Ashleigh shares her incredible story of recovering from these illnesses, and how she used her knowledge of the mind-body connection to heal when Western medicine failed her.
Key topics covered include:
The pivotal mind-body factors behind “incurable” diagnoses

Sam Moffett: Conversations with Your Local Rancher | MMP #275
19 Feb 2024
01:12:47
For the second time, Sam Moffett joins us today on the podcast. Sam is the co-owner of regenerative ranch Shirttail Creek Farm and farm owned Austin grocer Local Pastures. From growing up in the suburbs to running a successful grass-fed beef operation, Sam provides a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the trials and triumphs of ranch life. Learn about the exponential growth of consumer demand for locally-raised meats post-COVID, Sam's and other ranchers approach to ethical farming, and why he believes an animal's quality of life directly correlates to the quality of product.
Sam and his wife started Shirttail Creek Farm from scratch six years ago. After an unfulfilling career in digital marketing, Sam was determined to take control of his health and align his values with his work, leaving Austin with his family for the countryside to start raising grass-fed, grass-finished beef and pasture-raised pork and poultry. The farm supplies meat and eggs to their Local Pastures store in Austin and ships products nationwide.
Topics discussed include the complexities around food labels such as “free-range” and “organic”, the challenges and rewards of sustainable ranching, the intricate process of pasture management, the impact of COVID-19 on local farming, the honoring process of slaughtering your own animals, key questions to ask a rancher you might source meat from, the importance of community-supported agriculture, cultivating meaningful relationships in the social media age, and many other topics.

Brett & Harry: The Ultimate Guide to Sourcing High-Quality Food | MMP #274
15 Feb 2024
00:57:28
In this episode of the Meat Mafia Podcast, we dive into the topic of sourcing high-quality food. We've created a simple framework for you to start to improve the quality of the food that you're putting in your body, and it starts with knowing how to find high-quality food. In our first episode of this series, we discussed the importance How To Eat Healthy and we covered the basics on what to eat and how to form the right habits to consistently fuel yourself properly.
As you'll hear in the episode, we get into a philosophical discussion about how we've grown disconnected from our food system, and its implications. We believe in the spiritual essence of food, and how we're designed to live in connection with the world around us. Our current food system divides us from our conscious connection to true life-giving nutrients. We believe it's imperative to reconnect with our food system to become healthier.
On this episode, you'll learn:
How to navigate the grocery store? Where to find farm fresh food? Why you should order some food online? How to improve your health one step at a time? How to reconnect with our food system?

Brett & Harry: A Practical Guide On How To Eat Healthy | MMP #272
08 Feb 2024
01:08:58
We're excited to launch the first episode of a series of Meat Mafia exclusive podcasts intended to cover specific health topics. By the end of this series, we expect you to be well-equipped to start improving your health in a meaningful way. We'll cover everything from how to eat healthy to improving your environment to support optimal health.
In this episode, we provide a blueprint for taking control of your health through optimizing your diet. It's broken down into three sections:
1) The emotional relationship with food 2) What foods to eat and avoid 3) The execution for eating healthy
We share specifics around the nutrient-dense foods your body thrives on as well as key strategies for overcoming emotional eating patterns, meal prepping efficiently, and structuring your days for success.
For context on this series, a huge reason why we started this show is that, we're not doctors, we're not MDs, we're not personal trainers, we're not nutritionists, we're just two guys that graduating college fell out of optimal health and put in the 10,000 hours of trial, error, and understanding what worked well and what didn't. We really feel like we found a blueprint that's helped us optimize our health and create the life that we've ultimately dreamed of. Hence, the goal of these solo episodes is to break down meaningful and important topics in health to give you as much value and impact as possible in your life.
We cover in this episode emotional eating triggers, understanding your relationship with food, the best nutrient-dense foods to eat, proteins to prioritize, why you should cut out refined sugars/grains, the benefit of seasonal and local eating, meal planning strategies, efficiently grocery shopping, preparing food in advance, overcoming emotional eating habits, using food to transform your energy levels, focusing on food quality over quantity, and more.
We try cover all the key bases here to equip you with our favorite science-based nutrition tactics. Enjoy, and thank YOU for all your support. It means an incredible amount to us and we hope this series can give back in some small way.

Raw Milk & Deadlifts: The Life Changing Power Of Raw Milk | MMP #269
29 Jan 2024
01:12:28
Raw milk is making a powerful resurgence as more people discover its remarkable health benefits after years of propaganda against unpasteurized dairy. In this episode, Tommy and Luke of Raw Milk and Deadlifts share their journey to raw milk. They share how its easily digestible nutrients, enzymes, probiotics and ability to cure nutritional deficiencies transformed their health and provided sustained energy.
Growing up on the standard American diet, Tommy and Luke struggled with acne, inflammation, and other health issues. Introduced to health and fitness in high school, they discovered the power of nutrition and local farming, which eventually led them to raw milk. They were shocked by how much better they felt, with increased energy, improved digestion, clearer skin, and faster muscle recovery. Best friends since kindergarten, their venture, Raw Milk and Deadlifts, is a culmination of their passions: farming, fitness, and faith.
Key topics include: the lost history and hidden health benefits of raw dairy, Louis Pasteur vs Antoine Béchamp, firsthand experiences of increased strength and workout recovery, how raw milk supports gut health and a diverse microbiome, benefits of bone broth and bone marrow, the ethics of small farming, using every part of the animal, food waste in America, clarifying myths about the legality of raw milk, finding local raw milk producers, and much more.

Alysa Seeland: The Rise Of Bone Broth & Beef Tallow - Ways To Use It & Benefit From It | MMP #350
24 Jul 2024
01:16:31
Key topics discussed: - how bone broth and beef tallow, rich in collagen and essential nutrients, support gut health, nutrient absorption, and overall wellness. - regenerative agriculture, ethical sourcing, and supporting sustainable farming communities. - the resurgence of traditional foods like bone broth and beef tallow, and their health benefits in modern diets. - ketogenic and carnivore diets, their benefits for energy and mental clarity, and whether balance is necessary. - the profound psychological and physical effects of food choices, emphasizing the importance of nutrient-dense options for overall well-being.
Alysa Seeland is the founder of Fond Bone Broth, making some of the highest-quality commercial bone broth on the market. Alysa's path towards founding Fond came after a health scare after her pregnancy with her first child. In the face of some serious health problems, Alysa turned to bone broth to heal herself, relying heavily on making fresh, quality broth during her healing process. Within a few months she realized the amazing healing properties of bone broth and wanted to share her product and message with others struggling with health complications. And thus, Fond Bone Broth was born. Based out of San Antonio, Texas, the company is on a mission to create fresh, regeneratively sourced bone broth for everyday people.
This is the second time we had Alysa on the podcast. Check out our first episode with Alysa here where we cover her healing and founders story.

CarnivoreCrowd The CarnivoreCrowd over at CrowdHealth is bringing together metabolically healthy people to share in medical expenses. It's incredible. They're providing an alternative to health care coverage in the form of a community-based approach. It's pretty simple - you pay a monthly fee and then when your medical expenses come up you simply cover them with cash (which is often times 50% less) and then the crowd bands together and splits those costs through a crowdfunding model. We've both used this service for the last two years and love it.
Check out their new CarnivoreCrowd and if you sign up be sure to use code MEATMAFIA for a discount on your first 3 months!
We Feed Raw I've been a dog owner for the last two years and I can confidently say that nothing has made a bigger difference than feeding my dog, Sunny, raw food. I've been feeding her We Feed Raw for the last 18 months and she absolutely loves it.

Mike Posner: Life Lessons From Walking Across America | MMP #267
22 Jan 2024
01:09:48
Today, artist Mike Posner joins us on the podcast. In our raw and vulnerable conversation, Mike shares his powerful journey of self-discovery through immense physical and mental challenges. Hear Mike reflect on the inner turmoil that drove him to walk across America, the internal shifts that allowed him to grow, techniques for quieting our suffering mind, and motivational insights on unlocking our human potential.
Known for chart-topping hits like “Cooler Than Me,” and "I Took A Pill In Ibiza", Posner is a celebrated and grammy nominated musical artist, songwriter, and producer. Less known however, is Mike's personal and spiritual side. In 2019, he walked from New Jersey to California, averaging over 24 miles a day. He has since climbed the tallest mountain on each continent, including Mount Everest, while raising money for charity. Mike has a deep love and affection for humanity and the world, which he seeks to share wholeheartedly. You can feel it.
Key topics discussed include overcoming pain and fear on extreme endurance challenges, accessing higher states through breathwork, Mike being bit by a rattlesnake, the 'no matter what' clause, the three stages of maturity, infusing spirituality into our everyday movement, leading into hardship for growth, creative abundance, the miraculous in our existence, Mike's future plans, and more.
Side note: Mike was quite an incredible guest. We were pretty stunned by this one. You may find, like us, that he's an enlightened David Goggins - so happy, yet gives you that adrenaline shot to charge into life. Enjoy!

Dr. Anthony Chaffee: Reversing Chronic Disease Through Carnivore Diet | MMP #266
18 Jan 2024
01:08:16
Today, Dr. Anthony Chaffee joins us again for the second time on the podcast. If you're curious about the carnivore diet, this is a must listen.
Dr. Anthony Chaffee explains how humans evolved as meat-eaters over millions of years, making animal foods profoundly healing while plant toxins tend to trigger conditions like autoimmune disease. He addresses in depth how the shift to agriculture and processed foods has led to declining health across populations, and how a carnivore diet focused on fatty meat and water will ensure dramatic health turnarounds.
Dr. Chaffee is a neurosurgeon and leading educator on using ancestral nutrition to heal chronic disease. After overcoming his own health struggles with a meat-focused diet, he set out to understand the science and is now a well known educator of his teachings through many communities. Dr. Chaffee's message is backed by years of research, clinical observations, and personal experience, making him a credible and fascinating figure in the world of health and nutrition.
Other topics covered include why humans evolved as meat eaters, debunking common misconceptions about plant-based diets and chronic diseases, myths surrounding cholesterol and fiber, how agriculture and processed foods have damaged health, real-world examples of disease reversal on carnivore diets, how more doctors are coming around to ancestral nutrition, and tips for getting started on the carnivore diet.

Dan McCormick: Building a Million Dollar per Month Creatine Brand | MMP #264
11 Jan 2024
00:55:35
Today we have on the podcast Dan McCormick, CEO and founder of the D2C creatine gummy brand, Create Wellness. Dan reflects on Create's backstory, where after 10 years of Dan taking creatine, he identified a clear market in gap in the benefits creatine provides and the negative misconceptions surrounding it. Learn how he's battled these misconceptions and grown his business as the sole employee, his perspective on publishing real revenue figures publicly, and his advice for aspiring founders in the oversaturated supplement space.
As the sole employee of Create, Dan oversees all aspects of the business. He also co-writes an optimistic newsletter called Not Boring with his brother Packy McCormick, a well-known tech writer and investor, which has over 200,000 subscribers. Despite Create's impressive growth, Dan still battles imposter syndrome when talking about the "creatine gummy business." However, he powers through by focusing on the tangible health benefits Create provides customers.
We also discuss trends in the ecommerce landscape, the benefits of creatine and the challenges in selling it, Dan's lessons from publishing revenue numbers publicly, why female fitness influencers have been key partners, and his advice for aspiring founders, why females have held more market share than males, the ideal mechanism to delivery creatine gummies, and many other topics.

21 Dec 2023
01:17:23
If you've been feeling drained and disconnected lately, EMFs could be to blame. Tristan Scott, electrical engineer, author, and EMF consultant, blows the lid on the overlooked impacts of electromagnetic frequencies on our health. He makes the case for getting grounded in nature as our best safeguard, strategies to reduce EMF exposure, aligning with circadian rhythms, and the critical role of fat-soluble nutrients in our dietary regime.
Tristan Scott brings expertise as an author, podcast host of Decentralized Radio, and health consultant focused on empowering others to take control of their health. After overcoming his own struggle with post-concussion syndrome through alternative modalities like light therapy, Tristan now shares his message from his Wyoming home base.
Key topics covered include the dilemma of EMF and bluetooth headphones, the toxic threshold of EMFs, simple ways to reduce EMF exposure, why perfection in health shouldn't be the goal, the critical importance of sunlight and circadian biology, the importance of mindset in healing, historical human dietary practices, the role of vitamins, and more.

Loren Castle: Overcoming Cancer to Selling Millions of Cookies | MMP #255
11 Dec 2023
00:49:13
In this episode, Loren Castle, founder of Sweet Loren's, shares her journey from battling cancer to founding and leading the #1 natural cookie dough business in the U.S. We break down Sweet Loren's incredible success and story, the positive irreversible change that dietary transformation has on oneself, and how we can nourish our bodies whilst enjoying delicious treats.
After overcoming Hodgkin’s Lymphoma at age 22, Loren became devoted to living a healthy lifestyle through nutrition, yoga, and mindfulness. After years of product iteration, adversity and a desire to align her commitment to wellness with her craving for a tasty, high quality snack - Sweet Loren's was born: a line of gluten-free, dairy-free cookie dough made with responsibly-sourced ingredients to satisfy any sweet tooth or dietary need.
We cover Loren's intuitive approach to entrepreneurship, navigating relationships with retailers like Whole Foods, product innovation based on customer feedback, the adrenaline one finds in pursuing a passion, and more.
Side note - this conversation was awesome - Loren is so passionate about wanting people to be able to enjoy all that life has to give, and her company might have honestly created the blueprint for how smaller companies with clean ingredients and win over customers and change the tide with big food corps. Go Loren!

Wyatt Ewing: The One Thing You Need to Do to Be Successful | MMP #253
04 Dec 2023
01:13:25
In this episode, we're joined by Wyatt Ewing, founder of Ice Barrel, to discuss the profound mental and physical benefits of cold therapy, how he built his business from the ground up, the power of instincts and self-awareness, and living a primal lifestyle. Wyatt began his cold therapy journey after hitting rock bottom from extreme stress and anxiety. Daily cold exposure initially through cold showers, then ice baths, transformed his life. This led him to create Ice Barrel in 2018, a unique and original designed upright barrel for cold water immersion, as well as instilling in him a passion to bring cold exposure to the masses.
From barely getting by selling tractors in Amish country to supply cash, to the origins of choosing his first headquarters in Ohio, Wyatt doesn’t gloss over the realities of building a business out of sheer passion. We cover his inspiring founder journey, techniques to optimize health through intuition over science, creating community around a brand, the importance of core values in hiring, supporting local economies and supply chains, and much more.

30 Nov 2023
01:21:52
On today’s episode, Brett chats with Pete Nelson — the founder of SISU Saunas — about how stepping into the sauna and cold plunge helps with stress, sleep, and motivation. From struggling to sell a single sauna for months on end to now selling dozens of high-end, US-made saunas every month, Pete’s story is one of perseverance, leaning into hardship, and practicing a lifestyle around “sisu” — a Finnish ideal about grit, determination, and bravery that Pete has built his company around.
During our conversation, we discussed misconceptions around sauna usage, the ideal sauna temperature for different goals, how consistent sauna usage provides a dopamine reset and reduces stress, using sauna as a tool for zone 2 cardio, and much more. Pete also shares his crazy idea to run ultra-marathons in Antarctica as a way to give his life excitement and face fears. A must-listen for anyone interested in learning the ins and outs of saunas and the general tenets behind pursuing a healthy lifestyle.

Matt Lysiak: The Role of Government, Big Corp & Money Printing in Modern Food Consumption | MMP #248
16 Nov 2023
00:56:47
Matt Lysiak, a crime report and author of critically acclaimed book 'Fiat Food', joins Harry today as he shares insights into the relationship between the advent of fiat currency and the transformation of our global food system.
Matt reveals the dubious alliance of governmental organizations, big corporations, and certain dietary advocates that have led to the normalization of unhealthy, ultra-processed food. By dissecting historical events such as the departure from the gold standard, the creation of fake food commodities, and the subtle manipulation by influential personalities and religious entities, Matt decodes how our dietary habits have been economically engineered.

Charles Mayfield: Pork Bastardization, Why We Transitioned From Lard To Seed Oils, Animals Fats & Skincare (Part 2) | MMP #348
18 Jul 2024
00:43:06
Charles Mayfield is the founder of Farrow Skincare, an animal-based skincare product that does not contain fillers, additives, and other harmful chemicals. Charles became fascinated by the benefits of lard on the skin when he made the connection between the biology of humans and pigs. The origins of Farrow all started after a long day out in the July Tennessee sun. Charles decided to use some lard from his farm to protect his skin from peeling out of necessity and it wasn't until the next day that he realized his skin never peeled and his burn had vanished. At that point, Charles realized he was on to something. Now, Charles is on a mission to bring lard-based skincare to the masses and convince people to throw away their toxic skin creams.
Key topics discussed:
- The benefits of cooking and consuming nutrient-dense, whole foods
- The negative effects of modern lifestyle choices on physical health and how they can be reversed
- The significance of using natural skincare products over conventional ones
- The importance of understanding and improving metabolic health
- The role of mental belief and positive mindset in the healing process

Mark Ritz: Building and Scaling a Regenerative Meat Snack Brand | MMP #245
06 Nov 2023
00:54:38
In this episode, I sit down with Mark Ritz, co-founder of Carnivore Snax. Mark's journey is fascinating, from starting the Ritzfit podcast and ecommerce company to eventually launching Carnivore Snax with his partner Sylvia.
Mark shares the origin story of Carnivore Snax, beginning with Sylvia's personal health journey with the carnivore diet. We loved hearing how they built an audience around her story first before running a successful Kickstarter campaign in 2020. Mark gives us an inside look into the ups and downs of rapidly scaling Carnivore Snax over the past few years - expanding their product line, working directly with regenerative farms, and handling all the adversity that comes with running a growing business.
Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, interested in the carnivore diet, or care about regenerative agriculture, we think you'll get a ton of value from Mark's transparency and wealth of knowledge in this episode.

Kara and Jeff Smith: Quality Cattle, Land Stewardship from 5th Generation Ranchers | MMP #241
23 Oct 2023
01:33:36
Our guests Jeff and Kara represent the 5th generation of their family cattle ranch in Colorado. Their story began over a century ago when Kara's great great grandfather claimed land in eastern Colorado through the Enlarged Homestead Act of 1909.
In 1917 he officially established the ranch that would become the foundation for Colorado Craft Beef today. Fast forward to now, Kara has taken the lead in evolving their family business. She is driving innovation while maintaining their legacy of quality cattle and stewardship of the land.
By selling beef directly to consumers nationwide, Colorado Craft Beef connects people back to the source of their food. Kara and Jeff are keeping small family ranching traditions alive while building a sustainable business model for the future.
We were blown away by the incredible flavor and quality of the steaks and burgers from Colorado Craft Beef. As rising leaders in the direct-to-consumer meat space, Jeff and Kara go above and beyond to surpass customer expectations.
They offer nationwide subscriptions for their curated boxes of burgers and steaks. We love that Colorado Craft Beef uses innovative yet time-honored animal husbandry and land management practices. This allows them to produce a delicious, high-quality source of protein for families across the country.
Elevate your home dining experience by trying their humanely raised, grass-fed beef. We certainly did! You can check them out at Colorado Craft Beef. Use code MEATMAFIA to get 10% off.

Dr. Nazlie Latefi: Resolving Inflammation and Supporting Immunity, Naturally | MM #239
18 Oct 2023
00:57:10
We’re thrilled to have Dr. Nazlie Latefi, Co-Founder and Chief Science Officer at BioVanta, join us on the podcast. Dr. Latefi gives an inside look at the surprising lack of innovation in the over-the-counter medicine industry. She explains how most cold and flu remedies rely on outdated formulas developed back in the 1930s, with ingredients like pseudoephedrine and dextromethorphan that are ineffective yet still commonly used today.
As a scientist pursuing her PhD in molecular neuroscience, Dr. Latefi started questioning why OTC options hadn’t evolved to address root causes like inflammation. This curiosity ultimately led her and her husband to create BioVanta, using next-level ingredients backed by science and nature.
We come away feeling empowered, knowing we can vote with our wallets to support companies like BioVanta that are pioneering meaningful change. We’re grateful to continue learning from Dr. Latefi and are encouraged by BioVanta’s mission to transform over-the-counter medicine into safe, natural solutions that actually work.

Dr. Anthony Gustin: Finding Meaning and Purpose Through Entrepreneurship and Faith | MMP #237
09 Oct 2023
01:38:51
This week we sat down with Dr. Anthony Gustin, founder of Equip Foods, host of The Natural State Podcast, and expert on ancestral health and nutrition. We reflected on Anthony's journey building and selling his company Perfect Keto, and the lessons he learned about finding fulfillment through creative pursuits versus just chasing entrepreneurial success.
Anthony shared his recent move to Bend, Oregon and how he is focused on investing profits into local businesses and building community. We discussed concerns about societal decay, and the lack of inspiring role models when reaching high levels of "success."
A big portion of this episode involved an honest discussion about our spiritual journeys and discovering meaning through faith. Anthony opened up about exploring religion after rejecting it earlier in life, while we explained how finding a supportive church community has been incredibly impactful for both of us.
Overall, this was a wide-ranging and vulnerable conversation exploring entrepreneurship, spirituality, regenerative agriculture, and leading a values-driven life in service of others. We appreciated Anthony's wisdom and perspective.

Rob Schimek: Food Stamps, Competing in the Ironman World Championships, & Maximizing Your Potential | MMP #236

This week we sat down with Rob Schimek, the CEO of of Bolttech, a global insurtech company worth $1.6B dollars. Rob has over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry and is one of the most accomplished executives we have ever met. We could have podcasted for hours just about Rob’s professional career and business insights, but there is so much more to his story.
Rob comes from humble beginnings, born into a family of 8 that was on food stamps when he was a child. He learned the value of hard work at a young age and was the first generation of his family to go to college. He started by getting an associate’s degree from Bucks County Community College, a Bachelor’s degree from Rider, and then an MBA from Wharton.
Rob’s endurance pursuits are beyond legendary. He has done countless marathons, Ironmans, and tough mudders. He has completed the Ironman World Championships in Kona 3 times and is currently training for the Antarctic Marathon and the Tokyo Marathon at 58 years of age. We detail his training regiment, diet, bloodwork protocols, and much more. It is also important to note that Rob did not complete first race until he was 40, and we discuss why it’s never too late to start something new.
This is an amazing episode for anyone interested in business, endurance sports, transitioning to entrepreneurship late in life, and above all….

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is board certified in family medicine and completed a combined research and clinical fellowship in geriatrics and nutritional sciences at Washington University in St. Louis. She completed her undergraduate training in nutritional sciences at the University of Illinois. Dr. Lyon is a subject-matter expert and educator in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging, and disease prevention. She has continued to receive mentorship from Dr. Donald Layman, PhD, over the course of two decades to help bring protein metabolism and nutrition from the bench to the bedside.
Before, Dr. Lyon went on to pursue her career in medicine she lived with her godmother in Hawaii who just so happened to be one of the most prominent PhD nutritionists of her time. Dr. Lyon's experience in Hawaii shaped her views on nutrition forever. Now, she is helping high-level performers like ex-Navy Seals, celebrities and ultra-successful multi-millionaire businessmen, operate at the highest level.
We saw a different side of Dr. Gabrielle Lyon on this podcast! We talked less about nutrition and much more about mental performance, and how to create an edge for yourself in life. This entire episode was loaded with gold nuggets - enjoy!
