#162 - The Sapien Diet: Adopting Ancestral Principles, Avoiding Food Lies, & Modern Nutrition Science · Brian Sanders (@Peak Human) Jun 17, 2020

Show notes

"That's how [Game Changers] made a whole film, they cherry-picked their data...I'd love to make a film that couldn't be debunked. That's my whole goal."

Nutrient density, millions of years of human evolution, and modern nutrition science is the framework for the "Sapien Diet". Not to be mistaken as a trendy "one size fits all" diet, but a set of guidelines and principles Brian Sanders believes how the modern human should eat.

Brian Sanders, who is the host of the Peak Human Podcast & filmmaker behind the upcoming Food Lies Film, has collated a variety of perspectives on optimal nutrition and performance throughout his health journey and research. Although Brian is of the mind that nutrition lies on a spectrum and should be personalized for an individual, his Sapien Diet framework largely revolves around eating a single constant: Animal-based foods, while avoiding the obvious: Highly-processed and refined foods.

The recent demonization of meat is somewhat of an oddity, given that it has historically been directly tied to the advance of human evolution. With plant-based diets on the rise, the opposite camp of the "diet wars" (carnivores) have been resistant to the mainstream popularization of plant-based nutrition.

Who is right? Who is wrong?

Geoffrey Woo & Brian Sanders have an informative discussion on the spectrum of nutrition, the dangers of falling too deep into microscopic research, and why the current science & historical nature of animal-based nutrition trumps a plant-based diet.

#161 - The Man Behind #LancetGate: A Breaking Science Scandal with Global Ramifications · James Todaro, MD Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

13 days after publishing a paper on hydroxychloroquine (a potential drug for coronavirus treatment), The Lancet retracted the study due to faulty data.

In the midst of a global pandemic, the study (that have since been retracted) was used as a basis for the guidelines set by the WHO, the CDC, elected officials, and...well, let's hear how deep this rabbit hole leads us.

Our guest today, James Todaro, MD, played a significant role in this multi-layered scandal: By revealing the red flags of a study published by one of the world's oldest and best-known medical journals, causing The Lancet to retract it in just 13 days.

Buckle up and enjoy this episode of the H.V.M.N. Podcast.

#160 - Modern Leadership: We Need Communication, Transparency, and Empathy...NOW Jun 16, 2020

Show notes

Less than half a year into 2020, we've experienced global, tectonic shifts that are still being felt now. It's time for modern leadership.

Common attributes of leadership, such as assertiveness and charisma, are simply no longer enough in the current climate. As society becomes more connected and multi-faceted, our leaders must evolve as well.

Communication, transparency, and empathy. Geoffrey Woo, founder of H.V.M.N., strongly believes these are traits essential for effective leadership. A leader that listens, a leader that unites. This is an element that has largely been lacking during these times of crises...this is what must be fixed.

The H.V.M.N. Podcast will be donating all of the ad revenue we receive during the month of June to Talent x Opportunity (TxO) fund, a fund designed to invest in underrepresented and underserved founders. We hope that the leaders of the next generation will build a healthy future for all of humanity.

#159 - Blood Glucose Regulation: A Guide to Glycemic Index, Continuous Glucose Monitoring, & Intermittent Fasting · Kara Collier, RDN May 28, 2020

Show notes

Kara Collier, the Director of Nutrition at Nutrisense, is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician who specializes in glucose control and metabolism.

Kara, drawn to the power of continuous glucose monitors (CGM's), has meticulously experimented with various foods and the impact they would have on her blood glucose levels. By having real-time data tracked over years on a spreadsheet, CGM's have been indispensable tool that has helped (& continues to!) fine-tune her diet.

With her previous experience working in traditional hospital institutions and becoming fed up with the shortcomings of standard care (recalling regular instances where metabolically-impaired patients were given soda & highly processed foods), Kara knew that truly personalized nutrition was the future - and she is working tirelessly to spread the message.

For example, the effects of intermittent fasting between men and women seem to differ in substantial ways that are recently coming into light. Geoff & Kara dive into the nuances of that much-requested topic, low-carb and ketogenic diets, quality of food, and more in this podcast episode!

#158 - Lance Armstrong Gets Real: Le Tour Training, Quarantine Living, & Evolving Cycling May 21, 2020

Show notes

With no stone left unturned from the past, Lance Armstrong pulls back the curtain on his cycling career, why he's thriving under quarantine (& decided to ditch alcohol), and how he's focusing on the path forward.

Averaging 400-500 watts over a 30-minute interval (something a typical 25-year-old could do for only 30 seconds) Lance had nearly superhuman-level abilities.

"It really wasn't [the doping]. At this point, I'm not here to fool or lie to anybody...but it wasn't. That was step 11 in a 10 step process. We put a lot of work into the team."

In this podcast interview, Geoff Woo and Lance discuss the current coronavirus epidemic, beating cancer, war stories from the Le Tour days, preserving a competitive spirit, and how the global sport of cycling should evolve.

Could Exercise Decrease Immune System Function & Increase Infection Risk? · Research Roundup May 17, 2020

Show notes

Multiple studies have shown that moderate exercise is beneficial for the immune system, especially for the elderly and those with chronic diseases. This is a fairly common and widely-accepted understanding.

However, there is another school of thought warning that too much exercise can actually decrease immune system function and increase risk of infections.

In a time where many of us are looking to boost our immune system, could too much (i.e. strenuous) exercise actually be doing more harm than good?

Dr. Latt Mansor (Research Lead at H.V.M.N.) dives into a recent paper that explores this very question, in which two groups of scientists debate the impact of exercise has on immunity.

#157 - Coronavirus Crisis Finally Reveals Metabolic Dysfunction as the True Pandemic? · Dr. Paul Saladino May 12, 2020

Show notes

"Absolutely there are diets that can protect you against coronavirus. The health of an individual at a metabolic level is...everything."

Dr. Paul Saladino is the leading authority on the science and application of the carnivore diet. He has used this diet to reverse autoimmunity, chronic inflammation and mental health issues in hundreds of patients, many of whom had been told their conditions were untreatable.

Since the beginning of the global COVID-19 crisis, Dr. Saladino has been boldly voicing his opinions on how various countries implemented their lockdown policies and why the best, science-driven way to protect yourself begins with the root cause of so many diseases in the first place...

The state of your metabolic health.

According to this study (https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/met.2018.0105), only 12% of Americans are considered metabolically healthy. While there has not been formal random controlled trials published just yet, there is a strong case to be made with existing and emerging correlating data / science suggesting that the state of one's metabolic health is an essential factor when faced with the virus.

In this in-depth podcast interview, Geoff Woo & Dr. Paul Saladino discuss the timeline of the coronavirus, how skewed messaging is being pushed by the media, his evolved guidance for the carnivore diet and how insulin resistance is linked to immune system function, and even delve into some fascinating hypotheses that put the coronavirus' actual danger to human health into question.

#156 - Apolo Ohno (8x Olympic Medalist) Reveals His Mental Hacks for Success May 05, 2020

Show notes

Apolo Anton Ohno has a remarkable track record as an athlete, becoming the most decorated American Olympian at the Winter Olympics and inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame. Post-sport career (& post "Dancing With the Stars" fame, as we're sure some are aware), Apolo continues to blaze new paths for himself and dedicates much of his time empowering others to reach their own goals.

In this podcast interview, Apolo firmly states that he was at a factual, physiological disadvantage during his short track speed skating competitions when compared to his competitors.

So, how did Apolo come out so frequently on top? What was he doing differently? How did he win 8 Olympic medals?

As much as he was training his body for peak physical performance, he was also training his mind...if not even harder than his body.

Pushing his mental game to the absolute limit, sharpening it, and continuously channeling it (all the way from training to race day) was his secret weapon. His mind was the key to success.

The mental resilience and competitive edge he built up during his athletic career were never lost. Apolo, with unwavering discipline, continually adapts that performance mindset to support ongoing personal and professional growth. From following a cyclical keto diet to intermittent fasting, Apolo stays on top of both his mental and physical game.

#155 - Intermittent Fasting During Quarantine & Effects on Immune System - Should You Do It? May 01, 2020

Show notes

Could intermittent fasting or time restricted eating help you stay safe from the coronavirus? Is it a good idea to put the human body under metabolic "stress", when many are already faced with a particularly stressful time?

It's not a simple "Yes" or "No" answer.

In this podcast, Geoffrey Woo & Dr. Latt Mansor explore the existing scientific literature behind intermittent fasting and dive deep into a recently published study, which showed that healthy participants actually boosted their immune system through 30 days of consecutive fasting. Extrapolating data from both this study and others, they come to their own conclusions and offer their best guidance to how one should think about intermittent fasting during the COVID-19 crisis.

#154 - Hybrid Fitness: Balancing Strength & Cardio for a Healthy Life · Kris Gethin Apr 27, 2020

Show notes

Strength vs. Cardio. That's a topic that's been discussed and argued over within many fitness schools of thought.

Is one approach truly better than the other?

In this podcast interview, we get interesting insights into this age-old question from Kris Gethin, who has competed as a lifetime natural pro bodybuilder and placed second place in the Natural World Championships.

His mindset for training and nutrition has evolved throughout the years, as evident by his more recent involvement in Ironman races & ultra-marathons. Kris currently follows the DTP (Dramatic Transformation Principle) for building strength & muscle, which is high volume and very high intensity. As previously mentioned, Kris incorporates cardio for his health and longevity, completing Ironman races, Spartan courses, & ultra-marathons.

Geoff digs into Kris' multi-faceted approach to building muscle, extending healthspan, learning to have a balanced mindset, eating a healthy diet, and much more!
