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…

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…

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
• Why the public school system deprives kids of proper nutrition
• And much more…

Does intermittent fasting actually work?

As many of you know, I’ve been practicing various forms of fasting for nearly a decade now, but does it really work for everyone? Does it work for no one? Does it work for women, men, and anyone in between?

There's so much information, disinformation, misinformation and content overload when it comes to fasting, when it comes to eating, diet, nutrition. It can be tough to make sense of it all.

But we do have the perfect guest for you here today⁠—the wonderful Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner for 20+ years, entrepreneur, functional nutritionist, Tedx speaker, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, and the CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project.

On today's show, we're talking about…

• Intermittent fasting from a woman's perspective, as a practitioner and as someone who does it in her own daily practice
• Non-negotiable daily habits and intentionally setting up your environment to make success automatic
• 2 things Cynthia prioritizes every day to support energy levels and cognitive function
• The importance of protein
• Positive benefits of getting in 3 - 5 minutes of daily meditation
• Foods to prioritize when breaking your fast
• And tons more...

Should we be prohibited from asking questions?

If we lose the ability and right to speak, ask questions, to think for ourselves, to have sovereignty over our bodies and lives... we are on a precarious path indeed.

With more of us obese, overweight and diseased than ever before, it's the very governments and corporations silencing us and ordering us around that got us here in the first place.

As we're being told what to believe, many of us are being censored, shadowbanned, or even de-platformed - apparently just for thinking for ourselves.

How many times do governments, politicians and mega corporations have to exploit us before we get a clue?

If you look at history, you can see where this goes, and it's not pretty. So we have a spicy episode for you here today.

Returning to the show is our dear friend, Shawn Stevenson, speaker, host of the #1 ranked podcast The Model Health Show, and bestselling author of “Sleep Smarter” and the brand spanking new book “Eat Smarter”.

Shawn graduated from The University of Missouri–St. Louis with a background in biology and kinesiology, and founded the Advanced Integrative Health Alliance which provides wellness services to individuals and organizations worldwide.

You're going to like this one. Shawn definitely takes the gloves off a little bit. It’s a great conversation. I hope you dig it.

We're chatting about...

• Why it's worth it to have higher standards for what you're eating
• How subsidized foods are fattening America
• Why it's important that people don't skip over balance in the diet
• How to share love through home cooked meals
• Why we should prioritize prevention over medical intervention
• The importance of diversity in our gut microbiome
• And much more...

How do you make ends meet when you're as poor as church mice?

Today, we have a very special show for you.

When I first started this show about 10 years ago now, I bought a cheap video camera and I decided to go to my grandmother Nan's house and interview her… she's just about my favorite person in the universe.

And as many of you know, Nan's wisdom runs throughout my work—this podcast, of course, my blog with all recipes that we have, and especially The Wild Diet—you'll find lots of Nan in The Wild Diet.

But who is Nan, anyway?

Well, Marion Bascom, affectionately known as Nan, was a nurse, a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and a city girl who married my grandfather, Horace, a dairy farmer, and then took on the challenges of tending to an organic veggie garden, dairy farm and homestead while raising 7 children.

After living for almost a century, Nan passed away this year at 97 years old. I'm very happy, though, to be able to share her wisdom with you here today, especially now.

I didn't know exactly what I'd be doing with the interview with Nan all those years ago. She's technically going to be my first video interview on this show. It’s very cool, and I'm really happy to share it with you.

We could all benefit from listening to some wisdom from a grandmother right now, don't you think?

Get ready to smile, you're going to love this one.

So in this conversation with my grandmother, Marion Bascom, 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…

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…

Are we being mind controlled?

What's wrong with a sterilized culture, where speaking out against the status quo gets you shadow-banned and censored across platforms?

When free speech and free expression on all sides are egregiously squashed by unelected technocratic powers with zero accountability, it's clear someone is trying to influence or control the conversation.

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

And joining us today is the perfect guest to talk through some spicy and timely topics, our friend and fellow podcaster, writer and founder of Wild Foods, Colin Stuckert.

We need all the good people we can get to make it through this circus with our health and sanity intact. Colin is doing great work and I'm honored that our messages and businesses are so aligned.

On this show with Colin Stuckert, where we're chatting about:

• The dangers of sterilizing culture
• What we can learn from looking to nomadic hunter-gatherer cultures
• Strategies for improving your mood that cost no money
• How to navigate difficult situations by joining together as a community
• How to counteract fragility through lifestyle
• Benefits of taking the path of most resistance 
• And tons more...

What's worth more? A $20 bill or a bottle of wine?

In a pinch, I've realized real world pleasures like wine can be worth more than cold hard cash.

With rising food inflation and obvious issues with our supply chains, it's a good time to make sure you're stocked up on provisions for whatever life throws at you.

Which is why, even if you don't drink or you're not drinking right now, having a supply of high quality biodynamic natural wines can be a worthy alternative investment. (Hey there legal eagles, this is not investment advice.)

When a friend recently turned down payment in the form of money—actually a couple of crisp $20 bills, he just would not take them—but he gladly accepted our bottle of wine.

And that just reinforced the notion that having a diversity of items available to barter and trade could come in mighty handy in the future that we're facing.

So returning to the show today is our very good friend, Todd White.

Todd is a serial entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and founder of our all-time favorite supplier of natural biodynamic and organic wines, Dry Farm Wines.

After 15 years in the wine business, Todd's life is dedicated to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition and how they think about consuming alcohol.

We're getting into some fun and interesting topics on today's show, including:

• How social interaction with friends, family and the community is a nutrient that we all need
• Daily practices like gratitude, meditation and fitness at home
• How to spread love and inspire each other, especially in workplace environments
• Social media and fake news burnout

You know how a steak is marbled with fat—the fatter the animal, the more fat you see marbled through the muscle meat?

Did you know the same thing can happen in your muscles?

When you don't have your strength, when you're not training, when you're de-conditioned or sedentary, the muscles in the human body can actually become marbled with fat.

I don't know about you, but that image alone is enough to keep me training.

And we have the perfect guests here today. I'm happy to say that joining us is Dr. Gregory Kelly, a naturopathic physician, author of Shape Shift: The Shape Intelligence Solution, and the director of product development over at Neurohacker Collective.

Dr. Kelly has published numerous articles on natural medicine and nutrition, contributed three chapters to the Textbook of Natural Medicine and has more than 30 journal articles indexed on PubMed.

He’s the real deal. And on today’s episode, we're talking about:

• Why you don't want marbled muscles
• Taking a holistic view of health
• How sunlight is related to fat loss
• Longevity and two core things to focus on reinforcing as you age
• And tons more…

Have you tried eating low carb yet? How did it go?

How did you feel? Did it last? Be honest.

Many people get incredible results by kicking out all the processed junk, sugar, and by dialing down the carbs, but I'm going to be honest with you, I love carbs.

After my hard workouts, after my runs up the mountains, there's definitely a place for good carbs like wild rice, quinoa, sweet potato, old school sourdough, even some treats every once in a while.

Carbs can be our friends too.

So how do we scale our intake of fat, protein, and carbs, to achieve our ideal body composition?

Today, we're here with a perfect person to talk about it, the wonderful and talented, Tara Garrison.

Tara is a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, and mindset coach who helps high performers, including celebrities, professional athletes, and top executives optimize their health.

Ever since the world shut down, crippling small businesses, decimating communities and filling us all with fears of certain death, the response from politicians and world government has been disturbingly inadequate, to say the least.

Instead of educating the public on how to strengthen our immune system, politicians have preyed on people's fears, divided us, locked us inside, forced us all to cover our faces with cloth, and socially distance all the while.

But there's a big difference between socially distancing and physically distancing.

I'm beginning to feel that this choice of words was not an accident.

Also used as a form of torture, social distancing and isolation—especially combined with too much social media and screen time—destroys our relationships and damages our mental health.

Living in a constant state of anxiety and fear is just about the worst possible thing for our health and well-being.

When our mental health suffers our physical health falls apart. And at some point, we'll all have to acknowledge that mental health actually matters.

So we'll talk in this show today about how to deal with all of these crazy feelings that we may or may not be experiencing right now.

Today, we're here with Amy Morin, a psychotherapist, psychology lecturer, licensed clinical social worker, and author who’s now on her 4th book.

Amy’s TEDx talk, The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong, is one of the most popular talks of all time with more than 14 million views.

And Amy’s new podcast “Mentally Strong People” will be coming to you live from her floating podcast studio in the Florida Keys, where she lives on a sailboat!

If you're looking to build your mental strength and fortitude, this is the episode for you.

On today’s show with Amy Morin we're discussing…

• Specific mental strength exercises to manage your emotions, regulate your thoughts and take more productive action
• How to train your brain for happiness and success
• Facing your fears and taking back your power
• How to raise self-assured children
• And tons more...

Did you ever dream of being a pro athlete?

What happens when your goal becomes impossible?

It seems like an uphill battle out there recently, and a new playing field, so to speak.

You really need an ally. You need someone who's a comrade, someone who's there.

And so often that’s just being there physically for them, but also just being that supportive force in the world of Doritos, Oreos, Facebook and all the rest of it.

It's rough out there, so we need to prop each other up where we can.

And to help us out, today we’re here with David Nurse, an NBA life optimization coach, podcast host, worldwide motivational speaker, and bestselling author of “Pivot & Go.”

A former pro basketball player and coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has helped more than 150 NBA players really succeed on and off the court.

You’re going to like this one.

On this show with David, we’re talking about:

• How to turn a strength into a superpower
• How to harness the power of visualization with your personal highlight reel
• Why it takes 10 years to become an overnight success
• How to get into flow through deep breathing
• And tons more…

So, you've heard some of these words that are bouncing all around the inter-webs recently: Carnivore, keto, plant-based, vegan.

But do you know the nuances of what all these different words mean?

What's the difference between keto and Atkins? What's the difference between clean keto and dirty keto?

I mean, we can get really complicated with this.

Whether it's plant-based, carnivore, detoxes, cleanses—words are very confusing, more than ever.

And as it turns out, the meaning of words actually matters.

So today, we're here to dial-in the meaning a little bit, so that you can actually figure out what to put on your plate.

No matter what identity or word you're following, there are certain principles you can follow to take your health back into your own hands.

So joining us on the show today is our friend, Ben Azadi, best-selling author of 3 books—The Perfect Health Booklet, The Intermittent Fasting Cheat Sheet, and The Power of Sleep—he’s also a health coach, public speaker and host of the Keto Kamp Podcast.

On this show with Ben, we’re chatting about:

• Ben's journey to shedding 80 pounds and keeping it off
• How to get a mental six-pack
• The difference between dirty keto and restorative keto
• Why to avoid inflammatory fats (and what to eat instead)
• How to use intermittent fasting and extended block-fasting
• Tips on developing the right mental attitude for long-term success
• How to transform from a sugar burner to a fat burner
• And tons more...

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…

Are we living in an experiment?

Instead of securing the general welfare of the people and defending and securing our rights of liberty, it seems the powers that be are more interested in poisoning us while taking away our freedoms.

It’s time to ditch the confusion and take our health into our own hands.

To help us out, Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to the show to help us look at some everyday ingredients that we would do well to remove from our diets all together, including vegetable oils.

Dr. Cate went to Cornell and is trained in Family Medicine with a background in biochemistry and genetics. She’s authored three books including The Fatburn Fix, Deep Nutrition, and Food Rules.

Dr. Cate Shanahan is also known for creating nutrition programs that include homemade bone broth for many professional sports teams including the LA Lakers.

On today’s show with Dr. Cate, we’re talking about...

• The toxic and inflammatory effects of vegetable oil
• Why peanuts may not be as bad as we thought
• The real culprit behind type 2 diabetes
• Why the questionable fat sources in our diet are changing the composition of our bodies
• What to do about the low carb flu (or the keto flu)
• How to train your body to burn body fat
• The link between vegetable oil and sugar
• And tons more…

These days, it's fashionable to pop antibiotics like Tic Tacs, and it's almost impossible not to feel pressured into pumping sanitizer onto our hands when we enter or leave any store.

But did you know that even occasional use of antibiotics, hand sanitizers, and other germ-killers can wreak havoc on your long-term health?

Evidence is mounting that this germophobic clean craze - our obsession with antibiotics, hand sanitizer and sterile environments - is actually making us sicker.

Why? Because our bodies were perfectly designed to have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and even viruses. When you wipe all of those “bugs” away, your immune system can turn on itself.

Hence the current epidemic of auto-immunity.

And if we stop to take a quick look at the chemical ingredients in some of these hand-sanitizer, you may notice things like Triclosan, which is an endocrine disruptor and toxic to microbes and can actually cause thyroid issues and a lot of other problems.

So in this special throwback episode that seems more timely than ever, we're here with Dr. Robynne Chutkan, a leading expert in the world of gut health and one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America.

Dr. Chutkan has a B.S. from Yale and an M.D. from Columbia, and is the best-selling author of multiple books, including 'Gutbliss','The Microbiome Solution' and 'The Bloat Cure'.

On today's throwback with Dr. Chutkan you're going to learn:

• The value of getting dirty
• Why you should reconsider using hand sanitizer
• How to rewild your microbiome
• And much more…

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…

How would you like to print your own money? 

Well, unless you work with the Federal Reserve, you’re going to have to get creative. 

But in the face of rampant food inflation, growing your own food comes pretty close. 

And with the price of food rising globally, we’ve got to get prepared. 

Are you ready for this? Are you ready for the price of food to skyrocket? 

Health is a survival skill, and also getting access to clean water, and healthy fresh nutrient-dense foods—this is extremely important and it’s only going to become more so because our food system is under attack.

So today on the show, we have a throwback episode with Ron Finley, known as the Gangsta Gardener. 

A decade ago, Ron planted a curbside garden in the strip of soil in front of his house in LA. The city tried to shut it down, but instead of giving up Ron accidentally started a revolution and changed the game of urban gardening.

And he’s here to teach you critical survival skills, the ability to grow your own food, no matter where you are. 

On this powerful show with Ron, you’re about to learn: 

• Why growing your own food is a bit like printing your own money 
• How Ron changed the laws of urban gardening 
• How to change a kid’s life with a homegrown tomato 
• And much more…

When is it time to stand up for what you believe in?

We believe that time is now.

We’re hitting pause on our scheduled podcasts and posts to honor and highlight our black brothers and sisters and people of color in June.

In this special episode from the Trust & Believe Podcast, you're going to hear directly from our dear friend, Shaun T.

Shaun and I got to know each other about 5 years ago now on ABC TV working on a TV show called "My Diet is Better Than Yours."

He inspired me in so many different ways, and I'm very thankful to say that we've kept in touch over the years and he's actually been on the Fat-Burning Man Show two times in the past.

You know Shaun, long story short, is one of the best motivators I have ever seen in action and one of the best people I know.

So for many reasons, I would like to highlight his voice today. There's a lot that we can learn from what he has to say.

And I will warn you, it's a very emotional show. But we did keep the language family-friendly, so don't worry about that.

Today, Shaun T explains what's happening from his perspective. This was originally recorded for Shaun’s podcast Trust and Believe, and we decided to cross-post it here.

I first listened to this podcast with a lump in my throat and tearing up the whole time.

Love, patience, and understanding will get us through this. Not violence and destruction.

Black Lives Matter, we see you, we hear you, we stand with you, and we love you. Thank you for being patient as we all work together.

We are being divided, I believe, on purpose from the top down. And we will only get through this by showing each other compassion, patience, sympathy, and empathy. And hugs when they're legal again.

And so, I hope this special show today and the ones to come will help bring a little bit more empathy or at least sympathy and compassion back to the world.

We need it desperately right now.

Are you sick of dietary propaganda?

Me too.

This week's guest has been wiping the floor with ridiculous, government-mandated, top-down nutrition recommendations for decades now.

And she actually demonstrates that decreased health actually correlates with increased recommendations from the government. Thanks Uncle Sam.

So, returning to the show this week is, of course, international bestselling author Nora Gedgaudas.

Nora is certified in clinical nutrition and neurofeedback and is the bestselling author of "Primal Body, Primal Mind" and "Primal Fat Burner" as well as "Rethinking Fatigue⁠"—a cutting edge approach to adrenal health.

Nora is the real deal, and I do believe that more people need to be listening to her and her message right now. There is so much wisdom in what she has to say.

In this episode we’re talking about:

• What to do about dietary propaganda
• How to eat and supplement for a robust immune system
• What Pottenger's Cats tell us about diet and nutrition
• Alzheimer's disease and how it's affecting her family life
• How to maintain brain health and age gracefully
• And tons more...

Ready to boost your confidence?

Don't underestimate the power and importance of morale right now.

In the age of internet memes, celebrity gossip, social media, clickbait articles and online haters, it's easy to get pulled into that vortex of negativity.

Trust me, we get plenty of hate, especially these days. But you’ve got to keep going.

So, how can we ditch those bad vibes and get the confidence we need to take back control of our lives?

To help us out, today we're here with Elle Russ, the best-selling author, a TV and film writer, comedian, and host of the popular Primal Blueprint Podcast.

We're chatting about…

• How to ditch jealousy and bad vibes
• Why our confidence is under attack and what to do about it—this one's really important
• How to speak up and say ‘no’
• How comedy helps us find the edges
• And tons more.

Are you sick of being stuck inside?

You're in good company.

When our survival and basic needs are threatened, our trust in authority figures broken and our human rights ignored, it's pretty easy to lose your head.

So how can we protect our brain and nervous system in these trying times?

Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show this week to help us out is Eliza Kingsford, a Licensed Psychotherapist and certified Mind-Body Practitioner. She's the author of Brain-Powered Weight Loss, and she's joining me on the show to share:

• Easy tips for navigating mental health while we're in such close quarters
• The importance of protecting your nervous system right now
• How to manage kids and a career, at the same time
• The science behind why you might be struggling with food cravings more than usual (and what to do about it)
• And tons more…

Even before the world shut down, 80% of kids don’t get enough exercise.

What do you think these numbers look like for grown-ups?

Terrifying.

Somehow we find ourselves in a world where we need to fight for our right to recess. Even if we're adults. No matter what country we're in.

I can't think of a better person to remind us how important it is to go outside and play than our friend Darryl Edwards.

Darryl is a former investment banking technologist turned movement coach, author, researcher, and creator of the Primal Play method.

He's also a talented musician, as well. Being a creator, some sort of artist, whether that be visual art, theater, performance of any kind, but certainly music and play. These are all very related to each other, and building one of these modalities can help build the others, I believe.

On today's show with Darryl, we're talking about:

• How the phrase "I play" can transform you.
• Making functional fitness fun again
• How to take the superhero path
• What NOT to do in an emergency situation
• How not to get completely steamrolled by life—that’s important right now.
• And tons more...

So how are you doing out there? Pretty rough, right?

You feeling a little stressed? I know I am.

But it's important to know, especially during times like these, that at our best we can use this stress and put it to good use instead of letting it completely destroy us.

And a long-range of studies, unfortunately, have shown that chronic stress caused by things like social isolation, long-term unemployment, untreated depression and more can actually shorten your DNA telomeres, which in turn can speed up the aging process and then just wreak havoc on your health in a myriad of ways.

So how can we be proactive and slow or reverse the signs of aging?

Well, to help us out, I figure we might as well invite one of our friends and a modern-day superhero on the show, Mr. Brad Kearns.

Brad is a New York Times bestselling author, host of the Get Over Yourself podcast, and a top-ranked professional triathlete, who, get this, broke a Guinness World Record in speed golf.

And on today’s show we’re discussing:

• How to support male hormone function as we age
• The benefits of micro workouts, I'm a big fan
• What the latest longevity research is telling us
• Why we should be eating nose to tail, especially you carnivores and keto folks out there
• And tons more...

Are you feeling a little on edge lately? You're not the only one.

But be honest now, do you think technology is helping you or hurting you?

These are critical questions, especially in the age of lockdowns and censorship.

Did you know that over 600,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. every year?

That’s an astounding 1 out of every 4 deaths.

Well today we’re here with one of my old friends from Austin, Texas, Mr. Carl Swanson, a man who somehow stubbornly survived 5 heart attacks and turned his health around for the better.

Carl is a former army Scout for a tank battalion with the 9th Infantry Division, he’s worked for Dell and CNN, and is a self-starter who’s done everything from being a tour guide, owning a food cart, and even starting a cheesecake business.

And no joke, Carl’s cheesecakes are some of the best I’ve ever had—you’ll hear a bit about that on today’s show.

We’re chatting about:

• How to reclaim your health after 5 heart attacks
• Food and service entrepreneurship in Austin, TX

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…

Tried an elimination diet yet?

You’ve likely heard a lot of buzz around the carnivore diet, it's come up a few times on this show.

The way I think about elimination diets, is that you're fasting from certain food categories.

When you give yourself a break, all of a sudden your immune system can calm down and do the exact work that it needs to do to keep you safe—instead of causing all sorts of problems for you or attacking your own body, in the case of auto-immune conditions.

You don't want your health to be getting low at this point, with everything that we're up against.

So, let's add to your bag of tricks today—Dr. Paul Saladino is joining us on the show.

Dr. Saladino is a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, he hosts the Fundamental Health podcast, and just released his brand new book, The Carnivore Code.

On today’s show, we’re covering...

• The benefits of elimination diets
• Nutrient density of eating nose-to-tail
• How to source good quality meats, eggs and bones
• Voting with your fork and wallet
• Cost and practicality of the Carnivore Diet
• And tons more…

As a collective, are we getting smarter or dumber?

Let’s be honest.

Intelligence—the capacity for learning, logic, understanding, critical thinking, planning, self-awareness, problem solving, emotional knowledge, reasoning, creativity—is a whole brain-body phonomenon.

And in order to harness your natural intelligence, it’s important to support your brain and body with the right foods, and turn down other inputs, like pollution and toxins that can drag us down.

Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show today is our friend Mr. Max Lugavere.

Max is a filmmaker, health and science journalist, host of The Genius Life podcast, and New York Times bestselling author of Genius Foods.

And on today’s show, we’re chatting about:

• How to eat for your brain health
• Why it’s important to eat the rainbow (and not the sugary Skittles kind)
• The metabolic "free ride" of protein
• How to get smarter in a confusing and divisive time
• And much more…

Can you improve your longevity, health and overall well being just through lifestyle factors alone?

Or are we doomed to the fate brought on by our family history and genetics?

To help us find out, today we’re here with Dr. Steven Gundry, a bestselling author and former cardiac surgeon who put himself out of business, and is now known as—I love this—the “No More Mr. Knife Guy.”

In 2002, Dr. Gundry founded The Center for Restorative Medicine based in Palm Springs, CA where he teaches patients how to live healthier lives through diet and lifestyle choices with the ultimate vision of helping people avoid the kinds of surgeries he performed for over three decades.

• How to improve longevity with a few simple tweaks

• The importance of vitamin D
• What's the deal with peanuts and cashews
• How physicians can be detectives
