Dr. William Davis: Undoctored, Why Health Care Stinks & Playing Xbox on a Bicycle Jun 14, 2017

Show notes

Do you ever feel like the healthcare system is working against you?

How much do you pay for prescription meds? What about health insurance and doctor’s bills?

Even my health insurance provider is cancelling my insurance when they pulled out of Texas next month... so I’d better not get sick.

Health care is a weird scene at best, and a misnomer at worst. Another good excuse to eat your vegetables ladies and gentlemen.

But never fear, today's guest, mega-bestselling author and cardiologist, Dr. William Davis, is here to help us figure it all out.

If you’ve been listening to Fat-Burning Man since the beginning, Dr. Davis is no stranger to you. You may remember him from the mega-bestseller Wheat Belly, the last time he was on this show a few years ago. Listen up, the doc holds no punches in this one.

When’s the last time you doodled just for fun?

There are surprising benefits to getting your creative juices flowing, and today we’re here with returning guest, Dr. Srini Pillay, to dig into the inner workings of the mind and how to use tinkering to improve all areas of your life.

Dr. Srini Pillay graduated at the top of his class in medical school in South Africa and has been dazzling minds ever since.

I even hear he's writing a screenplay, maybe a musical, and dabbling in a bunch of other things.

His wonderful new book has perhaps the best title of all time, Tinker, Dabble, Doodle, Try. We're about to teach you how to upgrade your brain, health, and performance by having more fun.

How Tommie Whitaker Shed 100+ Pounds WITHOUT Exercise Apr 28, 2017

Show notes

It's strange but true: Tommie Whitaker has lost 108 pounds in just 13 months... without exercise. Instead, he's rocking out in the kitchen and fueling with real food from The Wild Diet.

When this Atascocita high school teacher watched our ABC TV Show in February of 2016, and he thought The Wild Diet "sounded pretty good." Bacon burgers, fresh produce, sweet potatoes, homemade pies, and hearty feasts in the evening.

After Tommie watched Kurt Morgan drop 87 pounds in 14 weeks with The Wild Diet on ABC, he was ready. Tommie, his wife and son doubled-down on the Wild lifestyle.

Now, just over a year later, he’s down 108 pounds and counting! He might just break the Wild weight loss record - he blew me away 70+ pounds ago!

Tommie is an inspiration, always eager to pay it forward and help others with their own transformation.

Dr. Terry Wahls: How to Defy Your Diagnosis and Reverse Autoimmune Disease Apr 13, 2017

Show notes

Recent research in epigenetics shows that eating the wrong food for you can turn disease-promoting genes on. The good news is that when you get on the right plan, many serious conditions can be reversed.

We’re here today with a remarkable woman and friend, Dr. Terry Wahls. She teaches others how to heal conditions commonly considered to be untreatable with cutting-edge science and a healthy dollop of good old common sense.

Dr. Terry Wahls is a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Clinical Researcher, and Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Iowa. Though she is widely respected as a leader at the forefront of functional medicine and health, what sets Dr. Wahls apart is her experience using nutrition and lifestyle interventions to treat progressive health problems, to heal her own multiple sclerosis, and later, that of others.

Within a year of beginning her Wahls Protocol, Dr. Wahls went from a zero gravity wheelchair to completing an 18-mile bike tour without drugs or surgery.

Robb Wolf: What’s Healthier, a Cookie or a Banana? (The Answer Will Surprise You) Mar 30, 2017

Show notes

“Betcha can’t eat just one!”

If you’ve ever been caught elbow-deep in a bag of Fritos, you’re not alone.

Why are we hungry all the time?

And why is it impossible to stop eating?

Because Big Food hires legions of brain scientists, chemists, and marketers getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to keep you addicted.

The good news is that you can use the same concepts - evolutionary biology, food chemistry and psychology—to stop yourself from falling into the potato chip trap (or donuts, or ice cream, or soda).

Matt Riemann: 3D Printed Burgers, Epigenetics & The Future of Health Mar 02, 2017

Show notes

It’s ironic. We’re overloaded with “health and fitness” technology, but our collective health is worse than ever. In a world replete with Fitbits, Apple watches, and other gimmicky gadgets, most of these self-trackers don’t do much to actually improve our behavior.

Today, you’ll learn why that’s about to change.

Matt Riemann is a social entrepreneur in personalized health. Like Fat-Burning Man, he’s harnessing cutting-edge technology to change the health trajectory of the human race. I dig it.

True story: the world of health supplements is an unmitigated disaster.

Scams, hucksters, and frauds are the norm in the supplement business.

My guest this week will teach you to spot the difference between the real thing and a well-marketed, pricey placebo in a bottle.

I met Jeff Chilton’s son Skye on a wilderness survival trip in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. Jeff’s family business creates high-quality, scientifically tested organic mushroom extracts. Today he’ll be talking about how medicinal mushrooms can improve your health and performance.

John Gray, PhD: How to Boost Testosterone & Keep Yourself out of the Dog House Feb 10, 2017

Show notes

Our guest this week is Dr. John Gray, author of the mega-bestseller Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus. He literally wrote the textbook for my wife Alyson’s communication class in college.

His new book, Beyond Mars and Venus, shows how women can get back in touch with their feminine side and actually boost a man's testosterone levels.

In today's episode of the show, John will tell us how we can bring passion back to our relationships by restoring our hormonal balance.
