Deciphering the impact of our dietary choices on our own health, social and cultural discrepancies, and the future of the environment, is increasingly challenging among the mass of information that most of us face daily. There is a case for eating beef that offers an opportunity for environmental restoration, preservation of traditional cultural practices, and an equal chance at health for as many populations as possible. Today's guest, Robb Wolf, has done the research, isolated the facts, and uncovered revelations that debunk years of dietary dogma. You'll learn: Crucial considerations that may be at odds with common nutritional propaganda. What industrial, monocropped food systems mean for the future of the planet. How consciously raising livestock can actually reverse climate change. Why the direction of Big Food hits those near the bottom of the socio-economic ladder the hardest. The dangers and dispassion behind the movement to eliminate global traditional food systems. Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, is the New York Times & WSJ Best Selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat. Robb's newest book is Sacred Cow, co-authored by Diana Rodgers, R.D.

Interested in connecting to your subconscious intelligence? What about accessing deeper peace, creativity, intuition... and ultimately, the answers to navigate your own life's journey? It may surprise you that these states of heightened consciousness are truly accessible for everyone. Today's guest, Judith Pennington, combines the practices of deepening consciousness with the neuroscience of brain wave states to forge a path to true healing and personal transformation. Judith is the founder of the Institute for the Awakened Mind, centered around electroencephalographic (EEG) biofeedback meditation for conscious evolution. This conversation between Ben and Judith is perfectly tuned in to the possibilities for reflective practices at the year's end! Listen and learn: Immediate techniques to induce alpha brain waves states for awareness and healing. How to become more conscious of your decisions. The importance of mental and sensory associations to ground yourself into a peaceful state. Why intention is so vital to energetic practices. Tools to bring yourself into a parasympathetic, theta brain wave state. A breakdown of brain wave states from Judith's Mind Mirror Portal: Beta (38-14 Hz): conscious, external awareness. Logical thought and intellect. Often indicative of stress and anxiety in its highest frequencies and amplitudes. Alpha (14-8 Hz): a relaxed awareness, shifting towards internal states. Activated in visualization and imagination. The "bridge" that connects the conscious and subconscious mind. Theta (8-4 Hz): subconscious; long-term memory and dreaming; intuition and spiritual insight. Connection to the core of the psyche and soul. Delta (4-0.5 Hz): unconscious mind; portal to universal consciousness; deep restorative sleep state. Gamma (30-100 Hz): superconscious awareness of peace and transcendence; triggered by love, compassion, and high amplitude delta/theta. Associated with spiritual ecstasy and neurogenesis/neuroplasticity.

Dr. Datis Kharrazian has spent decades paving a new way to health and wellness within the space of autoimmunity, long before the terms "gut microbiome" and "neuro-inflammation" were widely used. Today, Dr. Kharrazian's understanding of neurological biomarkers, triggering environmental pollutants, and repopulation of the intestinal flora influences his highly-individualized approach to treatment which helps patients regain their vitality. Enhancing brain health and balancing autoimmune function are critical considerations for everyone, regardless of age or current health status. Ben and Dr. Kharrazian debunk common health misconceptions and cover everything from the downstream effects of cortisol dysregulation, to how to make your home less toxic. Here's what you'll learn: Steps to IMMEDIATELY reduce the chemical load in your home and enhance your digestive health. The athlete-autoimmune connection that is often missed. The ONE compound that offers a huge boost to brain health. The importance of detoxification and autophagy (and how to support these processes). How you can optimize anti-inflammatory pathways of neuroglia (supporting brain cells) through KEY changes to your diet and lifestyle.

"What are the fundamental programmed roots of your subconscious that gave rise to the identity of who you think you are, that is the precursor to all your thoughts, feelings, actions... and now, the outcome that you have?" -Peter Crone.

Where you can start overcoming nature's tendencies. How focus in training can transition into the rest of your life. Why a specific state of mind matches up with everything you do in the gym. Tune in for Ben's next Masterclass webinar on Advanced Muscle Building: September 23rd and 25th! Click here to get on the waitlist. This Masterclass will cover: The 12-Anabolic Levers.

The key factors outside of the gym to optimize health, energy, focus, performance, and recovery. Effective programming for consistent progress. ======= Sponsor: BiOptimizers One of the big keys to optimal health is to have balanced blood sugar. But what happens when you eat a donut? Your pancreas releases insulin, which tells your body there is plenty of energy so now is the time to store fat. But here's the thing. It doesn't matter whether you eat a donut or drink a glass of orange juice. Low-fiber processed carbohydrates from crackers to chips to cookies to juice all have a similar effect on blood sugar. When you take in a lot of carbs too quickly — without much fiber or fat to slow down absorption — you could experience what we call a "sugar crash," which leads to low energy, brain fog, and weight gain. And due to the addictive nature of sugar and carbs, once your body brings your blood sugar levels back down, that's when the cravings kick in! And if you give in to those cravings, it starts the cycle all over again. So I hope you can see how important it is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The question is, how do you do it? Well, one way is to reduce your intake of processed carbohydrates and make sure you eat fat, protein, fiber, and greens at most meals. But no one is perfect. We all cheat sometimes. So it just makes sense to have a way to maintain healthy blood sugar day in, day out, even if you have an "off" day. That's why I recommend a product called Blood Sugar Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. This easy to take supplement is the result of numerous tests to find the absolute best formula for maintaining healthy blood sugar. In fact, BiOptimizers went through 5 different formulations before landing on this one. Blood Sugar Breakthrough works to safely lower blood sugar after meals so that you can maintain a healthy weight and redirect carbs to your muscles where they can be burned for energy. This means you'll avoid the worst effects of high blood sugar — like weight gain — while enjoying more stable energy, mental clarity, and fewer cravings. For an exclusive offer for listeners, just go to www.bloodsugarbreakthrough.health/muscle and save 10 percent with code MUSCLE10 when you try Blood Sugar Breakthrough.

But what happens when you eat a donut? Your pancreas releases insulin, which tells your body there is plenty of energy so now is the time to store fat. But here's the thing. It doesn't matter whether you eat a donut or drink a glass of orange juice. Low-fiber processed carbohydrates from crackers to chips to cookies to juice all have a similar effect on blood sugar. When you take in a lot of carbs too quickly — without much fiber or fat to slow down absorption — you could experience what we call a "sugar crash," which leads to low energy, brain fog, and weight gain. And due to the addictive nature of sugar and carbs, once your body brings your blood sugar levels back down, that's when the cravings kick in! And if you give in to those cravings, it starts the cycle all over again. So I hope you can see how important it is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. The question is, how do you do it? Well, one way is to reduce your intake of processed carbohydrates and make sure you eat fat, protein, fiber, and greens at most meals. But no one is perfect. We all cheat sometimes. So it just makes sense to have a way to maintain healthy blood sugar day in, day out, even if you have an "off" day. That's why I recommend a product called Blood Sugar Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. This easy to take supplement is the result of numerous tests to find the absolute best formula for maintaining healthy blood sugar. In fact, BiOptimizers went through 5 different formulations before landing on this one. Blood Sugar Breakthrough works to safely lower blood sugar after meals so that you can maintain a healthy weight and redirect carbs to your muscles where they can be burned for energy. This means you'll avoid the worst effects of high blood sugar — like weight gain — while enjoying more stable energy, mental clarity, and fewer cravings.

If you use the link www.bloodsugarbreakthrough.health/muscle, your exclusive 10% discount will already be applied. ====== www.muscleintelligence.com - The world's leading resource on intelligent muscle building.

Our new guest, Stefanos (Stef) Sifandos, brings a wealth of knowledge, experience and transparency to the conversation about intimacy, masculinity, self awareness and communication styles. This conversation sheds light on how to make the necessary identity shifts through exploring limiting beliefs and our shadows; how to harness deeper connection through self-awareness, vulnerability, and relationship intimacy; healthy vs toxic masculinity; and most importantly, how listeners might best implement these transformational practices into their lives.

Your mindset is determined by the quality of questions you ask yourself on a daily basis. On this episode, Ben shares the list of questions he asks himself everyday with the intention to spark innovation, creativity and / or growth. When you ask better questions, you get better answers, so we urge you to carve out time to sit with and consider these questions. Ben then discusses why most people that we follow and admire are wrong, and why that happens. More importantly, he shares what you can do to create change and a simple perspective shift that can bring you into a more sovereign and intentional place. Next, Ben explains his frustration around muscle building and fat loss transformations and how the industry has it completely wrong. It's a broken paradigm that needs repairing, and he proposes how to help listeners better understand the key takeaways and how we can all be part of the solution. Finally, we've been getting requests from our listeners about wanting a step-by step course on how to build muscle. We want you to know that we've heard you and will be delivering it to you shortly. This is a simple and effective course that covers all the basics of muscle building, and the most important tenants of intermediate and advanced skills, processes and habits.
