What should we eat? When and how should we eat it? These are questions that every single generation of humans spanning across hundreds of thousands of years have pondered and debated. In modern times, it’s arguable that even with all the progression in metabolic biochemistry, physiology, and the culinary arts, we’re further from a practical application of human nutrition than ever. 3/4 of us are overweight or obese,1/3 of us are pre-diabetic or diabetic, and almost 9/10 of us have some form of metabolic syndrome. All the while, we spend more per capita on healthcare than ever. This is an indictment of our modern food system. This is an unacceptable failure. In this week's Free Fatty Friday, Geoffrey Woo claims and defines the term "modern nutrition." He talks the history, the evolution, the application of nutrition, and how we move humanity forward with an enlightened approach to modern nutrition. H.V.M.N.

Geoff and Brian Muraresku, the best-selling author of “The Immortality Key” discuss the provocative theory of psychedelics at the heart of the Ancient Greek and Roman mysteries, early Christianity, and Western Civilization. This isn't a college dorm-room stoner talk. Brian spent over 12 years studying the ancient classics in their original form of Ancient Greek, exploring the Vatican's Secret Archives and underground catacombs, and tying the historical record with the latest analytical and spectral analysis techniques of archaeochemistry to demonstrate a rigorous look at the hypothesis that psychedelics was at the heart of both Greek & Roman mysteries and paleo-Christian eucharist. If this is all true, what does this imply for the future of our civilization and culture?

In this episode, Geoffrey Woo speaks with Mansal Denton, the founder of Sacred Hunting, an entrepreneur, author, and explorer of our relationship to life and death through hunting. Mansal is on a fascinating journey — from making an early mistake that landed him in jail to paying his debts to society to being an early thought leader in the nootropics community to now defining "Sacred Hunting" which is his combination of hunting, ancestral tradition, a masculine rite of passage, plant medicine & psychedelics, and spirituality. Struggling with shame and confusion of what it meant to be a man, Mansal found his calling with the sacred art of hunting and desires to share this practice with more men to build confidence, and step into manhood in the path of our ancestors. This is a wide-ranging and interesting philosophical exploration. Enjoy!

How do we apply this idea to our daily lives? Geoff talks about applying compounding to (1) health, (2) people, and (3) ideas.
