**The Champion Trifecta**

**Circle 1 – Clear vision/specific measurable goal**

Write out the steps on how to get there

Deadline for each step

**Circle 2 – Discipline**

**“Discipline is doing what you’re supposed to do**
**when you’re supposed to do it,**
**whether you feel like it or not!”**

What do you have to give up to accomplish the goal

Accountability

**Circle 3 – Energy**

Health as on point as possible

Mindset

Vigor

**Energy** and a **Goal** without discipline will make end up working hard but never get anywhere(spinning your tires).

**The Champion Trifecta is when all three are in place and you will find success.**

Episode 83 – Plants v Animals Pt. 3 Mar 07, 2018

Show notes

Today Brian and Danny conclude their discussion that seeks to explore if a plant-based diet is superior to those that are animal based. Today’s focus is more to try to establish that compared to plant-based diets, you can be healthy on a meat-based diet. Due to a lack of published studies, we focus on only 3 studies that help to support this thesis. Let us know in the comments what you think about these studies and any additional info you might have to support or refute their content.

Show notes:

15:15 – Fascinating Facts:

Brian –

No one has ever been able to domesticate African elephants, only Indian elephants have been able to be domesticated for things like circuses
From 1890 – 1900, 20 tons of ivory was shipped from Siberia to London and all the ivory was sourced from woolly mammoths found in the Siberian tundra
The woolly mammoth had tusks that were nearly 16 feet long

Danny –

63 Earths can fit inside Uranus

Quick reminders:

The goal of this discussion is not to say that this person is wrong about their views or how they understood the studies they presented. We are just wanting to talk about them as objectively just to see what’s being said. We’re not trying to settle a dispute.
No personal ill will toward anyone with a differing view.
We are not arguing that a strictly animal-based diet is the best and most sustainable diet for everyone.

3 questions worth asking when reviewing these studies

Does this study contribute to the body of evidence for or against plant-based diets is improving relevant health markers and reduction in risk of chronic disease?
Does this study prove that an anima based diet would be less effective or deleterious in comparison to a plant-based diet?
What exactly should we take away from this study?

19:48 – Part 3 Plants V Animals

Not necessary full carnivore, but we are basing this on the assumption that meat is a significant portion of the diet
The goal is to establish that there is nothing wrong with a primarily meat-based diet, specifically as compared to a plant-based diet

Studies:

33:57 – August and Marie Krogh 1908

50:35 – Digestive microbiota and its influence on health: Facts and Myths

Brian – According to the National Safety Council, ingesting home chemicals is not the leading cause of poising among children. The top reason is eating household (deadly) plants.

6:20 – Intro to Plants vs Animals

The crux of the issue today is to talk about the claim that a vegetarian lifestyle of healthier than a meat-based diet.

Douglas Axe – molecular biologist
He has a hypothesis that says: Your common sense is just as important and just as powerful as all the science in the world because your common sense is going to dictate your day to day life. And it should. You should be paying attention to you.

Some confuse science with authority
