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 profitWhy observational studies on diet and health are misleading and are often weaponized for political and financial gainHow mainstream media and religious groups manipulate nutritional science to control public healthWhy the government masks the true cost of inflation resulting from severing ties to the gold standardWhy the public school system deprives kids of proper nutritionAnd much more…Read the show notes:  https://fatburningman.com/matthew-lysiak-how-money-printing-destroys-our-health-and-enables-endless-war/ Grab the excellent book "Fiat Food" by Matthew Lysiak at   https://www.amazon.com/Fiat-Food-Inflation-Destroyed-Bitcoin-ebook/dp/B0CKC4LD8LCome join the Abel James Substack channel and leave a quick comment so that we can connect.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.

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 addictiveHow artificial blue light alters our production of dopamine and disrupts our circadian rhythmWhy surveillance resistant devices are the way of the futureThe potential for innovative technology to enhance rather than detract from our wellbeing And much more…Read the show notes:  https://fatburningman.com/anjan-katta-creating-a-computer-thats-actually-good-for-us/ Go to DaylightComputer.com to order your very own Daylight Computer tablet.Come join the Abel James Substack channel and leave a quick comment so that we can connect.Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow on X: https://x.com/abeljames Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus 

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 diseasesWhy it's a problem that nutrition science is funded largely by food manufacturers, and healthcare research is funded by pharmaceutical companiesHow the complexity and confusion surrounding health and wellness is intentional as it creates a need for external experts and productsWhy the profit-driven healthcare system prioritizes managing chronic diseases over curing them leading to widespread metabolic dysfunction and premature mortalityHow to optimize your metabolic function with simple and inexpensive lifestyle strategiesAnd much more…Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-casey-means-solving-for-the-root-cause-of-the-metabolic-health-crisis/Learn more and grab your very own copy the new book "Good Energy" by Dr. Casey Means at https://www.caseymeans.com/goodenergyJoin The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

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 establishmentHow flawed dietary guidelines in the 1970s recommended high-carb diets for heart health without evidenceWhy the modern push for plant-based diets is based on bad science and misconceived journalismWhy 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…Read the show notes:  https://fatburningman.com/gary-taubes-unintended-consequences-of-weight-loss-wonder-drugs/ Check out and support Gary Taubes at unsettledscience.substack.comJoin The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

Are your training methods preventing injury or causing them? Why do some athletic pursuits lead to disordered eating, orthorexia, and body image issues? As the years tick by, how can we move the goalposts to make sure we’re training for the right reasons? One of my favorite things about hosting this podcast for the past 12 years is the chance to revisit with guests in different stages of their lives. Long time listeners first met my friend Chaz a little more than a decade ago. Chaz Branham is a venture capitalist, athlete and lifelong health nut, who you may remember back in 2013 entered in the Texas Shredder Classic, his first bodybuilding competition, on a dare—and did ridiculously well and even earned a spot on the podium by using a fat-based approach (quite unique at the time). This dude is a life-long athlete and beast. Back then in his mid-twenties, Chaz was fresh off his first bodybuilding competition, where he achieved an astonishing 3.5% body fat naturally and earned his place on the podium. Now in his late 30’s, it’s fascinating to examine how our lives and goals have changed. On this episode with Chaz, you’ll discover: How Chaz navigated body image issues and disordered eating patterns following a successful bodybuilding competition How to adjust your training and goals in the face of serious injury Why some ultra-marathoners show no signs of degeneration or injury after a lifetime of running What it’s like to experiment in the Wild West world of peptides And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/chaz-branham-how-to-overcome-catastrophic-injury-with-the-eldoa-method/ Join The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

Are you a nose-breather or a mouth-breather? I sat down for lunch recently with a few old friends, and one of them asked: “Abel, what is the most underrated performance hack in health and fitness?” I said without hesitation, “nasal breathing.” When you learn to harness the power of the breath, you can rewire your entire nervous system, which has vast implications for your health, performance, and even your personality. The state of our nervous system directly impacts our quality of life and ability to enjoy life's challenges. Today we’re here with one of the OG’s of alternative health and natural movement, the creator of MovNat and Breathholdwork, our friend Erwan Le Corre. Erwan is known as the "Godfather of Natural Movement" and is author of "The Practice of Natural Movement." No slouch, Erwan holds a US National Record in static breath-holding with a 7 minutes 29 seconds performance. His personal best breath hold currently sits at 8 minutes 03 seconds! This episode is both practical and deeply existential, with questions like: “Are we spiritual beings having a human experience, or humans having a spiritual experience?” I hope you dig this one. On this episode, you’ll discover: How Erwan developed and practiced the ability to hold his breath for 8 minutes (!!!) Why hyperventilation leads to sympathetic dominance, which can be detrimental to well-being Why developing physical capability is a moral responsibility How to manage your mindset to become more resilient and thrive under stress The physical, emotional, and mental consequences of breathwork How to achieve a state of peace, trust, and love through regulating your nervous system.

Do you ever find yourself bottling up your emotions instead of speaking your mind? We all experience horrible feelings like anxiety, stress, inadequacy, doubt, and confusion, and most of us spend our entire lives trying to run from them. In fact, research shows that many of us would rather withstand electrical shocks than sit with our own thoughts. But our guest today reminds us that these painful feelings are not here to torment us. They are calling us into our next level of power. We’re here with Dr. Julia DiGangi, a neuropsychologist, founder of NeuroHealth Partners, and author of “Energy Rising: The Neuroscience of Leading with Emotional Power.” Dr. DiGangi shows people how to harness the power of the brain to lead more satisfying and emotionally intelligent lives. Dr. DiGangi completed her residency at Harvard Medical School, Boston University School of Medicine, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, and has spent nearly two decades studying the connection between our brains and our behavior, working with leaders at The White House Press Office, global companies, international NGOs, and the US Special Forces.

You’ve likely heard the buzz around photobiomodulation, but can light exposure significantly improve sleep, recovery, and performance? Well, there are more than 15,000 studies exploring photobiomodulation as a healing modality, but despite an abundance of research, the effects of light for our health has been largely overlooked in the past few decades. Now we’re becoming more aware of how artificial light can disrupt our circadian rhythm, but certain wavelengths of infrared and near infrared light used therapeutically can also have profound positive effects on our performance and overall well being. And as we’ll discuss today, the uses for near infrared light go beyond health, to explore deeper mysteries in our cosmos. I’m honored to be here with Bjørn Ekeberg, author of the groundbreaking book "Metaphysical Experiments," and Co-founder and CEO of Recharge Health, the creators of the world's first targeted infrared therapy device—the FlexBeam. This episode with Bjørn gets heady, you’re going to dig this one. We're chatting about: How to use near infrared light for rapid healing, deep meditation and down regulating our nervous system before sleep Why athletes are using red light for recovery How to counter the negative effects of artificial blue light Why cosmology and our understanding of the nature of the universe is in a crisis How near infrared is used to peer deeper into the cosmos And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/bjorn-ekeberg-near-infrared-and-red-light-therapy-for-performance-recovery/ Check out and support Bjørn Ekeberg at recharge.health Join The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/fatburningman Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

How do ancient myths and legends shape our virtues? What are the cognitive benefits of listening to and telling stories?

Today I’m honored to be here with the one and only Odds Bodkin, Master Storyteller in the Bardic Tradition, published author, educator, and award-winning recording artist who has been mesmerizing audiences since 1982. I first saw Odds Bodkin perform more than 30 years ago in New Hampshire when I was about 7 or 8 years old, and I have never seen a better storyteller in my life. In fact, Odds was a big part of inspiring me to write and perform music as my first career. And to this day, Odds’ storytelling continues to captivate us on long road trips and we’ll often listen to his stories before bed, which is a wonderful way to spark vivid dreams, and far better for your brain than a Netflix binge.

Does printing a cartoon character on the front of a box of cereal change the way that it tastes? The answer is a resounding yes. Marketing has deep and profound effects on our perception, and food manufacturers use tactics like these to get us to crave, buy and consume more and more ultra processed food.

How do you feed your family when you're as poor as a churchmouse? To help celebrate the holidays, today we have a very special throwback episode for you with my grandmother Nan. When I first started this show, almost 13 years ago, I bought a cheap little video camera and interviewed Nan at her house because she's pretty much my favorite person in the universe. As many of you know, Nan's wisdom is ever present in our work, and especially my book, The Wild Diet. But who is Nan anyway? Well, Marion Bascom, affectionately known as Nan was a nurse, a Second Lieutenant in the US Army, and a city girl who married my grandfather, Horace, a dairy farmer, and took on the challenges of tending to a dairy farm, organic garden and homestead while raising 7 children.

Have you ever heard that dramatically under-eating or chronically starving yourself will lead to increased longevity? I've seen multiple media reports claiming that undereating by 20% or 30% of your daily caloric needs will add years to your lifespan. Thankfully, it's not true. In fact, starving yourself of food, especially protein, could actually reduce your lifespan. So what are the lifestyle practices that actually drive longevity? To help separate fact from fiction, I'm thrilled that returning to the show today is our good buddy Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, powerlifting champion, and now a 2x New York Times best-selling author, co-host of Healthy Rebellion Radio, and the co-founder of DrinkLMNT Electrolytes.

Where does music come from? And why does it play such an enormous role in our lives? In my first book, The Musical Brain, I admitted that, “If I didn't have music, I'd be certified insane.” And I stand by it. Music taps into the brain, the heart and the soul like nothing else. And today I'm thrilled to welcome to the show, Wayne Altman, a U.S. Army Veteran, author, and creator of Melody Clouds.

Do you buy the carnivore theory that plants are trying to kill us and we should avoid eating all plant matter? What about the vegetarian argument that we should never ever eat meat? If you take anything away from this show, make it this: always take extremism, hysteria and dogmatism with a grain of salt. As the blogosphere and personalized RSS feeds have been replaced by superficial social media channels in an algorithmic race to the bottom, the modern internet, it seems, is rapidly devolving into a cesspool that rewards extremism, gimmickry and one-way thinking.

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack? When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own. And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart. If you're looking for life-long health and quality of life, a supportive approach that identifies and treats the root cause and shifts your body into a healing state is essential. So I'm pleased that joining us on the show today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, a New York Times bestselling author and integrative pharmacist, dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions.

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real. But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future. So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0.

When was the last time you felt anxious, depressed or stressed out? If you're thinking “Right now! This moment. Today, yesterday, most days,” you're definitely not alone. It happens to everyone. You get stressed, you start breathing wrong, and the day gets away from you. Most of us would agree that we've never seen people, especially in the western world, more sick and stressed out than right now. And more and more, it's unfortunate to see the younger generation suffering. Our tech-heavy environment is simply out of alignment with our genetics, but there's plenty we can do to correct that imbalance. And the good news is that it only takes a few minutes to calm your mind, find your center and get into that flow state where everything becomes effortless. And to show us how, today, I'm honored to be here with Lee Holden, a doctor of Chinese medicine, author and internationally celebrated Qi Gong master who has devoted over 25+ years to helping others learn and benefit from the powerful principles of Qi Gong. Holden has taught his practice to the NFL, NHL, Olympic athletes, royal families, and even Adam Sandler. This episode with Lee Holden is very packed and concentrated with information, I hope you dig it. You're about to hear: Why a relaxed state achieved through Qi Gong will help you shed fat more efficiently Tips for longevity and antiaging from a 106-year-old teacher How to balance our energy and escape the wired and tired cycle How athletes can easily tap into the flow state and bring their best energy to their sport Increasing productivity by scheduling 3-minute breathing breaks Why rest days are essential to peak performance in athletics How to recover with stress management practices that replenish your energy And tons, tons more...

Thanks so much for joining us on Fat-Burning Man where we talk about how to avoid becoming The Borg. Have you ever measured the dirty electricity and electromagnetic pollution emanating from your smart devices at all times? You don’t need me to tell you that modern humans are tethered to technology to an astonishing degree. But for unspecified reasons, electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, and the many health issues that they create are too often hidden from the conversation. Do you keep your phone in your pocket or use your laptop on your lap? We are the first humans ever to microwave our nether regions on a daily basis. That is no bueno. So what effects do EMFs really have on our bodies? The answer will raise a few eyebrows. And we have the perfect guest for you today. We’re here with Justin Frandson, an author and Athleticism Performance Coach who has worked with amateur and professional athletes for over two decades. After watching his athletes’ health break down, Justin began to test clients in their homes for dirty technology and now works to help reduce EMF pollution for optimal health. If you use a phone, have a WiFi router in your house, or any smart devices whatsoever, you’ll want to listen to this show. We’re talking about: Surprising ways artificial EMFs impact our health and what to do about it Tips for minimizing dirty electricity in your home Invisible stressors contributing to low testosterone and infertility The dangers of high tech green energy Why you should never put your laptop on your lap Easy ways to save cell phone battery and avoid surveillance marketing at the same time And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/justin-frandson-surprising-ways-artificial-emfs-impact-our-health-and-what-to-do-about-it/ For curated health and performance products from Justin Frandson, head over to Athleticism.com.

Are you a little bit confused about exactly what is healthy and what isn't? In a sea of disinformation, marketing hype and rage bait, combined with aggressive censorship of researchers, doctors and health professionals, finding your way to the truth isn't easy. Over the past few years, the internet has been hijacked by cowardly, unelected overlords who shadowban, censor and silence us in a sad attempt to dumb us down and keep us in the dark. But what if these tech platforms, instead of intentionally distracting and demoralizing us, were actually used as a force for good? Returning to the show this week is our friend Ben Azadi, a bestselling author, health coach, award-winning podcast host and founder of Keto Kamp. In 2008, Ben went through a personal health transformation, shedding an incredible 80 pounds and completely transforming his health. Now he helps teach other people how to do exactly the same thing and live a healthier lifestyle. So I think you're going to like this one. On this show with Ben Azadi, we're chatting about: How to maintain mental and physical health in a sea of censorship, disinformation and rage bait Tips for reprogramming your own patterns to be more in sync with natural rhythms One simple daily practice with proven results to reduce inflammation What to look out for when buying keto products How to build intellectual freedom to create meaning in our lives And a whole lot more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/ben-azadi-how-to-build-mental-and-physical-health-in-strange-times/ Get books, podcasts, coaching and more from Ben Azadi by visiting BenAzadi.com.

How do store-bought fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, you might ask, match up against the kind you can make at home? Well, most of the yogurts and "fermented foods" you find in the grocery store are unfortunately sorely lacking in the live nutrients department. But when you eat the real thing, a food that's been fermented the right way for the right amount of time, you can tell that it's alive. It's burbling and fizzing, and when you eat it you can feel that it's actually doing something for you. There's a magic as well as a host of health benefits to the ancient low-cost methods of fermenting our foods. So, what is the difference between homemade and store-bought? Well, it gets a little bit into the weeds. But thankfully, today we're here with a specialist. Joining us on the show is our dear friend, the wonderful and talented Tammy Brill, a noted scientist and educator in the field of gut health and fermented foods. After nearly 30 years of teaching as a microbiology instructor and university lab supervisor for biology and chemistry labs, Tammy shifted gears to become a health coach and master fermenter. Tammy is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and an entrepreneur who started Fermented Delights, bringing homemade fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kvass, and more to farmers markets all around Pennsylvania. On this show with Tammy Brill, we are chatting about: What happened when Tammy had her microbiology class look at homemade yogurt and cafeteria yogurt under the microscope Tips about longevity for your pets (coming from someone who has a 23-year-old cat and two 13-year-old dogs) A healthy food swap when you're stressed and want something crunchy Beginner-friendly fermented foods The gut-brain connection And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/tammy-brill-homemade-yogurt-vs-cafeteria-yogurt-under-the-microscope/ You can find Tammy Brill on her website FermentedDelightsAndMore.com.

Have you ever seen a dog that's a spitting image of its owner? The resemblance can be hilariously uncanny, but beyond similarities in affectation, gait and overall goofiness, we find time and time again that the health of our pets is often reflective of the health of their caretakers. Having dogs or pets around has been an integral part of the human experience for ages. But do you know what the biologically appropriate diet really is for your furry friend? If you've been following Fat-Burning Man for a while, you may have come across a post or two about my dog, Bailey the Labrador retriever, who has miraculously survived many near death experiences, including getting hit by a car, falling off a small cliff, stung by a scorpion, bit in the face by a rattler, and several mild to major poisonings of various kinds. But like a cat, she continues to survive. We’ve attributed her miraculous resistance to injury over the years to the way that she's been fed, an extremely nutrient-dense diet. And today's guest was actually very influential in the way that we started feeding our dog over 10 years ago now. We are here with Dr. Ian Billinghurst, a veterinary surgeon with over 40 years of experience. He's also a nutritionist, acupuncturist, agricultural scientist, lecturer, nutritional consultant, raw pet food producer, and author of multiple excellent books, including The BARF Diet. Whether you have pets or not, I hope this show is very helpful to you. We're chatting about: Strange similarities between human health and the health of our pets Things doctors and veterinarians are paid not to know What a biologically appropriate diet for our pets really looks like Why you should give your dog a bone How to avoid cancer in dogs and cats And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-ian-billinghurst-strange-similarities-between-human-health-the-health-of-our-pets/ Learn more from Dr. Billinghurst at DrIanBillinghurst.com and claim your free sample of Gussy's Gut at GussysGut.com.

When was the last time you had a proper bone broth soup? You know, the slow-cooked kind that gets you all the old fashioned, real food vitamins, minerals and goodness out of big old bones and joints. Well, thankfully, getting your broth on doesn't have to mean stinking up your kitchen or garage with boiling oxtails and chicken feet. In the past few years, we found innovative ways to get the nutrition of bone broth into foods that can be a lot more convenient and fun to eat. So today we're here with Melissa Boloña, an actress and entrepreneur who created Beauty & the Broth. We're chatting about: Why a good broth can raise the dead How a good old-fashioned bone broth is different from modern cubes of concentrated salt and MSG How to get the benefits of bone broth without spending days prepping and cooking Why couch co-op video games can actually be good for relationships And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/melissa-bolona-why-a-good-broth-can-raise-the-dead/ Try Melissa Boloña's organic bone broth concentrates for yourself at https://thebeautyandthebroth.com/ Join The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman And click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

How often do you exercise? Does it surprise you to learn that 3 out of 4 of us humans don't exercise at all, at least not on a regular basis? I'm sure draconian government interventions that outlawed group exercise, shuttered gyms and small businesses and all of that, certainly didn't help matters or our trajectory overall. But the way I see it, you have to find ways of making working out fun. And you also have to do your best to not get sidelined by injury, overtraining, or burnout. So joining us on the show today is the perfect guest to help you work exercise into your busy life. Adam Sedlack is a fitness industry veteran with more than 3 decades of leadership expertise, and the president and cofounder of UFC Gym.
