Do you find yourself more distracted than ever?

You’re not alone. In the rapid-fire, hyper-connected, dopamine-driven modern world, harnessing true focus is a rare superpower… 

But understanding the subtle mechanics of human attention might just be the most valuable skill in our increasingly distracted world.

Today, we're exploring the extraordinary work of Will Henshall - a guy who doesn't just create music, but deconstructs how sound interacts with our neurological operating system. Will is a musician, inventor, and entrepreneur who went from writing global #1 hit songs to reverse-engineering human focus like it's a complex guitar solo. 

It's not about talent. It's about seeing the world from a unique and different perspective - and having the guts to build something when everyone else says it can't be done. 

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why different brain types require unique sonic approaches to maintain concentration, especially if you have ADHD
• How to choose music to aid focus, flow, and productivity based on your brain type
• Why AI and generative art can't replicate the emotional power of live human creativity and performance
• And much more…

Abel James explores the fascinating intersection of music, technology, and entrepreneurship with guest Will Henshall. Will, a musician turned inventor, shares his journey from writing global hit songs with the band London Beat to founding Focus at Will, a music streaming service designed to enhance concentration. The conversation delves into the science of human attention, the role of music in productivity, and how different brain types require unique sonic approaches to maintain focus. Will also discusses the entrepreneurial mindset, emphasizing the importance of seeing opportunities where others see obstacles and the relentless pursuit of one's purpose.

The discussion further explores the impact of AI on creativity, the irreplaceable emotional power of live human performance, and the potential renaissance of live music in a digital age. Will shares insights into his work with the METAL MEN group, highlighting the value of community and collaboration among like-minded individuals. The episode offers a rich tapestry of ideas on how music and technology can be harnessed to improve focus and productivity, while also celebrating the timeless magic of human creativity and connection.

If mediocrity found a way to creep into your life, James’ story might just kick you back into gear.

Whether you're an entrepreneur grinding to reach the next level, an athlete looking for that extra edge, or just someone who knows deep down something has to change - this episode is going to light you up.

What would happen if you trained like the best athlete in the world? How about the best actor or artist?

Today we have the incredible honor of speaking with Bo Eason—a former star safety in the NFL, as well as an acclaimed playwright, author, and coach. After competing with all-time greats like Jerry Rice and Walter Payton in the NFL, Bo changed his dream and went on to write and perform on Broadway… despite having no experience as a writer or stage performer.  

As he shares his multi-decade journey becoming the best in the world in completely unrelated fields, Bo proves that the principles of mastery truly are universal… and you can learn them, too. 

This is excellent news for mere mortals like us. 

In this episode with Bo, you’ll hear:

• The roadmap to becoming a world class performer in any field
• Why we need to reclaim our natural physicality instead of apologizing for it
• How to harness the magic of storytelling to build your dream life 
• And much more…

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.

But instead of jumping straight into invasive dystopian technology like brain implants (turning us into the borg), we can actually use tech as a tool to improve our habits.

It doesn't have to be overly complicated, and it's quickly becoming easier and cheaper to track heart rate variability, sleep quality, fitness, blood sugar, and much more.

And what's most important is how we use our data to modify our daily practices.

So joining us on the show today is Kara Collier, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Nutrition Support Clinician, and the Director of Nutrition at NutriSense where she's also a leading authority on the use of continuous glucose monitoring or CGM technology.

On this show with Kara Collier, we're chatting about:

• How to use technology as a tool to quantify and optimize your health
• The benefits of tracking blood sugar with a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)
• Why you're stealing energy from the next day when you have that ice cream or extra booze late at night
• Why drinking oat milk is almost as bad as sugar-laden soda once it hits your bloodstream
• How stress impacts blood glucose levels (and what to do about it)
• Why it's a good idea to test your blood glucose after eating manufactured keto products 
• And tons more...

Is eating meat bad for the environment?

By now, long time listeners like you know well that industrial factory farms packed with GMO grain-fed cattle destroy our health and desecrate the planet.

Why is “eat less, exercise more” terrible advice for most people?

What's the difference between starving yourself and intermittent fasting?

To help us navigate these questions and then some, returning to the show this week is award-winning investigative science writer, speaker and bestselling author, Gary Taubes.

Gary studied applied physics at Harvard University, aerospace engineering at Stanford, and journalism at Columbia University.

If you're ready to finally ditch hunger and transform into a fat-burning machine, this is the show for you.

We're talking about…

• The differences between intermittent fasting and starving yourself
• A simple strategy to shed fat without hunger

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
• How to funnel addictive behavior into something positive
• How to use fitness as a catalyst for change in your life

How is your routine looking lately? Getting a bit stale?

It happens to all of us, but in challenging times, it's more important than ever to identify the things that are no longer working and then let them go.

And remember as well, that this game wouldn't be nearly as fun if it were easy.

Now, today we're here with a perfect person to talk to you about shaking things up. His name is Nick Shaw, and he is a former competitive powerlifter and bodybuilder, author, as well as the founder and CEO of Renaissance Periodization.

Nick has coached world-class athletes, including CrossFit Games Champions, international medalists, Olympians, UFC fighters, professional athletes, and even Navy SEALs.

Today we're talking about...

• Bodybuilding and training for peak performance sports
• Getting creative with fitness at home
• The importance of delayed gratification and long-term planning
• How to balance health and fitness while keeping your sanity
• Recharging and why you should consider scheduling a deload

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...

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…

• 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…

When was the last time you took a luxurious breath of fresh air straight from nature?

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
• Why it's cool to barter with gifts from the land
• And tons more…

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.

In today’s episode, we're chatting about:

• How lifting weights makes everything easier
• Why you should do keto but not forever
• Intermittent fasting from a woman's perspective
• Changing your mindset from a restrictive mindset to an abundance mindset
• And tons more...

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...

Who’s hijacking the internet?

It started out, you'd pick up a phone and you'd call or text one other person. But now, we’re all in these separate little online groups.

We're connected but it's also been co-opted. And it attacks us from so many different directions.

And no matter how much they try to bury us, we can still find each other, we just might need to try a little bit harder.

Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show today is long-time friend, fellow podcaster, and multi-talented maniac Vinnie Tortorich.

Vinnie is a Celebrity Fitness Trainer, speaker, cancer survivor, bestselling author, and creator of the hit documentary Fat: A Documentary.
