren't required to disclose that might jeopardize your ability to moderate food intake.

So if you've ever found yourself mindlessly shoveling evermore food into your mouth without satisfying your hunger, propelling you into a vicious cycle of overeating, crashing and feeling wobbly for the rest of the day, this is the show for you.

After teaching people how to make delicious food from scratch for many years, today's guest is starting a food revolution with her real food sauce and spice company, and she’s here to share unique insights into what exactly food manufacturers are hiding in widely available store-bought foods.

Returning to the show is the wonderful and talented Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, voice-over talent, stand-up comic and co-host of the Fitness Confidential podcast with our friend, Vinnie Tortorich. Anna has voiced thousands of commercials, cartoons, movies, promos, radio stations, and video games, which is her super cool day job to support her passion of food blogging and cookbook authoring.

In this conversation with Anna Vocino, we're chatting about:

The surprising truth about what's NOT listed on ingredient labels
Why the simplicity of “No Sugars, No Grains” works out so well for so many people
Why we should buy from our local farmers as much as possible
What continuous glucose monitoring experiments revealed about fried dry starches vs boiled starches
Anna's homemade Magic Bullion recipe for a delicious, clean flavor-starter
How to say “no” when robots try to take our jobs away (it's already happening)

Justin Frandson: Surprising Ways Artificial EMFs Impact Our Health (and What To Do About It) Dec 09, 2022

Thanks so much for joining us on Fat-Burning Man where we talk about how to avoid becoming The Borg.

Have you ever measured the dirty electricity and electromagnetic pollution emanating from your smart devices at all times?

You don’t need me to tell you that modern humans are tethered to technology to an astonishing degree. But for unspecified reasons, electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, and the many health issues that they create are too often hidden from the conversation.

Do you keep your phone in your pocket or use your laptop on your lap?

We are the first humans ever to microwave our nether regions on a daily basis. That is no bueno.

So what effects do EMFs really have on our bodies?

The answer will raise a few eyebrows. And we have the perfect guest for you today.

We’re here with Justin Frandson, an author and Athleticism Performance Coach who has worked with amateur and professional athletes for over two decades. After watching his athletes’ health break down, Justin began to test clients in their homes for dirty technology and now works to help reduce EMF pollution for optimal health.

If you use a phone, have a WiFi router in your house, or any smart devices whatsoever, you’ll want to listen to this show. We’re talking about:

Surprising ways artificial EMFs impact our health and what to do about it
Tips for minimizing dirty electricity in your home
Invisible stressors contributing to low testosterone and infertility
The dangers of high tech green energy
Why you should never put your laptop on your lap
Easy ways to save cell phone battery and avoid surveillance marketing at the same time
And tons more…

Over the past few years, the internet has been hijacked by cowardly, unelected overlords who shadowban, censor and silence us in a sad attempt to dumb us down and keep us in the dark.

Tammy Brill: Homemade Yogurt vs Cafeteria Yogurt (Under the Microscope) Nov 11, 2022

How do store-bought fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, you might ask, match up against the kind you can make at home?

Well, most of the yogurts and "fermented foods" you find in the grocery store are unfortunately sorely lacking in the live nutrients department.

But when you eat the real thing, a food that's been fermented the right way for the right amount of time, you can tell that it's alive. It's burbling and fizzing, and when you eat it you can feel that it's actually doing something for you.

There's a magic as well as a host of health benefits to the ancient low-cost methods of fermenting our foods.

So, what is the difference between homemade and store-bought? Well, it gets a little bit into the weeds. But thankfully, today we're here with a specialist.

Joining us on the show is our dear friend, the wonderful and talented Tammy Brill, a noted scientist and educator in the field of gut health and fermented foods. After nearly 30 years of teaching as a microbiology instructor and university lab supervisor for biology and chemistry labs, Tammy shifted gears to become a health coach and master fermenter.

Tammy is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and an entrepreneur who started Fermented Delights, bringing homemade fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kvass, and more to farmers markets all around Pennsylvania.

On this show with Tammy Brill, we are chatting about:

What happened when Tammy had her microbiology class look at homemade yogurt and cafeteria yogurt under the microscope
Tips about longevity for your pets (coming from someone who has a 23-year-old cat and two 13-year-old dogs)
A healthy food swap when you're stressed and want something crunchy
Beginner-friendly fermented foods
The gut-brain connection
And much more…

You can find Tammy Brill on her website FermentedDelightsAndMore.com. Be sure to check the "Where To Buy" page for details on where you can find an assortment of her homemade fermented foods.

Dr. Ian Billinghurst: Strange Similarities Between Human Health & the Health of Our Pets Oct 28, 2022

Have you ever seen a dog that's a spitting image of its owner?

The resemblance can be hilariously uncanny, but beyond similarities in affectation, gait and overall goofiness, we find time and time again that the health of our pets is often reflective of the health of their caretakers.

Having dogs or pets around has been an integral part of the human experience for ages. But do you know what the biologically appropriate diet really is for your furry friend?

If you've been following Fat-Burning Man for a while, you may have come across a post or two about my dog, Bailey the Labrador Retriever, who has miraculously survived many near death experiences, including getting hit by a car, stung by a scorpion, bit in the face by a rattler, falling off a small cliff, and several mild to major poisonings of various kinds. But like a cat, she continues to survive.

We’ve attributed her miraculous resistance to injury over the years to the way that she's been fed, an extremely nutrient-dense diet.

And today's guest was actually very influential in the way that we started feeding our dog over 10 years ago now.

We are here with Dr. Ian Billinghurst, a veterinary surgeon with over 40 years of experience. He's also a nutritionist, acupuncturist, agricultural scientist, lecturer, nutritional consultant, raw pet food producer, and author of multiple excellent books, including The BARF Diet.

Whether you have pets or not, I hope this show is very helpful to you. We're chatting about:

Strange similarities between human health and the health of our pets
Things doctors and veterinarians are paid not to know
What a biologically appropriate diet for our pets really looks like
Why you should give your dog a bone
How to avoid cancer in dogs and cats
And tons more…

Melissa Boloña: Why a Good Broth Can Raise the Dead Oct 14, 2022

When was the last time you had a proper bone broth soup?

You know, the slow-cooked kind that gets you all the old fashioned, real food vitamins, minerals and goodness out of big old bones and joints.

Well, thankfully, getting your broth on doesn't have to mean stinking up your kitchen or garage with boiling oxtails and chicken feet.

In the past few years, we found innovative ways to get the nutrition of bone broth into foods that can be a lot more convenient and fun to eat.

So today we're here with Melissa Boloña, an actress and entrepreneur who created Beauty & the Broth.

We're chatting about:

Why a good broth can raise the dead
How a good old-fashioned bone broth is different from modern cubes of concentrated salt and MSG
How to get the benefits of bone broth without spending days prepping and cooking
Why couch co-op video games can actually be good for relationships
And much more…

Does it surprise you to learn that 3 out of 4 of us humans don't exercise at all, at least not on a regular basis?

J. Stewart Dixon: How to Swap Social Media for Good Habits Apr 01, 2022

How can we find peace and happiness amongst the chaos of this world?

As social media and increasingly the entire internet embraces the worst kind of censorship, it really does seem like the algorithms are trying to excise a part of the complete human.

For instance, Instagram just deleted our 10-year-old account with 40,000 followers—something I'll be talking about a bit more in an upcoming podcast.

But these bogus copyright claims, the shadowbanning, censorship, and now just outright deleting our accounts, this is something that's been happening to the leaders of health and fitness for quite a few years now, to be honest.

And frankly, it's something that we're all going to have to rise above.

So what can we do? How can we find that inner peace and to keep our cool while these technocrats bury and censor us in a dangerously lazy attempt to control all of our minds?

Well, today, I'm pleased to say that we're here with J. Stewart Dixon, a modern day mindfulness teacher, musician, blogger and author of the #1 best-seller and award-winning book, “Spirituality For Badasses.”

If you're a badass and you like Zen, steak and Chuck Norris, this is the show for you. We're chatting about:

• How to be a spiritual badass and find your inner peace • Why you should consider a vacation from the sound of your own voice • How to swap social media for good habits • Getting started with meditation • How to do a quick body scan • And tons more…

Brock Armstrong: How to Harness the Power of Your Own Curiosity Mar 04, 2022

What kind of person do you want to be?

Do you want to be the person who always seems to be in great shape no matter what?

Do you want to shred on guitar and unleash a face-melting solo?

Do you want to be creative and just sketch or doodle, even if it's just for a few minutes a day?

Or do you want to be the person who wakes up and immediately jumps on their phone for a quick hit of drama-induced dopamine?

By asking ourselves a few key questions in getting to what actually fuels our passion, we can set up systems in our lives to become the people we aspire to be.

It takes discipline and a bit of time, but when you take the reins of your own life, magical things can happen.

So today, I'm thrilled to say that we're here with our friend, Brock Armstrong, a Cognitive Behavior Therapy Practitioner, writer, podcaster, Marathon and Triathlon Coach, and founder of Brock Armstrong Coaching, where he's used a functional approach to fitness and movement to personally coach hundreds of people across the finish line.

Brock has worked with many familiar faces in the health and fitness world, including Mark Sisson, Dave Asprey and Ben Greenfield, to name a few.

And fun little fact: Years ago, back around 2015, Brock was actually the audio and video editor for the Fat-Burning Man show (and he even introduced us to our current audio and video engineer, Ian).

Brock is very talented and a super nice dude, I think you're going to dig this show. We're chatting about:

• How to replace habits that aren't serving us anymore • Key insights from helping hundreds of people train for races • A simple method for finding what makes you tick • How to harness the power of your own curiosity and excitement • Why a song Brock wrote in 1994 as a goof still plays in hockey stadiums around Canada • And tons more…

Gin Stephens: How To Reduce Your Toxic Load (Without Going Bananas) Jan 07, 2022

How can we reduce our exposure to toxins without driving ourselves absolutely out of our minds?

Our workplaces, homes and foods are contaminated with a mind-numbing mix of chemical toxins. And by default, there's a shocking lack of information available about what exactly is contained in the products we buy.

But instead of aiming for super sanitized perfection—which is totally impossible—it's better to learn how to reduce our toxic load by ridding our pantries and homes of the worst offenders.

And I'm pleased to say that joining us today is our friend, Gin Stephens, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of multiple books. Gin is also a retired teacher, wife, mother, and host of multiple top-ranked podcasts. Gin's intermittent fasting lifestyle shift back in 2014, led to her shedding over 80 pounds and then going on a success rampage with all that extra energy, so you're going to dig this one.

On this very special show with Gin Stephens, we're chatting about:

• How to reduce your toxic load without driving yourself bananas • What to do about food contact chemicals and cosmetics in particular • Why the precautionary principle actually matters in science • How and why intermittent fasting works so well • How to get family on board • And much more…

Lisa Easton: Daily Habits of Multi-Billionaires & How Finances Affect Our Health Oct 22, 2021

How do our finances affect our physical and mental health?

Anyone who's ever been in debt knows the toll it takes on our sleep, level of stress and quality of life.

And according to a recent report from CNBC, the average American is nearly $100,000 in debt right now.

So how can we get back above water?

If you're $100,000 in debt, that number is so high that it can be difficult to kind of chop down and make it achievable to pay it off. But if you're willing to really plan out your finances, change your mindset about how cash flow and investments look and work in your own life, then you can actually make some progress.

No matter where you are with your finances right now, there's a way to make it better.

And I’m pleased to say that joining us today is Lisa Easton, an entrepreneur, educator, and mother of 4. After 15+ years of working with multi-billionaires and managing projects for some of the most influential people in the world, Lisa started Millionaire Morning Mamas and 100K Activation Accelerator to teach people how to build a powerful morning routine and reprogram their subconscious mind to attract life changing abundance and master their financial outcomes.

I hope you enjoy this show. We're chatting about…

How finances, and debt in particular, affect our health
The non-negotiable daily habits of multi-billionaires
How to pay off old debt and get off the hamster wheel
Benefits of setting and celebrating milestones
Attracting abundance by working on your mindset
Tips on reprogramming your subconscious
And even some bonus singing tips, and much, much more…

Dr. Tara Scott: How To Build Resilience In A Pressure Cooker Society Oct 08, 2021

How can we build resilience in a pressure cooker society?

And equally important, when we're faced with disaster and uncertainty, how can we be better prepared for what's coming next?

Even in the best of circumstances, the curveballs in life catch up with you.

In my own personal case, some of you may remember that I lost everything in an apartment fire a little more than a decade ago, and then more recently fought back from almost dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. And I can tell you from experience that the way you get through this tough stuff in life is by focusing on your internal world, focusing on your small daily habits that add up to health and vitality and well-being over time.

That's the only way I’ve got through this stuff, and I know a lot of you out there have done the same. So today we're going to be focusing on those little non-negotiable habits that you can set up to make sure that you're improving no matter the state of the world around you, which is debatable right now.

So I'm happy to say that joining me on the show today is Dr. Tara Scott, a functional and integrative medicine doctor and hormone specialist with over 25 years of experience and 3 board certifications in OB/GYN.

After suffering from infertility and curing her own endometriosis, Dr. Scott now helps others achieve that same balance.

Onto the show. I hope you enjoy. We’re talking about…

• How to build resilience in a pressure cooker society • Tips on identifying and addressing underlying hormone imbalances and fertility issues • How health and eating choices are actually survival strategies • Fueling for long runs, and why Dr. Scott is running a half marathon in every state • The importance of non-negotiable daily habits • And tons more...

La'Tasha Givens: How She Shed 45 Pounds in 14 Weeks Sep 22, 2021

How can we separate truth from propaganda?

It surprises many to learn that in the United States, propaganda is perfectly legal.

It's not so subtle though if you look closely, and the endless drum beat of talking heads repeating the same sound bites over and over doesn't inform us or get us any closer to the truth.

Simply doing what we're told won't lead to long-term health or well-being—just look at the food pyramid—we have to take on that responsibility ourselves.

That's why it's more important than ever to do your homework and think for yourself, especially when your health is concerned.

And I realize that thinking for yourself has become very controversial as of late, but it certainly shouldn't be.

In a time when we’re swamped with shameless corporate propaganda, I'm honored to be here with an incredible woman who takes journalistic integrity seriously.

Joining us on the show is our friend La'Tasha Givens, a multiple Emmy Award-winning reporter, anchor and radio show host who has more than a decade of experience in news.

You may also remember La’Tasha from back in 2016 when we starred together on that ABC TV show, My Diet Is Better Than Yours. While filming for the show, La'Tasha dropped an impressive 45 pounds and 18.5% of her total body weight in just 14 weeks.

You're going to dig this one, we're talking about...

• What it's like to drop 45 pounds on ABC television in front of the whole world • Getting results with different approaches to fat loss—there are different ways of getting there • Why the past few years have been really tough on journalists • Tips on time management from a busy mom and a reporter • All-time favorite cheeses • And much more...

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon: The Problems with Fake Meat (and What to Eat Instead) Sep 10, 2021

What's with all the protein shaming lately?

When a staggering 75% to 80% of us are overweight and facing metabolic dysfunction, is eating less meat on Mondays really going to save us?

If you really want to know who is responsible for the destruction of our environment and our collective health, I'm happy to say it's definitely not our cow friends peacefully burping on pasture.

Eliminating a high-quality protein source like meat often backfires as meat substitutes and other processed vegan and vegetarian foods pollute our bodies and the planet with petrochemicals and low quality carbs shipped back and forth across the world.

So if you're looking to get rid of stubborn fat, like the majority of people, animal protein is often one of the most powerful tools to help you reach and maintain a healthy body composition for a lifetime.

And I'm pleased to say that joining us on the show today is Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a functional medicine physician, speaker, founder of the Institute of Muscle-Centric Medicine, and creator of the The Lyon Protocol.

Dr. Lyon received her doctorate in osteopathic medicine from the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine and is board-certified in family medicine. In her private practice, she leverages evidence-based medicine and cutting-edge science to restore metabolism, balance hormones, and optimize body composition with the end goal of helping others discover lifelong vitality.

I hope you enjoy this one. We're chatting about…

How much protein we should be eating
Why focusing on protein first will help make everything easier
Lifespan versus quality of life
Time-tested secrets to aging gracefully
The problems with fake meat
And tons more...

Tony Horton: How to Make Exercise FUN Again Aug 27, 2021

What's the secret to aging gracefully?

When it comes to training, you don't need to punish yourself to achieve incredible results.

In fact, life-long fitness junkies often see physical movement not as punishment, but as a creative act.

Breaking a sweat sets off a hormonal cascade that increases mental alertness, boosts your energy and leads to long-term gains in quality of life. But none of this matters unless you actually do it. The key is making physical activity fun.

So today, I am honored to be here with the one and only Tony Horton, a world class fitness and lifestyle expert, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and of course, the creator of the P90X fitness series.

If you've struggled to set up an enjoyable and effective workout routine, this show is for you.

Tony is legit hilarious. We had a great time recording this episode, and I hope you enjoy listening. We’re chatting about…

The secret to aging gracefully
How to treat exercise as a creative outlet
Why health is a critical survival skill
Tips on building your own backyard gym or ninja course
The importance of consistency and intensity
The effects of physical fitness on the mind
And tons more...

Dr. Will Cole: The Critical Difference Between Intermittent Fasting & Calorie Restriction Aug 13, 2021

If you’ve been feeling a little stressed recently, you're definitely not alone.

The good news is that we can recalibrate our stress levels with simple tweaks to our lifestyle.

So if you want to know how to clean up your daily habits and adapt in trying times, this is the show for you.

Joining us today is Dr. Will Cole, a functional medicine doctor, New York Times best-selling author and host of The Art of Being Well podcast.

How many hours have you logged in front of a camera in the past year?

Zoom fatigue is a real thing, and the expectation to constantly be available for virtual webcam meetings definitely takes its toll on all of us.

Robb Wolf: Are Cows Really Killing the Planet? (Hint: No, They’re Not) May 28, 2021

Mainstream media loves to smear red meat as unhealthy and disastrous for the environment.

But are cow farts really killing the planet or is that just a ploy to get you to buy fake meat products?

Would the fields behind my childhood home in New Hampshire, for example, really be better off without our happy backyard cows?

Would the ranches and wildlife reserves here in Colorado, replete with buffalo, elk, yak, pronghorn, cattle and mule deer, really be more environmentally-friendly if we simply got rid of all these dirty, burping, polluting animals?

The answer isn't quite as simple as the media mavens, climate alarmists and billionaires would lead you to believe.

In an age of sprawling chemical-laden monocrops and fake meat, science is being confounded and abused.

Especially with supply chains catastrophically breaking down across the world, shouldn't we be reducing external chemical inputs and focus instead on becoming more self-reliant?

When we treat nature with respect, both animals and plants can heal the soil and the land as part of a thriving symbiotic ecosystem.

And to help separate truth from propaganda, today we're back with our friend, the one and only Robb Wolf.

Robb is a former research biochemist, powerlifting champion, New York Times best-selling author of several titles, including “The Paleo Solution,” “Wired To Eat,” and his newest book co-authored with Diana Rogers is called “Sacred Cow.”

Robb has functioned as a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism, as a consultant for the Naval Special Warfare Resiliency Program, and serves on the board of directors for a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability.

You're going to dig this show, we're chatting about:

Why the sacred cow is a gift from Mother Nature
The nutritional quality of pasture-raised meat vs fake meat
The importance of soil biodiversity
Why we should reduce synthetic chemical-based farming and get back in touch with natural cycles
How food manufacturers are capitalizing on our good intentions to peddle their ultra processed artificial products
The importance of protein as a macronutrient
And tons more...

Have you ever tried measuring your blood glucose?

There's never been a better time to use cutting edge technology to quantify and optimize your health.

Doug Bopst: How to Use Adversity to Your Advantage Mar 12, 2021

What's the difference between being in lockdown and being in jail? The answer from today's guest will surprise you.

Today I'm grateful to be here with my new friend, Doug Bopst. Doug is a personal trainer, author of 3 books, and host of The Adversity Advantage podcast.

Doug has a unique perspective as someone who actually spent time in jail—a former convicted felon and drug addict, Doug made the best of his time in jail to discover fitness and reinvent himself.

When you're looking around in these challenging circumstances the past year or so, a lot of people are getting weaker or they're getting broken, they're letting things get to them. And then a small minority of folks are actually getting stronger because of this, they're getting into dojo mode and getting disciplined.

Doug has a lot of interesting perspectives on how we can get out to the other side of all these challenging times even stronger than we would have otherwise been.

Doug's story was featured in a documentary film called From Felony to Fitness to Free and as of this year, he's now 12 years sober. So congratulations to Doug!

You're going to dig this show. We're chatting about:

The surprising difference between being in jail and being under lockdown

Loretta Breuning: How to Break Bad Habits with Brain Science Feb 12, 2021

Do you have any bad habits? Why is it that sometimes we find ourselves repeating undesirable behaviors despite our best attempts to change?

Well, in an age when our communication has been degraded to typing with our thumbs and screaming into silly smart devices, human relationships it seems, are suddenly in jeopardy.

So how can we turn down our anxiety, reprogram our brains and work with our brain chemistry to create the positive changes we actually want in our lives?

If you've ever been derailed by your inner monkey or dealt with existential angst, this show is for you.

Returning to the podcast today is one of my favorite people to talk to, Loretta Breuning, PhD. She's a professor, best-selling author, host of the Happy Brain Podcast and founder of The Inner Mammal Institute.

In today's show, Dr. Breuning is sharing critical insight into how we can rewire our brains and boost serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin levels. We're talking about…

How to work WITH your happy brain chemicals (instead of against them)
What to do about existential angst—all the rage these days.
Simple tricks to retrain your brain to create new habits or skills
How to avoid reverting to bonds that were built by institutions
Making peace with your mammal brain with small daily contributions
And tons, tons more...

Dr. Alan Christianson: How to Optimize Thyroid Function & Avoid Excess Iodine Jan 29, 2021

How's your thyroid doing?

If you're low on energy, gaining weight or your metabolism is off, it's time to take a look at that little gland at the front of your neck.

A century ago, severe iodine deficiency was widespread across the world, but now, we have the opposite problem with 52 nations at risk for thyroid disease due to an extreme excess of iodine.

As some of you know, the health of my own thyroid was struggling in my early 20s and hypothyroidism actually runs in my family.

Now, thyroid problems are rapidly increasing in frequency, but the good news is we're starting to understand why.

Today, I'm thrilled to be back again with my good friend, Dr. Alan Christianson, a Board Certified Naturopathic Endocrinologist who specializes in thyroid care, and a New York Times bestselling author whose recent titles include The Thyroid Reset Diet and The Metabolism Reset Diet.

Dr. Christianson is also a father, an avid outdoorsman and in fact a surprisingly talented off-road unicyclist.

And on today’s show we're talking about...

Hidden sources of iodine that could drive your levels dangerously high
What ideal levels of dietary iodine should look like
Why eating tons of seaweed snacks is probably not a good idea
Which salts could compromise thyroid health and which choices are best
And much, much more...
