Fat-burning Man By Abel James (video Podcast): Real Food, Real Results.

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

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.

How are plant medicines different from modern pharmaceutical drugs? Many legal drugs today come with serious costs like dependency, debilitating side effects, withdrawals and even worse.

Kava Cam, a researcher, writer and entrepreneur who founded the company TRU KAVA.

If you've ever had negative side effects from a prescription drug—hands up—this is the show for you. We're chatting about... Why Cameron went 12 days without food The psychological and medicinal benefits of kava The importance of honoring traditional preparations of plant medicines (instead of solvent extractions) Negative effects of commonly prescribed pharmaceuticals on brain chemistry and what t

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. The truth is, ruminants like cows are a critical part of a thriving ecosystem. By working with nature (instead of against it), regenerative agriculture holds incredible promise for healing the planet while feeding our communities real food. So I'm pleased to say that joining me on the show today is Eric Perner, cattle rancher, Professional Mechanical Engineer, and co-founder of REP Provisions. Eric owns the Double P Ranch in Mounds, Oklahoma where they raise grass-fed beef and pastured pork, and educate other ranchers about restoration grazing, increasing soil biodiversity, and the holistic management of land and cattle for regenerating native grasslands. You're going to dig this show. We're talking about: The critical difference between monocrops and regenerative agriculture How to work with nature (instead of again

How can we lose fat WITHOUT hunger? 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. And fortunately for all of us, Gary has dedicated his work as of late to tearing down conventional nutritional theory with his research lectures and books, including a few titles, you've probably heard of, “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” “Why We Get Fat,” “The Case Against Sugar,” and his new book that we'll be talking about today, “The Case for Keto.” If you're ready to finally ditch hunger and transform into a fat-burning machine, this is the show for you.

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 Fitnes

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. Nothing wrong with shaking things up on purpose. Sometimes the only way to beat a rigged game is to rig it harder, find that bug. 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...

Do you have any bad habits? Why is it that sometimes we find ourselves repeating undesirable behaviors despite our best attempts to change? Well, in an age when our communication has been degraded to typing with our thumbs and screaming into silly smart devices, human relationships it seems, are suddenly in jeopardy. So how can we turn down our anxiety, reprogram our brains and work with our brain chemistry to create the positive changes we actually want in our lives? If you've ever been derailed by your inner monkey or dealt with existential angst, this show is for you. Returning to the podcast today is one of my favorite people to talk to, Loretta Breuning, PhD.

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.

How are you doing out there? I know it's been a rough year for a lot of us, but while some people simply get bowled over by the trauma, chaos and failure others simply seem to get stronger.

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

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 Mis
