For the podcast this week, we discuss natural methods to cure heart burn. The current recommendation for heart burn treatment revolves around the acid suppression theory which states that heart burn is caused by too much stomach acid. This is wrong. Heart burn occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter, which when open allows food to enter our stomach, remains open when it's supposed to close. This allows stomach acid to reflux back into the esophagus which causes pain and discomfort.
Giving acid suppressing medication only treats the symptoms of heart burn, to truly cure this condition you need to add acid back to the stomach not remove it. This will trigger the lower esophageal sphincter to close and remain closed while your stomach digest meals.
The best ways to do this are supplementing with HCL pills which replace what the stomach naturally creates or you can supplement with vinegar around your normal meal times. To learn more about why heart burn isn't caused by too much stomach acid and methods to cure it naturally, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discussed how the potent one two combo of increased light exposure from artificial sources as well as lower intake of high quality vitamin A is leading to increases in cases of night blindness.
The best ways to help save your eyesight are to wear blue light blocking glasses in the evening as well as increases your dietary intake of vitamin A. The source of dietary vitamin A really matters. Plant based vitamin A, beta carotene is only partially converted into true vitamin A retinol therefore the best way to make sure you're getting enough vitamin A in your diet is by eating enough animal sourced foods paired with enough fat to help metabolize the vitamin A fully.
To learn more about vitamin A and why it's so important to get enough in your diet, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss why certain people start to lose hair at an accelerated rate when they start a low carb diet. This can be very alarming for obvious reasons, however, the type of hair loss that occurs when you start a ketogenic diet is called telogen effluvium. This isn't true permanent hair loss. This is shedding of hair at an accelerated rate. The hair will start to grow back eventually. So, there's no need to panic and no reason to stop your new healthy diet. To learn more about why this happens and how you can stop it from happening in the first place, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article that looked into the effectiveness of blood flow restriction (BFR) training for endurance athletes. This paper showed that BFR endurance training rated the highest in perceived effort compared to traditional high intensity interval training (HIIT), meaning it resulted in the most discomfort by the end of the experiment. However, compared to normal HIIT training, BFR used less oxygen and these subjects had a lower overall HR. This means the BFR group did less work overall. These studies show that BFR can be used as an addition to your endurance training routines, but most likely traditional endurance exercises and HIIT will offer the most benefit.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the mental health crisis affecting the entire world. To truly put this epidemic in perspective, let's go over some of the numbers of people effected by mental health across the world. It's estimated that 322 million people have depression, that's the size of USA! Depression is the #1 cause of disability in the world. 800,000 people per year commit suicide which is the #2 cause of death for young people.
Is there anything we can do about this? Why is this happening? I believe we should look into our diets to see if there's a link between our food intake and our mental health.
The Standard American diet is high carb, high in processed fats, and high in processed foods in general which are low in vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and quality proteins.
It's known that a poor diet leads to insulin resistance.
Is there a link between insulin resistance and mental health? Let's look.
People with depression are 37% more likely to have diabetes.
People with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are 300% more likely to have type 2 diabetes.
80% of Alzheimers patients are diabetic.
Now this doesn’t mean IR causes mental disorders, but we can draw some conclusions from this data. We can look at it deeper because we know what the brain needs to work optimally: Vitamins, minerals, fats, cholesterol.
⅔ of the brain is fat.
20% of fat in the brain is DHA.
20% of the bodies cholesterol is in the brain.
Plant food contain no DHA, no cholesterol, and are low in bioavailable vitamins and minerals.
To learn more about the mental health crisis and how the rise of the plant based diet is leading to more cases of mental health disorders, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article which outlines the Lancet’s recent change on the origin of the Covid-19 virus. It now believes it’s okay to discuss the lab leak theory. This theory states that the Covid virus was man made and was leaked from a lab in China. We chose this article specifically to talk about censorship in the scientific community and to talk about who “fact checks” the fact checkers.
This is extremely important because in order for the scientific community to make any real differences, it has to be able to challenge the current dogma without fear of being “canceled” or dismissed as a conspiracy theorist. But, the current academic climate doesn’t allow any opinions that aren’t in line with the popular narrative to gain any traction, even if that opinion is backed up with strong science. To learn more about why this current climate is causing issues and why the “fact checkers” need to be checked themselves, listen to this week’s podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss how, when, and why you should incorporate some sort of fasting into your daily routine. There are so many benefits to fasting that it would be impossible to list them all, but there are two big benefits that we discuss in the podcast. The first one is overall weight loss, which most people are looking for. The second reason is that fasting also promotes a process called autophagy. This is cellular recycling in which your body goes through and breaks down old and broken cells and replaces them with new healthy cells.
Eating carbohydrates and processed foods constantly, which the standard American diet promotes, actually hinders your bodies ability to reap the benefits of autophagy therefore, changing your diet and incorporating some sort of fasting into your routine will allow your body to better heal from the normal stresses of daily life.
Fasting doesn't have to mean you don't eat or drink for days on end. A very simple and easy way to incorporate fasting into your daily routine is to do some sort of intermittent fast. The most common version is the 16:8 method. This means you eat all your meals in a 8 hour window and the other 16 hours of the day you don't eat any food. During this window you are allowed fluids that contain no or very few calories. Drinks like water, coffee or tea without added sugar or creamer are perfectly fine.
To learn more about why you should fast and the easiest ways to implement it into your daily routine, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss a study that promotes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as the world's healthiest food, claiming they can add 33 minutes to your life with every serving. This study also claims that hotdogs are the worst food to eat and has the ability to take 36 minutes off of your life. This is complete BS!
I wouldn't recommend people eat too many hotdogs as it is, mainly because of what people eat with hotdogs. They are usually paired with a sugar filled pastry masking itself as a bun. On the same plate, you will usually find some chips and the hotdog will be washed down with a soda or maybe some sugary tea. The worst thing about this proposed meal is everything besides the hotdog! The hotdog itself contains high quality protein, meaning it contains a complete amino acid profile and has those said amino acids in a highly bioavailable form and in their correct ratios. It also will contain essential fatty acids which our body needs to perform optimally.
So in my opinion, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are way worse than hotdogs. PB&J's contain a ton of sugar, very low quality proteins and contain a ton of the fat, linoelic acid. This is an omega 6 fat that when eaten in excess, can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction, which is the root cause of the vast majority of diseases of western civilization. Things like heart disease, cancer and diabetes to name a few.
To learn more about this paper and why it's complete trash, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss Tom's experience running 100 miles in 34 hours. This truly was a gargantuan physical feet. Very few people on earth have ever attempted to run 1oo miles continuously so we thought it would be good for Tom to discuss his journey, explain how he prepped for the race, and how he dealt with adversity during the race as well. At the end of the day the take home message when anyone attempts and accomplishes such a huge feat is that, anything is possible. Don't let anyone tell you what you can or can't do! If you have a big goal in mind, create a plan of attack and execute that plan. No matter what anyone says.

For the podcast this week, we continue our discussion of the book, Civilized to Death by Christopher Ryan. We dive into his opinions on how the civilized world deals with sex and how vastly different our ancient ancestors viewed sex.
Humans are commonly compared to chimpanzees because they’re our closest relatives, genetically speaking. Therefore, scientists use their behavior to explain our behavior. Chimpanzees use tools and also partake in organized group conflict which is uncommon in the animal kingdom. The only other animal to do this is humans.
However, humans are just as closely related to another species, the bonobo. This group of chimpanzees rarely fight and use sex as a form of currency. They partake in various types of sexual acts and view it as a way to maintain a peaceful and functional environment for everyone.
So why shouldn’t humans be compared to bonobos when it comes to their views on sex? This is the question we discuss on this week’s podcast.

In the podcast this week, we discuss how the city of Berkeley, California is planning on reducing the amount of meat it purchases for city supplied meals with the goal of going completely plant based in the future. The reasons used to justify this move revolve around reducing the city's greenhouse gas emissions and the city's attempt to promote healthier meals.
Both of these reasons are complete shit! Animal agriculture is not a major contributor to total worldwide greenhouse gas emissions. In total, plant based agriculture contributes more carbon to the atmosphere than animal agriculture. Plant based meals are also lacking in too many essential vitamins and mineral compared to their animal based meals to be consider healthy, in my opinion. Some of the nutritional deficiencies in plant based meals include: Vitamin A, D, K, Choline, Creatine, Cholesterol, Carnitine and Zinc, just to name a few. You must include animal based sources of nutrition in your meals in order to get the optimum amount of these nutrients in your diet.
To learn more about why Berkeley is going vegan and why we think it's the wrong decision, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the book Civilized To Death by Christopher Ryan. For the last 140+ episodes of this podcast, we have discussed what humans should eat and how they should exercise in order to be their healthiest and strongest. However, we are very aware that there is another huge side of the equation that helps humans be their best selves and that's how they live and how they construct their personal environment. This encompasses their day to day lives, where they live and how they think.
This book outlines how humans live in a zoo of their own creation and for the most of us, this zoo sucks! The lives we live today are vastly different than the lives of our ancient ancestors. The rules we are forced to follow to fit into the so called "normal" way of life, don't allow most humans to live a healthy and fulfilling life.
The book Civilized To Death goes over all of this and more that's why we decided to discuss it this week. Hopefully this message helps people live a more happy and fulfilling life.

For the Article of The Week this week, we discuss an article that outlines how cows have the capacity to break down plastic in a natural way that is much faster and cleaner then the ways we currently deal with plastic recycling. The invention of plastic has been a blessing and a curse for our society. Plastic has allowed us to develop various containers and materials that make our modern lives possible but we didn't think about how we would dispose of all this plastic once people were done with it.
Our current solutions are not sustainable. We try to recycle some plastic but only a very small percentage is fully recycled. Most plastic is burned which releases harmful byproducts into the atmosphere or we simply bury the plastic and push our garbage problem onto the next generation. Neither of these solutions are sustainable, so finding natural ways to dispose of plastic is crucial for ensuring our world to shift towards more sustainable lifestyles. With that in mind, it was recently found that a bacteria in cows’ GI tract has the capacity to breakdown plastic. This is great news and gives us hope that sometime soon, we will have more natural and sustainable ways to deal with the excess plastic in today’s world.
To learn more about cows and how they are doing to help save our planet, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we end our conversation on covid. We will be discussing the prevalence of asymptomatic spread and looking into the data to see if lockdowns were effective in slowing the spread of covid, and if asymptomatic spread was so dramatic that it warranted mass testing and mass mask wearing across the world.
Asymptomatic spread is responsible for 6 - 7% of all covid cases. It is not the primary driver of covid spreading across the world. Therefore the narrative used to convince healthy people that they are sick is wrong and not based on accurate non biased science.
To learn more about asymptomatic spread and how someone can test positive for covid yet show no symptoms and learn what this means, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the safety data used to justify the mass vaccination of the world against the covid virus. The number most widely reported claiming the vaccines have a 90%+ efficacy is misleading. This number represents the relative risk reduction from vaccination, not the absolute risk reduction from catching and spreading covid.
Getting vaccinated doesn't mean you can't catch covid nor does it mean you can't spread covid if you do catch it. Vaccinated individuals can still catch covid and spread it if they do catch it. Vaccine safety data only measures the severity of the disease if caught, and vaccination is intended to lessen the severe outcomes from covid.
Only reporting the relative risk reduction from vaccination is misleading to the general public and makes the vaccines appear more effective than it really is. The absolute risk reduction of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are .7% and 1.1% respectively. These numbers are much lower than the numbers being reporting and the fact that these numbers are not reported should be a huge red flag to everyone. To learn more about this and more about the covid vaccine, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss an article in which a track athlete preparing for the olympics tested positive for steroids and then blamed the positive test on a tainted... pork burrito.
There is a common misconception that meat contains a lot of added hormones. This couldn't be further from the truth. If this track athlete was smart, she would have blamed her positive test result on quinoa or soy. Plants have way more hormones in them compared to meat.
12oz of Grain finished beef has 7.6ng of hormones in it while 3oz of tofu has 19,000,000ng of estrogen based hormones in it. Raw spinach has 975,000ng and quinoa has 27,000,000ng. As you can see, the amount of hormones in plants vastly outweighs the amount go hormones in meat.
Did you know the plants you're consuming contained so many hormones?
To learn more about hormones in meat vs plants, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the covid vaccine and some of the issues that have been associated with it. The covid pandemic has effected everyone around the world and the vaccine rollout has been the biggest vaccine rollout in history. Therefore, we thought it was appropriate to have a conversation about it and outline some of the mechanisms of the covid vaccine that might have caused some rare forms of clots to manifest. If you're interested to learn more about how covid gets into our body and how the vaccine works, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss an article that critiques the carnivore diet. If you didn't know the carnivore diet is a diet that consists of meat and meat alone. No added carbs from fruits or vegetables. This diet may seem controversial to some and especially to traditionally educated dietitians, but the carnivore diet has its roots in the evolution of our species. We are both fans of the carnivore diet, therefore, we didn't agree with this article and its critique of the diet. To learn more about why we are fans of the carnivore diet and why traditional dietitians don't like the carnivore diet, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the world's most nutrient dense food.. Meat! First let me define what nutrient density is. This is a term used to describe the nutrition profile of any given food. It encompasses the macro nutrients, meaning the amount and quality of the protein, fat and carbohydrates in the food as well as the micronutrients of the given food, meaning the quantity and quality of the vitamins and minerals in the given food.
When you gauge food on this scale, the cream rises to the top and it becomes obvious that meat is the most nutrient dense food on the planet. Not only is it a great source of the two essential macro nutrients, fat and protein, it is also a great source of vitamins and minerals. Out of all the known vitamins and minerals, meat contains the most nutrients except for Vitamin C and Vitamin E.
During the podcast, we discuss why these shortcomings for meat really aren't a deal breaker and explain why a properly formulated low carb diet actually requires less of these vitamins.
We finish the podcast outlining some of the nutrients that you will only find in meat. These include: Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin B9, B12, B6, Heme iron, Long chain omega 3 fats EPA and DHA, choline, carnitine, carnosine, cholesterol, and creatine. As you can see, this is a very long list of key nutrients that can only be found in animal sourced foods.

For this week's podcast, we discuss what makes the human foot unique. Compared to our closest relatives, humans have very unique features that allow us to specialize in bipedalism. We have an elongated mid foot with a limited range of motion and short toes. We walk from heal to toe, every other animal solely walks on their toes. This allows us to both sprint when needed as well as run for long distances. All of these features allowed humans to outrun and outlast most of the prey we hunted and turned us into apex predators.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the many benefits of eating an animal based diet. From an evolutionary perspective, eating a meat heavy diet was more advantageous compared to eating mainly plants. Today's society is loaded will easily acquired calories. There's a Starbucks or convenience store on every corner and you can get thousands of calories for a few dollars but this is a very unique time. For most of our evolution, the acquisition of calories was priority number one therefore we had to be efficient with how and what calories we acquired.
In nature, for humans, plant‐sourced calories cost 10 times the price of meat if it is available. Seasonal fluctuations in many plant species' hinder their reliability as a food source for a significant portion of the year. In contrast, animals are always available. They may get skinnier and fatter depending on the season but they are always available. Carnivory, therefore, would have been a more time‐efficient and reliable caloric source.
On top of that our guts are designed to eat meat. We have a very short colon and a very long small intestine. Human colons shrunk by 77% over the course of our evolution. We didn’t use our colon for fermenting because we didn’t have too. Most of our energy was from energy dense animal sources, which are absorbed in the small intestine therefore over time we slowly decreased the size of our colons.
The elongated small intestine is where sugars, proteins, and fats are absorbed. Sugars are absorbed faster in the small intestine than proteins and fats. Increased protein and fat consumption should have placed a higher selective pressure on increasing small intestine length. A long small intestine, relative to other gut parts, is also a dominant morphological pattern in carnivore guts.
This altered gut composition enables better animal food digestion but hinders plant food absorption.
This, and many other features of the human anatomy, show that humans evolved eating an animal based diet. To learn more about the benefits of eating meat and why humans evolved focusing on acquiring animal based calories, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we review an article that tries to outline the world's most nutritious foods. To no one's surprise we don't agree with this list at all. The top food on this list was almonds and the second most nutritious food was an exotic fruit called cherimoya.
Neither fruits nor almonds contain a complete amino acid profile, which any truly nutritious food would. Almonds are high in the omega 6 fat linoleic acid. Too much omega 6 fats in the diet has been linked to various health conditions including heart disease. So, any diet focusing on health would limit any excess linoleic acid as much as possible.
To counter act this list we made up a list of our top five most nutritious foods.
Muscle Meat Organ Meat Dairy/Colostrum Eggs Bone Broth
These five foods are all high quality sources of protein and fat and contain every vitamin and mineral the body needs in its most bioavailable forms. If your diet consists of a variation of these five foods, you will get healthier and stronger by the day.

For the podcast this week, we discuss the difference between omnivores and carnivores. This is a continuation of our conversation which argues that humans should be classified as facultative carnivores and not simply just as omnivores. The distinction argued on this podcast is that yes, humans are omnivores. This means we can eat on various trophic levels but we can only thrive when the majority of our nutrition comes from animal sources, therefore, classifying us as facultative carnivores is more accurate.
An example of a true omnivore generalist would be a raccoon. Raccoons can eat basically eat anything and they aren't stressed one way or the other if they get the bulk of their nutrition from either plants or animals. Humans, however, are stressed when we get the bulk of our nutrition from plants. Eating plants and extracting nutrients from them forces our body to do things that it is simply not good at. For example, humans don't elongate the plant from the omega 3 fat, ALA into EPA and DHA, very well. We aren't good at converting beta carotene, the plant based vitamin A, into retinol which is the animal based vitamin A and the vitamin A we actually need. At best we convert 10% of ALA into EPA and beta carotene into retinol. Animals, however, are a great source of preformed EPA and DHA and preformed vitamin A, therefore when we get our nutrition from animals we don't have to convert these nutrients into their bioavailable forms. This puts less stress on our body and provides our bodies with the best chance at actually mobilizing and utilizing the nutrition found in food.
To learn more about the distinction between omnivore and carnivore and why it matters that humans be recognized as facultative carnivores, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss an article titled, Texas lawmakers approve bill banning 'meat' and 'beef' from labels of plant-based foods. This article outlines a bill that recently passed designed to make a clear distinction from plant based meat replacements and true animal based products.
We are both in favor of this bill passing. Plant based meat alternatives are highly processed garbage disguised as a health food. There is nothing healthy about these foods, so we believe that they should not be allowed to be called meat since meat is a true super food.
To learn more about this bill and the problems with plant based meat alternatives, listen to this week's podcast.
In this week's podcast, we discuss the caveman diet. This episode was inspired by an article in Science titled, Neanderthals Carb Loaded, Helping Grow Their Brains. This article triggered a discussion around the validity of a low carb diet. Stating that carbs have always been a major part of our diet and restricting them under the guise of some sort of ancestral diet was wrong.
I couldn't disagree with this more!
The caveman diet is a low carb, whole food based diet that consist mainly of meat. With these guidelines in mind, we believe that humans should be classified as facultative carnivores and not simply omnivores. Meaning, we can survive off of plants but not thrive. The only way to truly thrive from a dietary standpoint is to get the bulk of your nutrition from animals. They offer the most vitamin rich foods packed with all the essential amino acids and fatty acids we need to thrive.
Our ancient ancestors couldn't go to a grocery store or buy groceries on amazon. They were forced to live with nature and feed off of the land. Therefore, they didn't have access to a large amount of carbohydrates for the vast majority of the year. Cavemen, however, had access to animals all year round and this is what made up the bulk of their diet.
To learn more about the diet humans evolved to eat and why the article claiming we ate lots of carbs throughout our evolution was completely false, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss an article that outlines how to build a home gym for under $1000. Building a home gym is a smart investment in both your mental and physical health. It's hard to find an excuse to skip the gym when your gym is right in your home.
There are so many options when looking into gym equipment that it can be hard to figure out what's right for you. With that in mind, we broke down the most essential equipment you'll need.
There are 5 essential items needed to build your home gym.
Barbell Squat Rack Weight Plates Adjustable Bench Jump Rope
To learn more about the equipment you'll need and our specific recommendations, listen to this week's podcast.
In this week's podcast, we discuss deuterium which is commonly referred to as heavy water. Heavy water has the same chemical structure as normal water, H2O, however the hydrogens are made of a different isotope.
Deuterium is a hydrogen isotope that contains both a proton and a neutron in the nucleus. This doubles the size and weight of the atom. A normal hydrogen atom is actually called protium.
If you had an ice cube made of entirely deuterium molecules, it would sink in normal water instead of float.
It is a naturally occurring isotope and makes up about 150 ppm or 0.015% of natural water.
High deuterium levels are linked to many chronic diseases: cancer, insomnia, depression, accelerated aging, ALS, diabetes, epilepsy, PCOS, and any other disease rooted in mitochondrial health.
When we have too much deuterium in our tissues, more of it gets used by our mitochondria during metabolism. This really large and heavy form of hydrogen wrecks our mitochondria because they are not designed for it.
Why are the levels higher?
Three primary reasons:
There is more in the environment. Over the last 50,000 years a lot of ice all over the planet has melted. This ice released a lot of deuterium that was previously stored.
Deuterium is in many pesticides, like glyphosate, because it helps things grow. Farmers use this to increase yields. This could be the reason why glyphosate causes cancer.
Deuterium is highest in carbs like grains, sugars, and root vegetables. We’ve increased the amount of these types of foods in our diet by a lot.
What can you do to limit your deuterium exposure? Eat lots of animal based foods. Especially grass fed or pasture raised. Consume only organic fruits and vegetables. Follow a low carb/ketogenic diet. This limits the amount of deuterium you’re putting into your body. But the real magic is that you are creating deuterium depleted water inside your cells during fat metabolism.
To learn more about the harmful effects of heavy water and what you can do about it, listen to this week's podcast.
For the article of the week this week, we discuss Joe Biden's plan to incentivize farmers to incorporate more regenerative agriculture processes into their current farming operations.
This topic generated some exaggerated headlines recently with people reporting that President Biden wanted to limit our red meat consumption. This isn't true. This came from a misrepresentation of President Biden's plan. President Biden wants to support farmers that have incorporated regenerative agriculture practices and are focusing on methods that will actually increase the amount of carbon in our soil by pulling it out of the air. This is one way that we can reduce the carbon in the atmosphere and slow down global warming.
To learn more about the current problems with modern agriculture and the President's plan to address it, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how cancer spreads throughout our body. This is referred to as metastasis. It's important to understand how and why cancer spreads throughout the body because metastasis is the primary reason people are killed by cancer. It is responsible for 90% of all cancer deaths.
The steps needed to be taken for metastasis to occur are complex and must be completed in a precise order. This is important to understand because the current teachings on cancer, referred to as the somatic theory of cancer, states that metastasis occurs through a process called EMT (epithelial to mesenchymal transition) followed by MET (mesenchymal to epithelial transition). Both of these steps try and explain metastasis in a way that lines up with the somatic theory of cancer. So, it basically blames metastasis on random gene mutations.
This is an unnecessarily long and complicated explanation for metastasis because it tries to explain this process using the somatic theory as a base. However, if we use the metabolic theory as a base, understanding metastasis and explaining it becomes a million times easier.
The metabolic theory of cancer explains metastasis like this: cells of our immune system like macrophages located within the primary tumor site, become metabolically dysfunctional through various metabolic stressors they experience within the tumor. Tumors are notoriously acidic and hypoxic making it difficult for normal cells to survive. The longer macrophages are subjected to these stressors, the more likely it is that they will become dysfunctional. These corrupted macrophages now possess all the necessary machinery and genetic code to spread throughout the body.
There's no need to explain metastasis through the complicated EMT and MET process because these steps aren't needed for cancer to spread. Once a cell of our immune system like a macrophage becomes metabolically compromised, metastasis is possible because macrophages inherently possess all the tools needed to spread throughout the body.

This week we discuss an article titled, How Long Does It Take to Put on Muscle?
This article outlines what happens to your body when you first start a weight lifting regimen to try and increase your muscle mass.
The first take away is that you'll get stronger before you get bigger. It seems counter intuitive but it's true. This is because as you start to workout your body will get better at contracting the muscle you already have. So just after a few weeks of consistent training, you will become better at flexing your preexisting muscle, and you'll be able to lift more weight. Pretty cool!
The act of adding more true muscle in the form of contractile tissue takes more time, unfortunately. If you stay consistent and have all other factors in your life dialed in as to optimize muscle accrual, you should start to notice a difference in about 3 months.
To gain muscle the fastest, you should get these four aspects in line:
Strength train consistently Increase protein consumption Consume more calories Get rest
To learn more about this article and to hear our recommendations on how to get these four aspects incorporated into your life, listen to this week's podcast.
In this week's podcast, we discuss the metabolic effects of chronic psychological stress. Our body's stress response system has been honed and refined for over millions of years to deal with physical stress in an extremely effective manner. However, our body handles the stress we feel sitting in traffic the same as if a tiger was chasing us through the jungle. We have a sudden urge of cortisol and adrenaline designed to provide our body with the best chance of surviving this stressful event. Again, if a tiger is chasing us, we want and need this to happen. However, having the same response while sitting in a car in the middle of traffic can be damaging to our hearts.
This response to stress is often referred to as the HPA - Axis, which stand for hypothalamus, pituitary and adrenals. This is the order in which the signal from our brain leaves and eventually produces stress hormones from our adrenals. Chronic stress disrupts this system and leads to HPA - Axis dysfunction which will eventually lead to heart disease.
In order - exposure to various stressors causes HPA-axis dysfunction, leading to abnormal cortisol levels, and then heart disease.
This is independent of diet and one of the main reasons why adopting effective stress management techniques is so important. You can exercise frequently and eat healthy but if you continually expose your body to extreme stress, you are creating an environment for heart disease to appear, completely negating all the hard work you do in the gym and kitchen.
To learn more about the precise mechanism on how stress causes heart disease, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss the recent recommendation from the AHA that claims pop tarts are a smart snack. This comes from the Alliance For A Healthier Generation which is a partnership program founded by the American Heart Association, The Clinton Foundation, and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
So, how can this program recommend products like pop tarts, diet soda and chips as heart healthy snacks for children?
This might come as a shock to some of you but this organization doesn't care about your health at all. It has very deep ties to the food industry and they care about profits not health. Selling cheap, sugar filled snack foods to children keeps their profits high.
To learn more about the corruption of the American Heart Association and how they have a vested interest in keeping these sugar filled snacks on the shelf, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the dangers of having a biopsy to diagnose cancer. Getting a biopsy after an abnormal scan is the current standard of care. It is the established dogma.
There are plenty of examples throughout history in which the established dogma turned out to not be true.
The church said for hundreds of years that the sun rotated around the earth, we found out later this wasn't true.
People used to think that “bad air” caused diseases, called the miasma theory, this was also found out not to be true. That was replaced by the germ theory of disease.
For years, we’ve been told that cancer is caused by genetic mutations, this is referred to as the somatic mutation theory. This is the current dogma and just by looking at our history, is there a chance this could be wrong?
We argue that this theory should be replaced with the mitochondrial metabolic theory. This theory has more evidence supporting it and gives us a way forward in actually curing cancer that the somatic mutation theory doesn’t.
When viewing biopsies through the lens of the somatic mutation theory, it makes sense how they can be practical in preventing and treating cancer, however, when viewed through the lens of the metabolic theory, biopsies become obsolete. Not only do they not help but they can actually do harm.
Getting a biopsy does nothing for how we approach the actual cancer treatment we give you. Currently, it's all a combination of toxic radiation, chemotherapy, and surgery no matter what type of cancer it is.
However, getting a biopsy can lead to metastasis which is huge, in a very bad way. If your cancer stays local and contained it can be removed via surgery, or simply left alone and most of the time it will be fine but when the cancer spreads throughout your body, surgery is no longer a viable option.
Metastasis is the cause of 90% of the deaths from cancer.
So, preventing metastasis should be the key focus in cancer treatment, yet our current protocol actually promotes metastasis.
To learn more about the flaws in our current cancer treatments, listen to this week's podcast.

For the podcast this week, we discuss the quality of insect based protein and whether or not they can be a sustainable protein source for our growing population.
Increased access to dietary protein is a problem that needs fixing. Chronic inadequate protein intake and protein energy malnutrition currently affects 1 billion people worldwide.
So we already have a hard time feeding the people we currently have on this planet, what are we going to do in 2050 when the population is suspected to be around 9.6 billion?
One answer in my opinion is to tackle our food waste problem. Nearly half of the food grown in this country isn't eaten. There are many reasons for this, but there has to be a way to make the food grown more available for the people who need it.
Another solution would be to increase the output and efficiency of our animal based agriculture. America is very good at using every part of a cow. From leather for cars to ribeyes for dinner. However, we need to put more cows on more grasslands if we're going to keep up with the increasing demand for meat.
Even if both of these problems are solved, having another source of dietary protein would be ideal. Insects can serve this role.
Compared to other animal based protein sources, the majority of insects are of lesser quality. However, there are a few species that offer good high quality amino acid profiles. If we focus our attention on these species and construct ecological friendly farming systems, we can mass produce these insects, and they can become another source of dietary protein for the entire planet.
To learn more about insect protein and their quality, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the omega 3 index. What is the omega 3 index you might be asking? The omega 3 index is an accurate way to represent the amount of omega 6 fats and omega 3 fats in your diet. Both of these are polyunsaturated fats that must be obtained within our diets. Our body can not make them itself.
The most common way to compare the omega fats in your diet is to compare the total ratio of omega 6 fats to omega 3 fats. Using this metric you would ideally have these values close to a 1 to 1 ratio. This would provide you with the best health outcomes according to this method. However, this method is outdated and is based on some common misconceptions about omega fats and how our body uses them. For example, this method considers all omega 6 fats to be pro inflammatory, which is not true. The omega 6 fat arachidonic acid has pro-inflammatory properties as well as anti-inflammatory properties just like the omega 3 fats EPA and DHA.
With this information now being commonly known amongst experts of polyunsaturated fat metabolism, there's been a new way to better calibrate your omega 6 and omega 3 fats and that's called the omega 3 index.
The omega 3 index measures three values,
The amount of omega-3 (EPA/DHA) in the blood.
The proportion of EPA and DHA in the blood compared to all other fatty acids.
The ratio of EPA to ARA (an omega-6 fatty acid).
This is then translated into a percentage. A value of over 8% is considered healthy and provides the most cardioprotection and a value under 4% is consider unhealthy and is linked to various health concerns. This method provides a more accurate way to track the omega 6 and 3 fats in your diet and gives tangible advice on how to improve your health. To learn more about the omega 3 index, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we review an article from the New York Times that outlines some of the problems with high intensity exercise. You can find the article here:
Too Much High-Intensity Exercise May Be Bad for Your Health
High intensity interval training often called HIIT usually is done in an aerobic workout on a treadmill or bike in which you have brief periods of all out intensity trying to fully exhaust your muscles and then a brief rest period before you go all out again. This exercise technique is a great way to improve your athletic performance as well as being a great way to lose weight, however it does have some draw backs. Some of these draw backs were outlined in this article.
This study had 11 participants, male and female and it put them through a series of HIIT training sessions on an exercise bike over the course of a month. It found that after two weeks, the participants were able to go harder for longer on the exercise bike, which is great news. However, after week three, they noticed a dip in performance which was linked to a decrease in the amount of energy the participant's mitochondria were producing. The study took muscle biopsies to gauge mitochondrial health. The authors concluded that too much HIIT can be dangerous and should be limited to a few times a week.
This seems like a reasonable conclusion to me. However, there are some parts of the study that weren't tracked that can play a huge role in how your body responds to hard workouts. These things are sleep and nutrition. Hard workouts require hard recovery. You can’t leave recovery up to chance. You need to plan out your rest time just as much as your workouts. Proper nutrition and sleep are key to fully recover from these workouts. Without them, your body will never fully recover and you will eventually see diminishing returns from your workouts, like the participants in this study. To learn more about this study and what we thought about it in detail, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the problems with early cancer screenings. Cancer is the second leading cause of death globally, so it makes sense that modern medicine is trying to create ways to detect cancer as early as possible. This is key because the early stages of cancer are easy to treat, however the later stages are more deadly. The difference between early stage and late stage cancer is that late stage has metastasized and spread throughout the body. However, our current techniques used to detect cancer early are severely flawed. Early cancer screening fails in 3 ways:
-
Over treatment/side effects
-
Data reflects cancer deaths and not all cause mortality
-
Does little to prevent late stage cancers
To hear more about the problems with cancer screenings and how the established medical community misrepresents data to hide their ineffectiveness, listen to this week's podcast.

For this week's Article of The Week, we review the debate from Paul Saladino's podcast between him and Joel Fuhrman. Paul Saladino is a firm believer in the healing properties of an animal based diet while Joel Fuhrman is an advocate of a plant based diet. Both of these men had a friendly debate in which they presented their ideas. However, we felt like relying on various deeply flawed epidemiological studies like Joel Fuhrman did, showed the weak position he is in trying to promote a plant based diet as the healthiest diet possible.
If you've listened to our podcast in the past, then you should know that we sided with Paul Saladino and his views on an animal based diet. The fact of the matter is there are simply too many nutritional deficiencies on a plant based diet for it to be truly healthy. No study needs to be referenced, no test needs to be performed. It's a fact that plants can't provide all the nutritional requirements for humans to thrive. For example here's a brief list of just some of the nutrients either only found in animal foods or found in animal foods in their most bioavailable forms:
Heme Iron Zinc Vitamin A Vitamin D3 Vitamin K2 Vitamin B12
All of these vitamins and minerals are lacking in a plant based diet. To find out more information about the nutritional deficiencies of a plant based diet, I recommend you listen to episode 55 of our podcast in which we outline every deficiency, and if you want to learn more about what we thought of the debate and why we agreed Paul Saladino, listen to this week's podcast.
In this week's podcast, we discuss the connection between blood sugar levels and associated insulin rise with the formation of cancer.
Cancer's formation isn't as complicated as some would make you believe. At the root, it is caused by chronic sublethal damage to our bodies. An example of this would be smoking cigarettes. It has been proven that smoking cigarettes increases your odds of getting cancer. They do this by introducing toxins into your lungs at a sublethal dose. Overtime, exposing your body to these toxins damages your cells and specifically your mitochondria in such a way that it produces cancer.
This process can be accelerated on a high carb diet. Compared to the other two macronutrients: fat and protein, carbohydrates cause the biggest insulin release from our pancreas. Chronic high insulin has been shown to be a potent driver of cancer because insulin is a hormone that promotes growth. In cells that are compromised via chronic sublethal damage, the hormonal and genetic changes caused by chronic high insulin create a perfect environment for cancer formation and growth.
What can you do to lower your odds of developing cancer? It's easy, follow an ancestral diet. This consist of whole food, low carb options that our ancestors have ate for thousands of years. Also, practicing some sort of intermittent fasting as well as incorporating extended fast into your routine will greatly reduce your odds of developing cancer.
To learn more and cancer and insulins role in promoting cancerous growths, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss an article titled, The Truth About The Guardian’s Plant-Based Ethics. This article outlines how the Guardian newspaper has been bought off by wealthy individuals like Bill Gates to promote their plant based views.
This is in the form of editorial journalism. This type of journalism is a piece written by a journalist in which they state their opinion about a topic. This isn't hard hitting fact based journalism that people expect from the Guardian. However, it's presented in such a way that it appears as if it's fact based and a piece of real journalism.
The truth is The Guardian and other news outlets have sold their souls to the highest bidder and are now used as propaganda machines for the wealthy. In this case, The Guardian is funded by Bill Gates and the cofounder of Facebook, both of which, are two of the wealthiest people in the world.
To learn more about editorial journalism at The Guardian and how they're spreading lies, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of this week this week, we review a paper that outlines some dangers of taking off the shelf supplements. This paper specifically looked at a dietary fat loss supplement named, Lipokinetix. This dietary supplement was marketed as a way to increase your metabolism and aid in fat loss. However, it seems like it was just as likely to cause liver damage. This supplement resulted in numerous people going into liver failure and unfortunately it resulted in one customer needing a liver transplant since the damage completely destroyed their liver.
How can something like this happen? How can such a dangerous supplement be allowed to be sold to the public?
Well, dietary supplements don't need to be evaluated by the FDA like normal prescription medications do. It's simply up to the developer of the supplement to claim if it's healthy or not. Therefore, it's easy for companies to release dangerous supplements onto the market. It's not until a particular supplement causes multiple documented cases of inflicting some sort of health issue that the FDA becomes aware of it and takes it off the shelf. However, by then, numerous people have most likely already suffered the ill effects of this certain supplement.
Be careful when buying supplements and do your research on the companies that make the supplements you like to buy. To learn more about this topic listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how essential amino acids or EAA's can be taken around a workout to enhance recovery and promote muscle growth.
You might be asking, how is this possible?
As we train, our body is continuously breaking down protein in whichever muscle group you're working out. This is normal and it happens every time you workout. However, too much muscle protein breakdown can make recovery difficult and hinder the amount of muscle you put on. To fight this, you can supplement with EAA's during your training. It will lessen the amount of muscle protein breakdown during training, allow you to better recover, and put on more muscle from your training sessions.
In essence, it makes your training sessions more effective. You still have to put in the work and stimulate muscle protein synthesis by lifting weights with intensity, but helping reduce muscle protein breakdown during this process is a huge aid and can help any serious gym rat add more muscle.
To learn more about EAA's and why you should take them while training, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the herbicide glyphosate, better known as RoundUp is contributing to the great bee collapse. Huge percentages of bee colonies have been dying recently and no-one has a good answer as to why it is happening. Between Oct. 1, 2018, and April 1, 2019, 37.7% of the managed honey bee population died. Why is this such a big problem?
Honey bees are essential for the pollination of flowers, fruits and vegetables. Much of the produce seen in grocery stores for example melons, apples, peppers, cucumbers and nuts are pollinated by millions of honey bees that travel across the country.
The article of the week this week shows that RoundUp effects bees in negative way and can be one of the major factors killing a huge number of bee colonies. Without these bee colonies, our fruits and vegetables will not get pollinated and won't grow at all.

In this week's podcast, we discuss why a diet high in omega 6 fats is unhealthy. Diseases of western civilization, things like heart disease, cancer and diabetes all have one thing in common and that's dysfunctional mitochondria. A diet high in omega 6 fats, specifically the omega 6 fat linoleic acid, causes our mitochondria to become dysfunctional and therefore have the capability to cause diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
The biggest source of linoleic acid in the modern diet is industrial seed oils, better known as vegetable oils. Things like soy, corn, or canola oil. These oils are very high in polyunsaturated fats specifically linoleic acid. These polyunsaturated omega 6 fats are chemically unstable compared to their saturated and monounsaturated counterparts and cause these oils to go rancid both outside and inside of our body.
Once these oils oxidize or go rancid, they release deadly toxins into our body that causes a chain reaction, which then increases inflammation and oxidative stress all throughout our body, ultimately resulting in the diseases of western civilization. To learn more about why lowering omega 6 fats should be part of any healthy diet, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week, we discuss the diets of Neanderthals. This study looked into the nitrogen content in the collagen of Neanderthal's bones and found that the nitrogen content of these bones was the same as animals that are carnivorous. The specific nitrogen isotope found in bones is a good way to estimate the source of dietary protein over the course of the samples life. These samples showed that Neanderthals got most of their nitrogen from meat and not plants. Eating plants would result in a lower nitrogen isotope value.
How does the diet of Neanderthals tie into the diet of modern humans? Well, Neanderthals are our ancient ancestors and we share very similar GI tracts and overall physiology as them, so we should model our diet to be as close to there's as possible. To learn more about the diet of Neanderthals, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the source of food borne pathogens. It's commonly believed that undercooked meat is the primary source of food poisoning, however about 51% of cases come from plants, 42% from land animals, and 6% from aquatic animals.
There are over 9 million cases of food poisoning every year. Narrowing down the cause of food borne illness to one cause is difficult because people eat many different foods at once, symptoms from different pathogens are similar, and the same pathogens can come from both meat and produce.
In any case, the best way to prevent food borne illness is to practice safe cooking practices and proper hand hygiene. If you prepare your meals by thoroughly washing vegetables and cooking meat properly the odds of you having food poisoning is low. To learn more about food borne pathogens, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss why the protein in plants is of lower quality compared to animal based sources.
Animal based sources of protein from things like steak, eggs, milk or chicken are all of higher quality compared to plant based sources like soy or pea protein because animal based proteins contain a complete amino acid profile. Meaning, they contain all essential and non-essential amino acids which are the building blocks of proteins. On top of that, whole food animal based sources of protein also contain all the necessary micro nutrients to properly metabolize the protein in the meal.
Protein quality isn't reflected on our nutrition labels and this is why most people believe that protein is all of equal value wether it comes from peanuts or steaks. This isn't true at all because our nutrition labels only depict the amount of crude protein in the given sample of food and not the true protein value which is a much better indicator of protein quality.
To learn more about why crude protein is a poor marker of protein quality and why you should get the bulk of your protein from animal sources, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how a plant based diet can negatively effect your mental health.
It has been shown in various studies that people on a plant based or vegan diet experience depression at an increased rate.
In a 2018 French study of 90,000 adults, looking at different diets and depression, found that vegans were about 2.5 times more likely to suffer from depression than meat eaters. Vegetarians and pescatarians were also more likely to suffer from depression but not as much as vegans.
In a 2014 Austrian study of 1,320 participants found that vegetarians were about twice as likely to suffer from depression and/or anxiety than meat eaters.
Our argument shows why this revolves around the nutritional deficiencies of a plant based diet and how being low in various nutrients effects our mental health.
The first nutrient that is low on a plant based diet is the amino acid tryptophan. This amino acid gets converted into serotonin which is a feel good hormone. Inadequate serotonin has been linked to depression.
The second nutrient we looked at that is low in a plant based diet and linked to depression was carnitine. Carnitine is an amino acid that helps shuttle fat into our mitochondria and in animal and human studies. It has been show that low carnitine levels in the blood increases your odds of experiencing depression.
To learn more about why a plant based diet isn't good for your mental health, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss some of the many lies the sugary industry has told us over the years from an article titled,
50 Years Ago, Sugar Industry Quietly Paid Scientists To Point Blame At Fat
This lie stemmed from research conducted in the 1960's by the Sugar Research Foundation. This group paid Harvard scientist to talk about the benefits of sugar and to blame dietary fat for diseases such as heart disease, even though, there was never any strong evidence to blame fat for heart disease.
This group never disclosed any financial conflicts of interest, even though, it seems obvious that research paid for by the sugar industry would conclude that sugar isn't bad.
To learn more about how the sugar industry lied to the American people, listen to this week's podcast.

For the article of the week this week, we discuss how and why the world's population has exploded in the last 100 years. In the year 1800, there was 1.6 billion people on Earth and just 200 years later there's 7.6 billion people on Earth.
The main contributor to this is how easily humans have access to nitrogen now. Nitrogen is the great limiting factor on growth of all plant life on Earth, and humans have hijacked the nitrogen cycle via the Haber-Bosch process. This allows humans to "fix" nitrogen from the air. Before this, we had to rely on nitrogen fixing bacteria and legumes like soy to fix nitrogen in the air and place it in the soil in its usable form.
Now that humans have the capacity to make all the nitrogen we need, we can make more food and that allowed our population to explode. It is estimated that two thirds of annual global food production uses nitrogen from the Haber-Bosch process and that this supports nearly half the world's population.
To learn more about the Haber-Bosch process and how that caused our population to explode, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss healthy baby formula alternatives. Unfortunately finding pre made healthy baby formula is extremely difficult so the formula we recommend must be created at home. We recommend two options, one is milk based and the other is meat based.
The backbone of the milk based formula is raw milk to simulate breast milk as closely as possible. Finding raw milk may be difficult depending on where you live. All other ingredients can be found online.
The backbone of the meat based formula is broth and liver. These are easily found in any grocery store.

For this week's article of the week, we discuss a study that outlines someone damaging their kidneys from eating a diet high in nuts and seeds.
This may seem far fetched, but nuts and seeds are very high in an anti-nutrient known as oxalates. These particular anti-nutrients are particularly hard on our kidneys because they bind to calcium in our blood supply and form sharp jagged crystals that harm our kidneys as our body tries to expel them in our urine.
To learn more about the harmful effects of oxalates and why you might want to eat less nuts and seeds, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss all the problems with soy baby formula.
People think creating baby formula should be scientific or at least a known commodity but it’s not. Baby formula is a money making venture. Companies cut cost everywhere they can to make as much profit as possible. They don’t use high quality ingredients like butter fat or lactose because they cost too much, so they use cheap vegetable oils and high fructose corn syrup instead.
The first myth about soy formula we want to tackle is the idea that soy and soy formula have been used in asian cultures for thousands of years. This isn't true, not even close.
Soy formula was first made in the west by an American.
Soy was originally used a cover crop or green manure due to it’s ability to fix nitrogen, not as a food source.
100 years ago Americans were growing it for the oil to use in paint and glue, not as food.
The first documented use of soy in bay formula was 1909.
The first usage of soy based infant formula in the east didn’t occur until 1928 by Ernest Tso. It took this long to start using soy as a food produce because it takes a lot of processing to make soy edible. They simply didn't have the machinery needed to make soy based foods before the early 1900's.
To make soy milk, soy beans are soaked in water and then exposed to high pressure and heat in order to damage/remove some of the anti-nutrients. However, during that process the fat turns rancid and most of the nutrients and proteins are destroyed. Synthetic vitamins and sweeteners are then added to it to make it palatable.
To learn more about the problems with soy and soy baby formula, listen to this week's podcast.

Here is another example of a “health authority” being bought by a food company. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND) started their “Kids Eat Right” program by endorsing Kraft Singles, a cheese product, not even real cheese!
AND is supposed to be the leading authority on what foods are healthy. And by endorsing a highly processed food that our ancestors would have never eaten shows that they care more about money, than people’s health!

In this week's podcast, we discuss colostrum. Your first question may be, what is colostrum and why should I care about it?
Colostrum is a milk like substance made from mammals before actual milk production. The amount produced varies from species to species but it’s usually produced for the first three days after giving birth.
What makes it different than milk? It contains a very high amount of antibodies. While also being high in vitamins, minerals, fats, growth hormones and digestive enzymes. Basically, colostrum has everything needed to support a newborn life.
In particular, it’s higher in protein, fat, carbs, magnesium, B vitamins, and vitamins A, C, and E than cow’s milk.
The biggest source of protein from colostrum comes in the form of antibodies or immunoglobulins. They make up 70-80% of the protein in colostrum.
IgG makes up the biggest portion of about 75% of total antibodies in colostrum.
What are antibodies? Proteins our body makes that recognizes an antigen on the outside of a foreign invader like a virus or bacteria. An antibody binds to an antigen and invokes an immune response telling our body to get that bacteria/virus out of our body.
Since colostrum is high in antibodies, it's been shown to increase protection from bacteria and viruses.
To learn more about how and why colostrum can help prevent infections from viruses and bacteria listen to this week's podcast.

This week's article of the week (AOW) is all about how America's obesity epidemic is effecting our military. How bad is this epidemic? Only 17% of young Americans would qualify for active duty today.
Almost 1/3 of all young people who sit down with a recruiter are instantly disqualified because they are obese. This is the largest reason for disqualification.
This is alarming because interest in joining the military is decreasing and so is the size of the recruitable population.
A 2016 study found that “active duty soldiers with obesity were 33 percent more likely to suffer musculoskeletal injury, contributing to the more than 3.6 million injuries that occurred among active duty service members between 2008 and 2017.”
To learn more about how obesity is effecting our military listen to this week's podcast.
In this week's podcast, we discuss the difference between organic and non-organic foods.
Are organic foods healthier and contain more nutrition compared to their non-organic counterparts? No. Organic food production doesn't effect the nutritional quality of the food you buy. The organic label tells you more about how the food you are buying was cultivated.
Organic farms must take into account the soil quality before and after harvest. This is the biggest difference between these two farming practices. Non-organic farms don't have to worry about soil quality or the integrity of the ecosystem in which they cultivate their crops. They can simply focus on increasing the yield no matter the cost to the surrounding environment.
This lack of concern for the quality of our soil and the heavy reliance on artificial oil derived fertilizers, is the biggest concern with non-organic farming. This is the reason you should buy organic if you have the means to afford it.
You won't get more nutrition from the organic foods, but you will be contributing to the health of our planet by buying organic and that's the primary reason why you should.

In this week's podcast, we finish our conversation with Heathar Shepard. Heathar is an expert on the healing properties of the sun and we finish our conversation today going through Heathar's Sunlight Rx. This is a detailed outline of when and why you should go out in the sun throughout the day. Simply getting more sun throughout the day would be a huge improvement for the vast majority of people, but if you're looking to optimize your time in the sun listen to this week's podcast and learn Heathar's tips.

In this week's podcast, we continue our conversation with Heathar Shepard about the healing properties of the sun.
We cover topics such as the harmful effects of wearing sunglasses. Our eyes are designed to absorb light throughout the day in a natural rhythm. By placing a dark shade over our eyes, we cause a conflict of signals being sent to our brain. The shades tell our brain it is getting dark and triggers the production of melatonin at the wrong time. This can lead to a decrease in total melatonin in our body and have a negative effect on not just our sleep quality, but many other metabolic markers. The take home message is to avoid sunglasses if you can.
We also touched on sun gazing which is the practice of spending time looking in the sun's general direction. The best time to look at the sun directly is during sunrise and sunset. The light frequency at this time is predominately red light which helps our body produce more energy in our mitochondria. This is a great and easy practice to increase the amount of sun you get in a day.
Lastly, we discussed how it's capable for pale individuals to get a tan and how to avoid getting any sunburns at all. I have experienced this phenomenon myself, having red hair and pale skin has made me afraid of the sun for most of my life, but now that I changed my diet and increase my sun exposure, I no longer get any sunburns at all.
We finish with practical advice for people who travel a lot and what can help them better deal with jet lag.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the powerful healing properties of the sun with the author of the book, Sunlight Rx, Heathar Shepard. In part 1 of this 3 part series, we get introduced to Heathar and learn what her motivations were to write this book.
Heathar grew up an athlete and knew what it felt like to be strong and healthy but that was all taken from her when she was in a major car accident in her twenties. She suffered a traumatic brain injury, or TBI. This effected her life in numerous ways. She wasn't able to do the things she loved, like working out as much as she used too. Even walking for her was difficult because it caused dizziness and migraines. Traditional medicine couldn't tell her why she was feeling so bad. She had numerous CT scans and MRI's all of which came back normal but she knew she didn't feel right. After many years of trying various modalities to reclaim her health, she finally stumbled upon the healing properties of the sun and proper sun exposure. This new technique greatly increased her well being and overall health.
To learn more about Heathar and how the sun played a major role in healing her body, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week’s podcast, we continue our review of the movie Sacred Cow. This movie highlighted the pitfalls of traditional agriculture and made suggestions on how we can better manage our crops and farmlands.
The biggest problem with agriculture today is monocrops. The big three are wheat, corn and soy. The way in which these crops are farmed deplete the soil of its natural resources and forces the farmers to completely eliminate all living matter on that particular field in order to yield as much crop as possible. This horrible farming tactic has led not only to the increase in carbon in our atmosphere, which contributes to global warming, but has also greatly increased the amount of processed foods available to us today. The increase in processed foods in the global diet has been the biggest factor in the spike in diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other metabolic conditions.
The solution to this problem presented in this movie is regenerative agriculture. This farming method reintroduced livestock to plant agriculture, recreating the natural conditions in which the plants and animals would live throughout their evolution. This farming method greatly decreases the amount of fossil fuel needed to farm and eliminates the need for artificial fertilizers. To learn more about regenerative agriculture and how monocrops have destroyed the world’s soil, listen to this week’s podcast.

On this week’s podcast, we continue our discussion on the cholesterol lowering medication called statins. In part 1, we discussed the history of the low fat/low cholesterol dietary recommendations, how those recommendations were used to prop up the use of statins, and why that has been devastating to the health of the entire nation. In part 2, we discuss the literal mechanism of action of statin medication and why lowering LDL is a bad idea. In part 3, we discussed the dirty tricks used by the pharmaceutical industry that make statin medication appear more beneficial than they actually are. In part 4, we finally start to outline some of the major side effects caused by statins. These supposed cure all pills are riddled with numerous debilitating side effects and one of the most commonly seen is new onset diabetes. In part 5, we discussed how this medication that is supposed to treat heart disease, is actually giving people heart disease.
In part 6, we end our conversation on statins to discuss how these drugs cause cancer. There are two ways in which statins can increase your odds of getting cancer. The first way is through statins harmful effects on our mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction is the genesis of all cancer so any drug that effects our mitochondria in a negative way greatly increases our odds of developing cancer. The second way that statins increase our odds of developing cancer is statin’s ability to raise our blood insulin levels. This is called hyperinsulinemia and it greatly increases the amount of IGF-1 in our blood. IGF-1 is a growth factor that cancer cells love. It allows them to grow in an uncontrollable fashion and avoid the normal cues to die called apoptosis. This results in a cell that grows too much and doesn't die, aka a cancerous growth.
To learn more about the harmful effects of statins, listen to this week's podcast.

In part 5, we discussed how this medication that is supposed to treat heart disease, is actually giving people heart disease. You heard that right. Statins damage our hearts through various mechanisms and are a major contributing factor to more than one million cases of heart failure reported every year.
Statin medications are toxic to our mitochondria and deplete our cells of ATP which can lead to heart failure. This medication can also deplete our cells of selenium and vitamin K, both of which lead to increased calcification of our arteries, which contributes to heart failure.
To learn more about how and why statins lead to heart disease listen to this week's podcast.

In part 2, we discuss the literal mechanism of action of statin medication and why lowering LDL is a bad idea.
In part 3, we discuss the dirty tricks used by the pharmaceutical industry that make statin medication appear more beneficial than they actually are.
The big health claim made by Lipitor, which I’m sure you’ve seen in some mens health magazine, is that it lowers your odds of having a heart attack by 36%. Sounds impressive right? Well, here’s the real data.
Lipitor’s 36% reduction of heart attack risk was a figure arrived from a relative risk reduction from 3% to 2%
You might be asking what’s the problem with that? What’s relative risk reduction?
“Relative risk reduction” is a common tactic used by pharmaceutical companies that can make an effect appear meaningful when the “absolute risk reduction” reveals its insignificance. Absolute risk is what we want to focus on, not relative risk. So how do they come up with these numbers?
Think of it like this, 100 people are treated with a statin medication and one person sees a benefit. 99 people see no benefit. The benefit seen from this one person is an absolute risk reduction from a 2% chance to a 1% chance of having a heart attack. Which would be spun by the pharmaceutical industry as a 50% relative risk reduction in having a heart attack. So this 1% benefit magically turns into a 50% benefit just like that.
No study has ever shown any association between the degree of cholesterol lowering and beneficial outcomes described in terms of absolute risk reduction, likely because they would be perceived as insignificant.
We end with a brief intro on all the harmful side effects caused by statins. To learn more about statins and why they're the biggest scam in the history of medicine, listen to this week's podcast.

In part 2, we discuss the literal mechanism of action of statin medication.
Statins are designed to inhibit the enzyme HMG CoA Reductase. This is one of the many enzymes needed for our body to produce cholesterol. However, blocking this enzyme not only inhibits our bodies ability to produce cholesterol, it also inhibits our bodies ability to produce things such as Isopentyl-PP, Farnesyl-PP and CoQ-10. These molecules play a number of important roles in the body. Farnesyl-PP is responsible for promoting proper insulin signaling, which is required to stay insulin sensitive, to prevent diabetes. Isopentyl-PP is responsible for the production of the master antioxidant glutathione, a powerful tool our body uses to fight off the damage done by free radicals. CoQ10 is a pivotal component of the electron transport chain which is needed for every cell in our body to produce adequate energy to stay alive. All of these functions are required to maintain proper health, yet statins inhibit these processes and make us sicker and weaker in the process.
To learn more about all the harmful effects of statins and why focusing on lowering cholesterol is the wrong approach for heart health, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the history of the cholesterol lowering medications commonly referred to as statins. This is part one of a three part series on statins. These are easily one of the most prescribed drugs in the world and they are intended to prevent heart disease by lowering LDL cholesterol. Here's the thing, having lower LDL cholesterol will not lower your risk of having a heart attack. Half the people in the world that suffer a heart attack actually have low LDL values. So you might be asking, why then do doctors prescribe this medication? That's what we discuss on this week's podcast. We breakdown the genesis of the 'Diet Heart Hypothesis" which gave rise to the fear of fat and cholesterol and we also show that there has never been any good science showing that a reduction of either dietary fat or dietary cholesterol lowers ones risk of having a heart attack. To learn more about statins and why they're the biggest scam in the history of medicine, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss TMAO and why this metabolite is used to blame heart disease on red meat.
The primary person responsible for bringing TMAO and its role in heart disease to light was Stanley Hanzen and his team at the Cleveland Clinic. They argue that foods rich in the nutrients choline and carnitine, such as red meat, lead to an increase in TMAO production which increases our odds of developing heart disease. They use a mouse model to show that TMAO can increase when fed foods rich in choline/carnitine. However, studies in humans have shown that eating foods rich in choline/carnitine don't cause a rise in TMAO. Their own data shows that vegetables, like soybean and tomatoes, cause just as much of a rise in TMAO as beef does. In fact, fish which contains very little carnitine causes over 100 times more TMAO to be produced than beef does. So why did these people single out red meat? I propose it's because Stanley Hanzen is backed by the American Heart Association (AHA) and they have an agenda to damn red meat at every turn.
Foods that do cause a rise in TMAO are refined grains and fiber. These are the true culprit for rising TMAO values in the blood.
To learn more about TMAO and its role in heart disease, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the effects of apple cider vinegar (ACV). ACV is a common supplement people add to their daily regimen in the hopes of helping with various ailments. Ranging from aiding digestion of meals, helping loose weight, and even better, manage diabetes. But, do any of these claims have scientific backing? Yes, ACV can help with all of these conditions.
The active ingredient of ACV is acetic acid. This is a short chain fatty acid that provides all the benefits of ACV. It has a pH of 3.3 - 3.5 which is acidic enough to help aid in digestion. It especially aids in digestion of proteins, since a pH of 3.5 is needed to activate pepsinogen and convert it into pepsin. This is the enzyme that converts proteins into amino acids.
ACV activates an enzymatic pathway called AMPK, which tells the cells in our body to soak up blood sugar and use them as fuel. This is the mechanism that contributes to the weight loss and better diabetes management seen when people ingest ACV.
To learn more about ACV and how it works in the body and what brand you should buy, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how important vitamin D is in maintaining optimal health. The vast majority of people, over 50%, are deficient in vitamin D which has been shown to increase your odds of developing type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
The best way to increase your vitamin D levels is to get out and get some sun. Exposing your skin to the midday sun for 20 - 30 minutes is plenty to increase your blood vitamin D levels. To learn more about how being deficient in vitamin D increases your odds of developing diseases like cancer and heart disease, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the FODMAP diet and all the principles behind it. This diet is usually recommended to people who suffer from IBS and other digestive ailments.
The basic formula for this diet is to eat foods low in carbs that aren't easily digested by the body. These carbs are specifically called oligosaccharides. These are a problem for some people because they pass through our small intestines mainly intact and reach our large intestine whole, which is home to numerous bacteria that then go on to ferment these carbs and produce various gases that leads to bloating, upset stomach, and diarrhea.
So, which foods should you eliminate if you want to try the FODMAP diet? First, start off with all wheat products. No breads, pastas or rye products. Then, eliminating dairy and fruits is a good option.
Once your symptoms get under control, you can then start reintroducing various foods and gauge your response. If after eating them you get bloating or other IBS symptoms, you know that you need to keep that particular food out of your diet.
To learn more about FODMAP and how you can incorporate it into your current regimen, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss the health benefits of cow’s milk. Milk is often times looked down upon both in the low carb and plant based worlds, but this is a mistake in my opinion. Milk is a great source of quality protein and fat which can also be part of a healthy diet. To learn more about the nutrients in cow’s milk and exactly which kind to buy, listen to this week’s podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the power of the carnivore diet. Specifically, we discuss how a diet high in carnosine, which is only found in meat, can lead to the healing of various ailments.
Carnosine is a dipeptide made from the amino acids alanine and histidine. It has the ability to bind to sugars in the blood and reduce the amount of glycation that occurs in our body. It also has the ability to form adducts with various toxic compounds in our body like acrolein and methylglyoxal. These properties of carnosine give us the ability to stay younger for longer and gives our body the capacity to heal from the damage that we accrue as we age.
To learn more about the power of the carnivore diet and how carnosine works within our body, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the recent changes to our facial features, which have resulted in most people needing to get their wisdom teeth removed. The topic of the podcast starts at the 11 minute mark.
There are two different theories on why humans today have smaller more narrow jaws causing most people to get their wisdom teeth removed. One theory states that humans went from a diet that required a lot of chewing, for example, eating things like meat and nuts for the majority of their nutrition to a diet heavy in grains and rice that required far less chewing because these new foods were very soft. This theory states that it was this lack of chewing to have caused the bones and muscles of our face to atrophy.
The second theory was originated by Weston A. Price who stated that after the agricultural revolution, humans started eating a diet that was deficient in various vitamins and minerals compared to the diet that our ancestors ate; one that was primarily animal based and had over ten times the amount of fat soluble vitamins like vitamin A and Vitamin D. He believes that this nutritional deficiency caused our facial features to change.
To learn more about this topic and why most people shouldn't get their wisdom teeth removed, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the best shoes for running. Most people assume that a shoe that provides maximal support is the best for runners since it protects their feet the most. However, wearing a shoe with thick padding allows for poor running technique that can result in injury. The best option is to go with a minimalist shoe that allows you to feel the ground as you run. This will not only force you to run more efficiently, it will also strengthen your feet as an added benefit. To learn more about why you want to avoid maximalist shoes and why minimalist shoes are better, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss various types of sugar and determine if any of them are healthier than the others. The sugars we chose to look at were: white table sugar, brown sugar, agave sugar and coconut sugar.
The process of extracting sugar from these plants is similar no matter the starting material. It usually involves boiling down the root or leaves and extracting the sugar crystals.
The main difference with these sugars is their glycemic index (GI). The glycemic index is a measure of how a particular carbohydrate effects blood sugar. The higher the GI value, the higher that particular carb will raise your blood sugar. Out of these sugars, agave has the lowest GI score of 17 and brown sugar had the highest with a score of 64. However, GI isn't the best way to measure the quality of a sugar. Sugars with the lowest GI score contain the most fructose which is the hardest on the liver and can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. To learn more about the differences in these sugars and which one you should use, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss supplements you should take that will keep you in good health as you age. As we get older, our body starts to produce less and less of its natural hormones. Things like testosterone and human growth hormone all decrease as we age. However, we can supplement with some things that can replace what our body used to make itself in our younger years, allowing us to live a long and healthy life.
The six supplements we recommend are:
CoQ-10 D-Ribose Creatine Magnesium Protein Powder Honorable Mentions: Glycine, L-Carnitine, Vitamin K2, Vitamin D and Salt.
To learn more about why and how you should supplement with these substances listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss all the supplements needed to put on as much muscle as possible. In my opinion, there are six supplements that can really help you pack on muscle.
Adding muscle all starts with getting enough protein in your diet. Real food is always the best bet with trying to achieve your minimum daily requirements for protein, but eating an entire meal isn't always feasible or practical, therefore I recommend everyone have a quality protein powder in their vicinity for the times they need the convenience of a quick protein intake.
Second, I recommend anyone who lifts weights, man or woman, to take creatine. Creatine is a naturally occurring peptide our body makes from the amino acids glycine, arginine and methionine. It is perfectly natural and safe to take and very effective at increasing the size and strength of our muscles.
The third supplement I recommend to aid in adding muscle is insulin. No, I'm not recommending you to go out and inject yourself with insulin. That wouldn't be safe and could potentially be deadly. What I am recommending is being strategic with your carb intake. Eating carbohydrates causes your body to release insulin. Insulin has an anti-catabolic effect on muscles, ensuring you breakdown as little muscle as possible while lifting weights. Overtime this can increase the total amount of muscle you carry on your frame.
The fourth supplement I recommend is magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that is involved in over 600 chemical reactions in our body. In the world, as a gym goer it's beneficial to know magnesium is involved in 6 of the 8 steps of the citric acid cycle, which is how our body produces energy needed to get us through our hard workouts. Therefore, supplementing with magnesium ensures you will have the energy needed to perform at your best.
The fifth supplement I recommend is citrulline. Citrulline is an amino acid that is hard to come by in a standard diet. The food with the highest amount of citrulline is watermelon. But in order to get an effective dose of citrulline, you would have to eat pounds of water melon everyday! Not the best case scenario. The easiest way to increase your citrulline and get to the magic dose of 4 - 9g per serving is to supplement. Citrulline turns into arginine inside our body and leads to an increase in the amount of nitric oxide produced. This increases pumps while training and also increases recovery. Both are great for adding muscle.
The sixth supplement I recommend is caffeine. Caffeine is the most widely used drug in the world. So you don't need me to tell you how good it is! In the case of us gym rats, caffeine helps us perform better in so many ways. The primary benefit I focused on today was its ability to increase mental focus and decreased your perceived effort in the gym. These two things help you increase your intensity and push you beyond your limits. This is what sends the signal to our body to grow more muscle.
To learn more about the type of protein powder to take, how much creatine is ideal, the proper time to increase insulin, the right form of magnesium to take and how much caffeine you should take listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss which supplements you should take if you're an endurance athlete. Bone broth and salt are the backbone of the supplement regimen and these should be taken everyday. Bone broth is a great source of collagen and glycine, both of which will help with recovery from your long training sessions. Increasing your salt intake will also give your body the minerals it needs to recover and prevent cramping while training.
During your long training sessions or on the competition day itself, supplementing with essential amino acids, caffeine, magnesium and citrulline are all recommended by us to increase performance and allow you to perform at your best on race day.
Honorable mentions for supplements to include in your regimen, under certain circumstances, are creatine, arginine, CoQ-10, D-Ribose, L-Carnitine and exogenous ketones. All of these can help performance under certain situations, but for some people they might be redundant or unnecessary. To learn more about why you should take these supplements, how, and where to implement them into your regimen, check out this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss nitric oxide (NO) boosting supplements L - Arginine and L - Citrulline better known as pre-work out. (Topic of the podcast starts at the 9 minute mark). Why would you want to "boost" your nitric oxide levels? NO is responsible for that pumped feeling in the gym. Increasing NO will allow more oxygen to get to the working muscle, allowing you to work harder for longer. More blood flow means moving more nutrients to the muscles and moving breakdown products out of working muscles faster. This will result in better recovery from increased nutrient delivery on top of a better pump and better performance.
How is NO produced in our body? It’s primarily produced from amino acids.
The two amino acids used to boost NO levels are L arginine and L citrulline. These two amino acids are closely linked. When we consume arginine, the body breaks it down using an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase into a gas called nitric oxide and citrulline. That newly created citrulline then heads to the kidneys to get reconverted back into arginine. It's a cycle that’s continuously happening in the body.
When we consume citrulline alone, it goes straight to the kidney to get converted into arginine.
The real benefit of these supplements is the nitric oxide gas they produce. This increases blood flow throughout the entire body. It causes vasodilation, meaning an increase in the size of our blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow through our body. More blood means more oxygen and more nutrients.
To learn more about the benefits of increased nitric oxide, which supplements to take to most effectively raise nitric oxide levels in the blood, and the best dosing protocol, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the performance enhancing effects of caffeine. Caffeine is by far the most widely consumed drug in the world with about 90% of all Americans consuming some form of caffeine everyday.
The scientific community hasn't settled on a consensus on how caffeine works in the body. The best guess so far is that it works as an adenosine agonist. This prevents chemicals that make you tired from binding to their active sites, which delays fatigue, and is one of the primary ways caffeine works and increases energy levels.
The most prominent performance enhancing effect of caffeine is its ability to increase free fatty acid release into the blood. This gives your body greater access to a very clean and abundant fuel source that aids in performance, especially in endurance events that last for longer durations. The effects of caffeine on short term activities like lifting weights or sprinting have generated mixed results. Some show an increase in overall power production however, the results are mixed and not very conclusive. To learn more about the performance enhancing effects of caffeine, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the role of glutamine in the body. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body. Amino acids are primarily used as building blocks for proteins throughout the body. Glutamine can be produced by our body but it's considered a conditionally essential amino acid, because there are times when our body can’t produce enough. For example, when someone is sick or has a diet that is lacking in various nutrients.
The reason most people supplement with glutamine is to achieve muscular enhancement and for recovery from workouts to be increased. However, this reasoning is misguided. That's because the vast majority of dietary glutamine gets metabolized by our GI tract and never reaches our skeletal muscles.
That's why there has never been any strong evidence supporting the notion that increased glutamine through supplementation leads to increases in muscle gain or strength. To learn more about the real reason to supplement with glutamine and why you shouldn't waste your money on it in the hopes of increasing muscle mass, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the similarities and differences between taking a BCAA supplement or an essential amino acid supplement.
BCAA stands for branch chain amino acids and consists of three amino acids: Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine. The star of the show however is leucine, because this is the amino acid that is responsible for stimulating muscle protein synthesis. MPS is the way our body becomes bigger and stronger in response to exercise. So stimulating MPS is a good thing! However, stimulating MPS without having all the essential amino acid present is not an effective way to add muscle and take advantage of leucine anabolic properties.
An essential amino acid supplement will contain all of the BCAA's as well as methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, lysine, histidine and arginine. These amino acids are considered essential because you have to acquire them from your diet. Our bodies are unable to synthesize them by themselves.
Since an essential amino acid supplement contains the anabolic amino acid leucine, it can take advantage of its ability to stimulate MPS. On top of that, it provides all of the other amino acids needed to build new muscle therefore allowing for optimal MPS as well as muscle building. Therefore, in almost every situation it is a good idea to take essential amino acids over a BCAA supplement. To learn more about amino acids and why an essential amino acid supplement can be a good addition to your supplement regimen, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the best way to put on muscle. There are many different training techniques and principles out there. Any good training routine that focuses on hypertrophy or simply increasing the size and amount of muscle on your frame, will undoubtedly revolve around stimulating muscle protein synthesis a minimum of twice a week per body part.
How do you stimulate muscle protein synthesis? By lifting weights! The ideal scenario would be lifting 70 - 80% of your one rep max for 7 - 9 repetitions for a minimum of 8 total sets per body part.
To learn more about various training techniques and how to put on the most amount of muscle possible, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss hormonal birth control and all the problems that come along with taking the pill. The pill is one of the most over prescribed drugs in today’s world and half the women who are prescribed the pill, don't take it for birth control. They take it to manage hormonal issues for example acne and menstrual problems. The biggest complication with this is that it is only temporarily masking the issues causing the acne and menstrual problems instead of fixing the root of it. Those symptoms are likely to come back once you stop taking the pill and could come back even worse then before.
Hormonal birth control has many side effects and those side effects don't stop after you discontinue the pill. It has been shown that the pill can increase your odds of having a leaky gut which in itself increases your risk of developing an autoimmune disorder. This is one of the reasons woman are ten times more likely to develop autoimmune disorders over men. It’s been shown to negatively effect your thyroid too, which can drastically slow down your metabolism leading to weight gain.
We finish our conversation with recommendations on more natural non-hormonal forms of birth control, as well as some nutritional advice that can make getting off the pill become more smoothly. To learn more about the pill and how it really effects the female body, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how to choose the best protein powder and whether or not you should take one.
The vast majority of people don't consume enough protein throughout the day. The minimum amount of protein someone, who performs any sort of exercise, should be consuming (regardless of being male or female) is 1g of protein per pound of body weight. For example, if you weigh 200 pounds, you should try and eat 200 grams of protein per day. That is enough protein to support muscle health and the full development of muscle mass.
Women are usually afraid to consume protein powder since they've heard that it will make them bulky and gain "too much" muscle. This isn't true! Protein powder can and should be taken by women without the fear that it will change their physique in an undesirable way.
Consuming enough protein everyday can be extremely difficult for some people. If you're active and find that you can't eat enough, then you should really consider taking a protein powder. The highest quality protein powders are animal based. The gold standard is whey protein. Whey protein should be the first choice for anyone looking for a protein powder. Plant based protein powders are usually contaminated with high levels of heavy metals. They aren't bioavailable and don't contain every amino acid needed to fully support your muscles.
To learn more about why animal based protein powders are the best, how, and when to consume protein powder, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss a training technique called blood flow restriction. This technique involves tying a tourniquet around one of your limbs to partially block arterial flow from the heart and completely block venous return to the heart.
The technique is short and sweet. It's designed to maximize the stress on your muscles to induce growth in a short period of time. One monster set consisting of 30 reps followed by 3 sets of 15 reps separated by a 30 second break (all while the tourniquet is still wrapped on your limb) is all you need to experience the benefits of this training style.
What are some of the benefits? Increased muscle size and strength, as well as decreased soreness, allowing you to train your muscles more frequently throughout the week.
There's no worry of increased chances for injury, as this has been studied and BFR has been found to be safe and effective.
To learn more about BFR and all its benefits, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss ways to optimize your immune system. With the global Covid-19 pandemic, people are more concerned than ever about having a strong immune system. Luckily for you, we discuss ways in which you can prime your immune system to be as strong as possible.
The best way to ensure you have a healthy immune system is to ensure you have a diet that is high in two essential nutrients: Zinc and Vitamin D. Zinc and Vitamin D both play a huge role in keeping our immune system healthy. The best source for these nutrients are going to be animal sources. Beef is an excellent source of bioavailable zinc, and lard or cod liver oil are great sources of Vitamin D.
Another strategy to keep your immune system healthy is to maintain low blood sugar values. High blood sugar compromises our immune system and makes it weaker. Therefore, following a low carb diet that excludes grains and simple sugars will allow your immune system to stay strong all year round. To learn about more ways to optimize your immune system, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how and why we age and ways to increase your lifespan. There are various theories out there that try and explain how and why we age. Such theories include the telomere theory and the free radical theory, however, we believe that the mitochondrial theory of aging is the best theory to date that explains how and why we get old and accumulate cellular damage leading to degenerative diseases as we get older.
This theory focuses on the free radicals generated via the electron transport chain in the mitochondria and their role in aging. They serve as a signal for the overall health of the cell, informing the mitochondria if the cell is functioning properly or not.
There are ways to extend your life naturally and the biggest factor is going to be a healthy diet that contains all the nutrients that your mitochondria need to perform optimally. This would be an animal based diet that is high in all vitamins and minerals that our mitochondria needs.
To learn more about the mitochondrial theory of aging, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we continue our series on the ketogenic diet and the various conditions it can help with. This week we focus on epilepsy, which is a condition that causes individuals to suffer from seizures. Without proper management, this disease can prevent people from living normal lives; they can't drive a car, they can't keep a job. It is debilitating.
About 1/3 of all epilepsy cases are considered refractory, meaning they don't respond to medication. For these people, the ketogenic diet is usually the only viable option to have relief from their symptoms.
The ketogenic diet affects epilepsy in numerous ways, but at its core, it revolves around getting your blood glucose down, decreasing the excitability capacity of your brain, as well as increasing the seizure threshold.
To learn more about how a low carb ketogenic diet can help manage epilepsy, listen to this week's podcast.
In this week's podcast, we discuss how the ketogenic diet can help prevent you from getting Alzheimer's disease (AD). AD is a common, progressive, neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects older people in their 70’s and 80’s.
People suffering from AD have gross structural changes in their brains, such as loss of neurons in the hippocampus area of the brain. That's the area of the brain that plays a major role in memory and learning.
The cause of AD has been the subject of debate. The current favored model is the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which proposes that peptides generated from the amyloid precursor protein are the causative factor, and reducing the generation or accumulation of these peptides will treat the disease. This theory revolves around the build up of this amyloid plaque in the brain; the more amyloid plaque in the brain, the higher your chances of getting AD. You can think of this almost like plaque build up on your teeth. The more plaque on your teeth, the higher chances you have of getting cavities.
Alzheimer's disease is the major cause of age-related cognitive decline, with approximately 5.4 million Americans affected and 30 million affected globally.
There are no effective drugs out there; billions of dollars has been spent on research and there’s nothing to show for it.
We want to look at how AD can be better managed on a low carb, ketogenic diet. We truly believe in the power of food as medicine. The ketogenic diet is the optimal human diet that gives your body the best chance to heal from all of life's traumas. To learn more about AD and how a low carb diet can help you better manage it, listen to this week's podcast. Link's to studies mentioned available on website.
In this week's podcast, we continue our conversation on how the ketogenic diet can be used to help prevent you from getting cancer.
Cancer is a disease that affects us all in some way or another, so I believe it is very important for people to understand how cancer really works and why going on a low carb diet is one of the best things you can do to help you avoid ever getting it.
Right now there are two competing theories on how we should view cancer: the gene theory, which focuses on damage to DNA and how that effects the cell cycle, and the metabolic theory, which focuses on the dysfunctional metabolism of cancer cells.
I truly believe the metabolic theory of cancer is correct. The gene theory has taken charge of most of the research and development of a cure for the past 40 years and nothing has come of it. We are no closer today to a cure than we were 40 years ago and that’s because we’re viewing cancer through the wrong lens.
If we were to focus on cancer through the lens of the metabolic theory, it would become very clear that cancer is a disease of dysfunctional metabolism. More specifically, damage done to our mitochondria sets the stage for a series of events that make our cells rely more and more on glycolysis and activates the genetic pathways that result in the cell becoming immortal.
Cancer cells have dysfunctional mitochondria that prevents them from efficiently metabolizing fatty acids and ketone bodies. This forces them to rely on sugar for the majority of their energy. This sets the stage for cancer. When cancer cells increase their capability to burn glucose, called the retrograde response, they also turn on genes that prevent cancer cells from dying. Now the cells rely heavily on sugar for fuel and won’t die. This is cancer!
The best way to avoid this from happening to you is to limit the amount of fuel these cancer cells have access to; this is the ketogenic diet. This low carb diet sets the stage that prevents cancer from ever developing. To learn more about how the ketogenic diet can help prevent cancer, listen to this week’s podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the ketogenic diet can put autoimmune conditions in remission.
Autoimmune disorders come in many shapes and sizes, ranging from type 1 diabetes to ulcerative colitis, resulting in many different symptoms, but they all have the same root cause: leaky gut. Damage to the intestinal wall allows undigested food particles to enter our blood supply that can eventually lead to an immune response. Our immune system recognizes these undigested food particles as foreign invaders and tries to eliminate them. This is the proper response. However, overtime the immune system can become hyperactive and mistake our own cells as one of these foreign invaders, known as cellular mimicry, and it will start to attack our own cells as if they're not supposed to be there. This is what happens when you develop an autoimmune disease.
None of this would happen if the intestinal barrier remained intact and strong. So what's the quickest way to destroy our gut? Eating foods that are rich in lectins such as gluten from wheat. Gluten activates a protein called zonulin, which breaks down the tight gap junctions between our intestinal cells and allows particles to get past them. So removing these toxic foods is a must if you want to heal your gut.
Luckily, all foods that are very high in gluten are not allowed on the ketogenic diet. Foods like oatmeal and bread. Therefore, a properly formulated ketogenic diet will give your GI tract time to heal. Once that happens, your body can finally start fighting back against the autoimmune condition. To learn more about how the ketogenic diet can help put autoimmune conditions in remission, listen to this week's podcast. Links to studies mentioned available on website.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the ketogenic diet can help cure gout. Gout is a build up of uric acid in the blood. Once uric acid gets too a high enough point in the blood, it precipitates out into the soft tissues throughout our body, usually in the hands and feet. The classic spot is the big toe! This can be extremely painful and debilitating for people suffering a gout flair up.
It's common knowledge amongst physicians that gout is caused by uric acid. But where does uric acid come from? It comes from something called purines. There are multiple sources of purines, however, this has caused many doctors to blame purines from protein-rich foods like red meat for gout flair ups, causing them to recommend a low purine diet for the management of gout. This is not a good recommendation or method to lower uric acid in the blood! Research shows that a diet low in purines is ineffective at lowering uric acid levels. Uric acid gets elevated to a harmful point when our kidneys stop excreting adequate amounts of uric acid. What's the signal telling our kidneys to reabsorb uric acid instead of excreting it? Insulin! Our kidneys can excrete a lot of uric acid when they don't get the cue from insulin to reabsorb it.
Insulin is the hormone that gets elevated when you eat carbohydrates. Chronically elevated insulin, called hyperinsulinemia, and insulin resistance are the true drivers of gout, not protein-rich foods! To learn why insulin drives gout, not meat, listen to this week's podcast. Links to studies mentioned available on website.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the ketogenic diet can improve heart health. The current heart healthy diet promoted by the American Heart Association is a low fat, high carb diet. This diet couldn't be farther from "heart healthy" if it tried. A truly heart healthy diet provides adequate amounts of fat for the heart to use as fuel. A well formulated ketogenic diet is high in saturated fat which is the heart's preferred fuel source. The heart is our bodies' hardest working organ. It pumps blood 24/7 365 for our entire lives. So it's crucial that it receives enough energy to do this job properly. The best and most efficient way to produce ATP, which is the fuel source used by our cells, is oxidative phosphorylation inside our mitochondria. Fat is only burned in this fashion inside the mitochondria. So it makes sense that the heart loves fat so much. To learn more about why a high fat ketogenic diet is heart healthy, listen to this week's podcast. Links to studies mentioned on website.

In this week's podcast, we continue our conversation on diabetes and how a low carb diet can help put diabetes in remission.
I first wanted to clarify the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic no longer produces insulin but a type 2 diabetic continues to produce insulin but their body no longer properly responds to insulin.
Someone with type 1 diabetes will always have to take some insulin but it can be better managed on a ketogenic diet. However, someone with type 2 diabetes has a great chance of getting off insulin and completely reversing their diabetes if they follow a ketogenic diet long enough.
The current standard of care for diabetes is to give diabetics insulin, which is extremely stupid! Type 2 diabetes is a disease of too much insulin, therefore, you will never cure this disease by giving someone more insulin. Years of eating too many carbohydrates paired with fat will cause a person's pancreas to become dysfunctional, leading to diabetes. The alpha cells in the pancreas that produce glucagon no longer listen to the normal suppressive effects insulin has on endogenous glucose production.
Normally, when you eat carbohydrates, your body breaks down the carbohydrates into glucose, elevating blood sugar levels. This is normal, and occurs for everyone. However, in a diabetic, their livers will produce glucose via gluconeogenesis, on top of the ingested carbohydrates. This is the vicious cycle of diabetes and results in chronically elevated blood sugars.

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the ketogenic diet can reverse diabetes. Despite what traditional medical professionals tell you, diabetes doesn't have to be a chronic lifelong condition. It can be reversed.
Low carb intervention can reverse diabetes because at its core, diabetes is a disease of too much fat accumulation. Years of bad eating, meaning pairing high carb and high fat meals together, lead to an accumulation of fat in cells in places like our liver, pancreas and muscles. This is called ectopic fat. Once this occurs, your body is no longer able to maintain a healthy blood sugar value and your blood sugar goes sky high.
The trick to reversing diabetes is to get the fat out of these tissues that don't want it. The best way to do that is to go low carb. Switching to a ketogenic diet will lower your blood insulin levels and give your body the opportunity to mobilize the fat out of your internal organs and burn it for fuel. Once this occurs, your cells will slowly start to become more sensitive to insulin and you will officially be on the road to recovery!

In this week's podcast, we continue our conversation on therapeutic aspects of the ketogenic diet. More specifically, how the ketogenic diet affects the NADH/NAD ratio. What's that you might ask?
Well, NAD stands for nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. It's a cofactor found in every cell in our body and is a pivotal player in numerous reactions throughout our entire body.
We focused on the role of NAD as it pertains to the proteins called sirtuins. Sirtuins are a group of proteins that control how old or young our cells are. When they're active, they're able to perform a process called deacetylation, which is very important within our cells. Removing acetyl groups from proteins allows them to be acted upon and puts them in their "active" form, meaning they're now able to do work.
One of these proteins is histone. Histones are a group of proteins that our DNA wraps itself around for protection. When they have an acetyl group on them, our DNA is unwound and unprotected. However, in the presence of NAD, sirtuins are capable of removing that acetyl group, allowing our DNA to wrap back around the histones for protection. This is just one of the ways sirtuins keep our cells young.
A high carb diet depletes the body of NAD, which limits the ability of sirtuins to do their job. A ketogenic diet regenerates NAD, giving sirtuins the tools they need to perform optimally. To learn more, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the problems with relying on carbs as your primary fuel source. Compared to fat, carbs are simply too dirty as a fuel source to rely on every day. Topic of the podcast starts at the 7-minute mark.
Carbohydrates have to first be pre-processed in the cytosol of our cell to pyruvate before they can enter our mitochondria for aerobic respiration. This pre-processing produces potent toxins in our body, like methylglyoxal.
Methylglyoxal is a potent glycating agent that damages our DNA and mitochondria. This toxic compound is responsible for most of the ailments associated with diabetes like high blood pressure and poor wound healing.
The amount of carbs we eat directly increase the amount of methylglyoxal in our bodies and leads to more cellular damage. So a high carb diet is damaging in this way.
Ingesting fat has none of these pitfalls. Fats don't cause glycation and don't need to be pre-processed before entering our mitochondria. They can be directly taken into our mitochondria by L-Carnitine. This is one of the reasons that relying on fat for your primary fuel source is better. To learn more about the benefits of fat, listen to this week's podcast. Link to studies mentioned on website.

In this week’s podcast, we interview Travis Statham. Travis is a huge advocate of the carnivore diet and has a deep knowledge of the history and science behind it. With that in mind, we brought him on to talk about humans being classified as facultative carnivores instead of a strictly omnivorous species. A facultative carnivore is defined as a species that thrives optimally on a meat based diet. The definition isn’t concerned about what humans can eat, but rather about what humans should eat and were designed to eat.
The are many reasons why humans should be classified as facultative carnivores which include, but are not limited to:
Stomach Structure and pH GI Tract Anatomy

In this week's podcast, we discuss how to do the keto diet properly. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet about the ketogenic diet, including promoting various highly processed foods as keto-approved. That's what prompted us to do this episode.
The foundation of a properly formulated ketogenic diet is a reduction of dietary carbohydrates. Ideally, you would keep your total daily carbs to 30 grams or less a day. Some proponents of the keto diet do not count carbs from green leafy vegetables or fiber, however, we believe you should still count these sources towards your daily carb count. At the end of the day, they still contribute to the amount of glucose you're taking in.
You want to ensure the bulk of your calories come from fat. This is going to be your primary fuel source. Ideally, you would get both your fat and dietary protein from natural whole foods. Something like a ribeye steak would be a perfect keto meal. Steak is an awesome source of protein as well as fatty acids.
Can you eat steak or bacon and eggs everyday on the keto diet? Yes! This makes it way more sustainable than most people think. No one ever gets sick of bacon and eggs.
To learn more about some keto approved meals and ways to do keto right, listen to this week's podcast!

In this week's podcast, we discuss how the keto diet affects the performance of athletes.
It is stated often that you need carbohydrates to perform optimally in competition, that you need carbs to perform explosive style movements.
This isn't inherently wrong, however, what is wrong is the idea that you need to consume carbohydrates to achieve this state. You don't need to consume any carbohydrates in your diet to contain adequate amounts of stored sugar in our muscles in the form of glycogen.
It has been shown that low carb athletes have just as much glycogen, which is glucose stored in muscle, as high-carb athletes. This means they suffer no ill effects from their low carb diet on competition day.
An advantage that these fat-adapted athletes have, however, is that they better burn fat for fuel over athletes that rely on carbohydrates for their main energy source. This means they can perform harder for longer without burning out.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the many different ways you can do the keto diet wrong. The topic of the podcast starts at the 15-minute mark.
The keto diet revolves around keeping your dietary carbohydrates low, preferably to 30 grams or less everyday. This allows your body to tap into its own body fat for fuel and create ketone bodies. To learn more about the creation of ketone bodies, check out Episode 69 Keto Explained.
Some of the biggest mistakes people make when starting the keto diet are relying too much on artificial sweeteners, nut butters, and restricting dietary protein. This is a bad combination and an easy way to get fat and sick, even on the keto diet.
To learn more about these common pitfalls of the ketogenic diet, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we debunk the vegan propaganda film, The Game Changers. This movie makes various false claims about the benefits of the vegan diet for athletes.
The vegan diet isn't optimal for anyone, but especially not for athletes. Individuals under that much physical stress need adequate nutrition to properly fuel their workouts and promote complete recovery from their training sessions.

In this week's podcast, we talk about how much water you need to drink to maintain your health. The topic of the podcast starts at the nine-minute mark.
It's common to see people carrying huge flasks full of water these days. That's because there's a common misconception that you need to drink at least 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water a day to maintain health and stay properly hydrated.
This isn't true!!
There has never been any study showing a marked improvement in health by drinking water in excess of thirst.
We consume water in multiple ways whether you know it or not. The food we eat contains water. For example, a typical steak is 70% water. The coffee we drink in the morning contains water. So through these various sources, the vast majority of people usually stay properly hydrated throughout the day without needing to take in more water.
The best recommendation would be to drink water with meals and let thirst guide your water intake throughout the day.
To learn more about the history of the 8 X 8 guidelines, why drinking water in excess isn't healthy, and why urine color isn't a good marker for hydration status, listen to this week's podcast. Links to studies mentioned available on website.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the effects that excess stress can have on your physique and your health. Topic of the podcast starts at the 12 minute mark.
Stress causes our body to release the hormone cortisol. Cortisol is a catabolic hormone that initiates the release of amino acids, fatty acids and glucose into the blood supply, all with the end goal of supplying the body with quick fuel to help it better handle a stressful situation.
In normal situations, stress and the following cortisol release are nothing to worry about. It's natural and your body knows how to handle it. However, when this hormone is constantly elevated from a number of stressors, it can cause numerous health effects.
These can range from high blood pressure, increased body fat, increased visceral fat, diabetes and heart disease, to name a few.
To learn more about the harmful effects stress has on our bodies, listen to this week's podcast. Links to studies mentioned available on website.

In this week's podcast, we discuss a fat loss technique called adaptive thermogenesis. This technique can increase your metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories everyday without doing any extra work. Topic of podcast starts at the 10 minute mark.
So how do you take advantage of adaptive thermogenesis??
Cold exposure!
Simple and easy! Simply take a cold shower everyday and watch your metabolism increase.
To learn more about the science of adaptive thermogenesis and the awesome benefits of cold showers (such as increased endogenous antioxidant production, anti-tumor effects and an improved immune system), listen to this week's podcast!

In this week's podcast, we discuss the blood type diet. Topic of podcast starts at the 10 minute mark.
This diet was popularized by the book “Eat Right For Your Type” by Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo in 1996. Over 7 million copies were sold in over 60 languages.
D’Adamo claims that each ABO blood type processes food differently.
Therefore, he recommends individualized diets specifically for your blood type: 4 blood types, 4 diets, based off of what your specific ancestors supposedly ate.
Sorry to disappoint, but this diet is complete BS. We explain why in this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the alkaline diet.
According to this diet, it is in our best interest to make sure we eat more alkaline foods than acid foods, so that we end up an a more overall alkaline state.
This will supposedly protect us from the diseases of modern civilization; things like cancer, obesity and diabetes. To test this, you measure the pH of your urine using pH strips. pH is the measure of a sample's acidity or alkalinity.
In order to get in a more alkaline state, this diet promotes the consumption of fruits and vegetables. However, what proponents of this diet don't tell you, is that the food we eat has no effect on our blood pH.
The food we eat can and does change the pH of our urine, however, urine pH has no effect on blood pH nor has it been shown to have any impact on our overall health. So it's a pointless measurement that provides no meaningful data.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the Mediterranean Diet. The topic of the podcast starts at the 9-minute mark and the tip of the week starts at the 45-minute mark.
The Mediterranean Diet initially came into existence in the 80's and it allows more fat intake than the standard American diet.
The standard American diet allows for 20% - 30% of total calories from fat. The Mediterranean Diet allows for 40% of total calories to come from fat. This additional fat comes from mainly olive oil.
Olive oil is a monounsaturated fat that is heat stable and a good addition to a healthy diet. However, it doesn't have any special properties that make it stand head and shoulders above other fat choices. Animal sources of fat like lard or tallow are still better fat options.
The narrative that olive oil has been a staple of the human diet for thousands of years is not true. Olive oil began to be consumed more regularly in the 19th century. Before that, olive oil was used mainly for anointing people or to make soap.
To learn more about the history of the Mediterranean Diet and what makes this diet less than ideal for weight loss, check out this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the idea that you have to count calories to lose weight. This couldn't be further from the truth. The "calories in calories out"(CICO) model for weight loss is flawed on so many levels.
We touch on multiple studies that show more weight loss can occur on a low carb diet rather than on a low fat diet with the same amount of calories consume, disproving CICO!
We discuss a study that shows how simply having three meals a day instead of the recommended six small meals a day can induce more weight loss even with the same amount of calories. Disproving CICO!
The laws of thermodynamics are mistakenly used to justify the CICO model. The human body is not a closed system. The entire backbone of the CICO model claims that all macro nutrients should be treated equally on a metabolic level. This violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics, which states that the variation of efficiency for different metabolic pathways is to be expected, meaning we should not treat carbs, fats, and proteins as equals.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the most optimal diet to feed your dogs. The topic of the podcast starts at the 11 minute mark.
Dogs are monogastrics (meaning they have one stomach) and share an almost identical GI tract to humans, so feeding your dogs the same diet that you eat is perfectly fine as long as you eat an animal-based species-appropriate diet.
A dog's diet should consist of bone broth, organ meats, muscle meats and added fats when necessary like butter or lard.
To learn why your dog's diet should consist of these foods, check out these week's podcast!

In this week's podcast, we talk about fiber and why most people believe fiber is an essential part of a healthy diet. Spoiler alert- it's not! The topic of the show starts at the 13-minute mark.
It is routinely claimed that fiber can cure various ailments from constipation to cancer. For starters, the evidence to support these claims doesn't exist.
In actuality, fiber at its best is an antidote for the poisonous effects of sugar, blunting the rapid blood sugar increase from sugary foods. At its worst, fiber can irritate the GI tract and increase your odds of diverticulitis and lead to severe constipation.
To learn more about the history of fiber, listen to this week's podcast. Links to all studies mentioned, available on website.

In this week's podcast, we continue our conversation about the tools needed to accomplish your first ultra marathon.
Preparing for an ultra marathon is extremely taxing on the body, so it's important to focus on getting adequate recovery every week. With this in mind, we go over some basic techniques that can help keep you performing optimally and free of injury.
We also go over the proper nutrition needed to fuel these intense workouts. Carbs are completely nonessential, and for the months up to the race should only account for roughly 10% of your total daily calories. However, race day is another story. Carbs are now going to be your best friend. Carbs are fast acting fuel, jet fuel as we like to say. On the day of the race, that's exactly what you'll need. We outline what carb sources you should go with and when to implement them during the race.
We finish the podcast discussing some of the specialty gear you'll need to train for and compete in an ultra marathon.
For more details on this and more, please check out the podcast.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss the nutritional deficiencies of a plant based diet. We focus on vitamins, minerals, quality proteins and essential fatty acids that are lacking in this diet, which is due from both low amounts in allowed foods and poor bioavailability.
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamin B-12 Vitamin A Vitamin K2 Vitamin D3 Mineral Iron Mineral Zinc Honorable Mention to the Five C’s
These nutrients are also lacking in a plant based diet:
Cholesterol Carnitine Carnosine Creatine Choline Crude Protein vs. True Protein
Crude protein is a measure of all the nitrogen in any given sample of food. When it comes to cattle, it’s a great method of measuring feed quality in order to make sure the feed given to cattle has enough nitrogen in it. Ruminants can absorb non-protein nitrogen and turn it into protein-based nitrogen in the form of amino acids. This is called nutrient up-cycling. Ruminants convert low grade, non-edible food into nutrient dense food for us. However, crude protein is a bad way to gauge protein content in foods for humans, because humans and other animals with only one stomach (monogastrics) such as chickens, pigs, lions and dogs can’t absorb non-protein nitrogen; they can only absorb nitrogen in the form of amino acids.
Fatty Acids
The three main omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
Both Omega 3 and 6 fats are converted into prostaglandins which are locally produced hormones that are vital for our health.
ALA is 18 carbons long. It first gets elongated to 20 carbons, turning it into EPA. Then, it gets elongated again to 22 carbons, which is DHA.
The primary essential fatty acids that are responsible for improving our health are EPA and DHA. Our body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA. But it does this very poorly. The conversion from ALA to DHA, for example, is anywhere from 0% to 9%.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the popular vegan propaganda movie, What The Health.
This movie makes 37 various health claims. The biggest of them, in my opinion, is that red meat and processed meat cause cancer.
They use the World Health Organization report from 2015 titled, "Carcinogenicity of consumption of red and processed meat" as support for these claims.
This report is not a scientific document. Instead, it is a political document that provides no hard evidence whatsoever to support the claim that red and processed meat cause cancer.
We cover this document in detail and breakdown why it's not scientifically sound and why you shouldn't fear eating bacon. Check it out! Links to studies mentioned on podcast available on website.

In this week's podcast, we review the movie, “Fat: A Documentary” by Vinnie Tortorich. This movie outlines the crazy history of the US dietary guidelines and how we got it all wrong!
The movie covers topics ranging from:
-The all-meat diet and the studies done on the original carnivore diet practitioner Vilhjalmur Stefansson.
-The ground breaking research of Otto Warburg outlining the dysfunctional metabolism of cancer cells and their ability to ferment glucose even in the presence of oxygen.
-The ways in which World War 2 drastically changed the perception of diet on our overall health.
-How President Eisenhower having a heart attack shifted the dietary recommendations for the entire nation.
-And of course, it also touched on the dreaded Ancel Keys and his Diet Heart Hypothesis.
We review all these topics and much more on this podcast and finish by giving our overall impressions of the movie, so go check it out!

In this week's podcast, we discuss some of the dangers of using traditional sunscreen products. The chemicals used in sunscreen that block the UV radiation from the sun have been shown to cause various health effects and can be disruptive to our endocrine system leading to altered estrogen, androgen, and progesterone activity.
We give advice on how to better protect yourself when you're going to be out in the sun for extended periods of time as well as give recommendations on what type of sunscreen to use if you choose to still use it.
If you currently use sunscreen frequently, or know anyone who does, you should listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the health benefits of salt.
Salt is a 100% essential nutrient. Without it, you would die. We've blamed the wrong white crystal for our health woes. Instead of blaming salt, we should have blamed sugar.
It's a commonly held belief that excess salt is bad for you and that it leads to hypertension, increasing your chances of developing heart disease. This isn't true!
We discuss the history of salt and why so many people mistakenly believe salt raises blood pressure. This idea has its roots in bad science and the obsession of one man, Lewis Dahl.
We discuss the health benefits of a high salt diet and the consequences of a low salt diet.
To learn more about the health benefits of salt and the science backing up the claim that we should eat more salt, check out this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we interview Taylor Peasha. He is the co-creator of The Sciatic Stretcher, a great tool used to increase mobility, loosen tight muscles throughout the body, and relieve sciatic nerve pain.
In essence, this is a lacrosse ball that has an elastic band through it, allowing you to better control where the lacrosse ball goes and to get into the tight places you might not be able to reach otherwise.
This piece of equipment should fit great into your arsenal to help promote recovery and mobility.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the health benefits of bone broth. Bone broth has been used for thousands of years as a natural remedy for various ailments and rightly so. It's jammed pack with healthy fats, high quality protein, and essential minerals the body needs to function optimally.
I recommend using beef knuckles and shanks if you decide to make your own bone broth.
Recipe:
Step 1: Cook bones in oven for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees F
Step 2: Place bones in pressure cooker and cover completely with water.
Step 3: Add one to two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
Step 4: Cook on high for 45 minutes
Step 5: Strain and serve
It's best stored in stainless steal containers. You can add various herbs and spices to bone broth if desired.Some of my favorite things to add are garlic and onions. This gives the bone broth a more appealing flavor.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the health benefits of eating eggs.

In this week's podcast, we start our five part series on the best, most nutritious food to eat starting with healthy fats.
We consider all fats from nature to be healthy. Those include: butter, ghee, beef tallow, lard, olive oil and coconut oil.
Sorry seed oils, you didn't make the list!
We cover the studies that show that increased saturated fat in the diet leads to less cases of cardiovascular disease. We also look into the nations that eat the most meat and result in having the longest life expectancy amongst their populations.
To learn more about healthy fats and their role in a healthy diet, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the dangers of using soy infant formula. Most people believe that soy is a "health" food. That isn't the case! Soy, no matter how you slice it, is not a health food. Actually, there is nothing healthy about it. The carbohydrates are indigestible by our body, causing bloating and gas, the protein is incomplete and of overall poor quality, and the fat is predominately the pro inflammatory omega 6 fat linoleic acid, which has been linked to all the diseases of western civilization like heart disease, cancer and diabetes.
In the case of infant formula, soy is so lacking in any nutrients that all the vitamins and minerals need to be added after manufacturing the product in the form of supplements. Food manufacturers have to do this because soy is so high in various anti nutrients that it inhibits our body's ability to properly absorb any vitamins and minerals that are present in soy.
Soy should never be eaten in my opinion! Soy is a natural fertilizer and it should stay in the field where it belongs, not in your kitchen!
To find out more about the dangers of eating soy, check out this week's podcast.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss the metabolic effects of eating donuts. Sorry to break it to you, but donuts might be the worst thing in the world to eat.
First, they’re loaded with sugar! We just went over the effects of sugar in a recent podcast. Episode 40.
Second, they’re always fried in industrial seed oils. We just went over the effects of industrial seed oils in a recent podcast. Episode 39.
The main focus of this podcast revolved around the combo of pairing fat with sugar (and how that is a quick way to become diabetic) as well as the anti-nutrient, Lectin, which, in the case of donuts, is the lectin known as wheat germ aglutinin, better known as gluten.
If you want to learn more about the metabolic effects of pairing fat with sugar, as well as what’s really going on with all this “gluten” talk, check out this week’s podcast.

In this week's podcast, we take a look into the metabolic effects of eating Doritos. Doritos consist of highly processed corn meal, cooked in industrial seed oils, and are covered in the carcinogen, glyphosate. On top of that, they contain chemical flavor additives that trick our brain into thinking it's eating a whole taco with all the associated nutrients. However, the Doritos only provide nutrients in the form of fast acting carbs. This will lead the body to over indulge on these foods in the hope of eventually finding some actual nutrients. If you want to learn more about the effects of artificial flavoring and the tricks that processed food manufacturers use to keep us coming back, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we take a deep dive into the harmful effects of industrial seed oils. These include canola, soy, rapeseed, crisco, safflower and rice bran. These oils are high in the polyunsaturated omega 6 fat linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is easily oxidized both inside and outside of the body leading to the formation of oxidized linoleic acid metabolites. These include:
Acrolein- the acute toxin found in cigarette smoke. Biocide- meaning it's toxic to all life
HNE- 4-Hydroxynonenal, only produced from omega 6 fats Makes it a good marker to track omega 6 damageCytotoxic- kills living cells, mutagenic- induces mutations in DNA, genotoxic- destroys DNA. Both genomic and mitochondrial DNAWater soluble- meaning it can leave the cell of origin and travel through body
MDA- MalondialdehydeCytotoxic- kills living cells, mutagenic- induces mutations in DNA, genotoxic- destroys DNA. Both genomic and mitochondrial DNA
These toxins wreak havoc in our bodies and can contribute to developing heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, to name a few. To find out more about these harmful byproducts and ways to optimize your diet, check out this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we take a deep dive into high protein diets and how they affect our kidneys. There is a popular narrative that a high protein diet can be hard on our kidneys. This isn't true!!
There has never been any study showing a high protein diet will harm our kidneys.
We look into the mechanism of increased urea production with a high protein diet and also look into the science for why people with kidney disease are placed on a low protein diet.
Spoiler, the "science" is bogus!
If you're interested in learning more about protein and kidney health, listen to this week's podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss protein poisoning, also known as rabbit starvation.
Rabbit starvation is an observation made when North American explorers ate nothing but rabbit meat and suffered several consequences including hunger and death. It did not matter how much rabbit they ate either. They could have a full stomach and still have symptoms.This is not limited to rabbits, however. Eating nothing but lean meat will result in the same symptoms. It is observed when protein makes up 45% or more of the calories in the diet. Rabbit meat is 60% protein and 40% fat.
If you're interested in learning more about protein poisoning, then listen to this week's podcast

In this week’s podcast, we interview Travis Statham. Travis is a huge advocate of the carnivore diet and has a deep knowledge of the history and science behind it. With that in mind, we brought him on to talk about humans being classified as facultative carnivores instead of a strictly omnivorous species. A facultative carnivore is defined as a species that thrives optimally on a meat based diet. The definition isn’t concerned about what humans can eat, but rather about what humans should eat and were designed to eat.
The are many reasons why humans should be classified as facultative carnivores which include, but are not limited to:
Stomach Structure and pH GI Tract Anatomy

In this week’s podcast, we discuss gluconeogenesis. Gluconeogenesis is how our body creates new sugar. It’s a common myth that eating protein in excess will lead to an increase in gluconeogenesis. However, this is not the case. Gluconeogenesis is demand-driven (hormones), not substrate-driven (amino acids.) So don’t worry my fellow gym bros, feel free to eat all the protein you want. If you’re interested to learn more about protein metabolism and gluconeogenesis, check out this week’s podcast. Link's to all the studies mentioned are available on our website.

In this week’s podcast, we discuss the myth that we can only absorb 30 grams of protein per meal. This common misconception isn’t rooted in any facts. As long as the protein is in the form of meat, our body can absorb almost all of the protein ingested. The digestion of protein occurs in the small intestines, which are over 23 feet long. This gives our body ample time to fully absorb all of the available amino acids. The rate limiting step is the urea cycle, which is how our body disposes of nitrogen found in protein. Our body will convert ammonia into inert urea and excrete it in our urine. If you’re interested in learning more about protein absorption, and to hear about other examples of how we can clearly absorb more than 30 grams of protein per meal, listen to this podcast.

In this week's podcast, we discuss Intermittent Fasting
Podcast Topic starts at 12:00min mark
What is Intermittent Fasting (IF)?
Intermittent fasting is simply time restricted eating. For example, you eat your first meal at 10 am and your last meal at 6 pm.
This example is a 16/8 IF, meaning you fast for 16 hours and your feeding window is 8 hours. During a feeding window, there is no limit on how much you eat.
IF can be anywhere from 12/12 to one meal a day (OMAD).
I’ve never heard of IF, is this a new idea?
No this isn't a new idea, it's now just being rediscovered. Think of our ancient ancestors for a minute. Before the invention of fire, the only light source was the sun. I can’t see in the dark and neither could they. Everyone I know eats in the light so they could see what they’re eating. It’s not a stretch to assume that our ancestors would only eat during daylight hours, a natural IF protocol.
What can I eat during my fasted state?
Fasting is a spectrum, not a light switch. The less you consume, the better, but don’t worry about putting a little something in your stomach if it will push back your feeding window longer. Here is a quick list of approved foods starting with the best:
WATER!!! Salt Minerals Coffee/Tea Bone broth
What to avoid?
Avoid consuming anything sweet, even if it has no calories. Many artificial sweeteners can trick your body into producing insulin because it thinks you’re consuming sugar. Keeping insulin levels low is the key to fasting.
What should I eat during my feeding window?
A real food low carb/high fat diet would be best, but you can still get some of the benefits on any diet. A low carb/high fat diet will help your body adjust to using fat for fuel and make the fasting period much easier with fewer hunger cues.
This is called being fat adapted. Being fat adapted allows our bodies to better utilize and tap into our own body fat stores for fuel. Also it allows us to better metabolize large fatty meals.
We dive deeper into the health benefits of intermittent fasting in the rest of the podcast. Also, more detailed show notes available on website, which includes links to all the studies mentioned.

In this week’s podcast, we continue our discussion of the nutritional deficiencies of the vegan diet. We focus on proteins and fats that are lacking in the vegan diet, which is due from both low amounts in allowed foods and poor bioavailability.
Crude Protein vs. True Protein
Crude protein is a measure of all the nitrogen in any given sample of food. When it comes to cattle, it's a great method of measuring feed quality in order to make sure the feed given to cattle has enough nitrogen in it. Ruminants can absorb non-protein nitrogen and turn it into protein-based nitrogen in the form of amino acids. This is called nutrient up-cycling. Ruminants convert low grade, non-edible food into nutrient dense food for us. Crude protein is a bad way to gauge protein content in foods for humans, however, because humans and other animals with only one stomach (monogastrics) such as chickens, pigs, lions and dogs can't absorb non-protein nitrogen. They can only absorb nitrogen in the form of amino acids.
Fatty Acids
The three main omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
Both Omega 3 and 6 fats are converted into prostaglandins which are locally produced hormones that are vital for our health.
ALA is 18 carbons long. It first gets elongated to 20 carbons, turning it into EPA. Then, it gets elongated again to 22 carbons, which is DHA.
The primary essential fatty acids that are responsible for improving our health are EPA and DHA. Our body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA. But it does this very poorly. The conversion from ALA to DHA, for example, is anywhere from 0% to 9%.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the nutritional deficiencies of the vegan diet. We broke this podcast up into two parts. Part one will focus on Vitamins and Minerals that are lacking in the vegan diet, which is due from both low amounts in allowed foods and poor bioavailability. They include:
Vitamin B-12 Vitamin A Vitamin K2 Vitamin D3 Mineral Iron Mineral Zinc
Honorable Mention to the Five C's
These nutrients are also lacking in a vegan diet:
Cholesterol Carnitine Carnosine Creatine Choline

In this week's podcast, we discuss the athletic benefits of the carnivore diet, including the high protein content of an all-meat diet as well as the naturally occurring peptides, carnosine and creatine, found in meat which promote increased performance.
Meat contains bioavailable and easily-absorbed essential fatty acids, including the omega 3's, EPA and DHA, which are only found in animal sources. Meat contains all 9 essential amino acids as well as the conditionally essential amino acids Conditionally Essentially amino acids Arginine Glycine Proline Glutamine Tyrosine Serine Cysteine - Methionine is precursor Taurine - Methionine is precursor
Carnosine Benefits
Carnosine as a buffer "Carnosine exhibits excellent buffering capacity at physiological pH values: concentrations of carnosine are such that they can provide up to 40% of the pH-buffering capacity of skeletal muscle." This ability of carnosine allows you to workout harder for longer.
What is it? Carnosine (beta-alanine-histidine) is a dipeptide, a binding of the amino acids, alanine and histidine, a non-enzymatic free radical scavenger and a natural antioxidant.
Only found in animal products, mainly muscle meat.
In our bodies, it's found mainly in skeletal muscle. But it’s also found in high concentrations in the brain and heart-locations that have a high energy demand.
Amount of carnosine in food:
Turkey Pectoral: 530mg/100g, 2400mg/lb Pork: 460mg/100g, 2000mg/lb Beef: 380mg/100g, 1700mg/lb

Podcast Episode 20
In this week’s podcast, we talk about a few techniques to survive Thanksgiving.
Tyson’s Top 3 Tips
1-Start with an all-meat plate. Load up on turkey, ham, steak- whatever meat is available for your first dish.
2-Get moving after your meal. No matter what you eat, electrons build up in the ETC and leak out of the mitochondria more readily if there isn’t a steady supply of ADP. We get ADP from burning ATP. So get moving.
3-Don’t take any left overs home and don’t let this cheat meal turn into three cheat days.
Tom’s Top 3 Tips
1-Don’t stress out, it’s only one meal. You can’t gain 10 lbs from a 2lb meal
2-Eat before you go, and you'll be less likely to eat everything in sight
3-Bring a dish that can serve as a meal for you if you are trying to eat healthy

In this week’s podcast, we discuss the nutritional supplement CoQ-10. CoQ-10 is a vital antioxidant in our body that is involved in numerous chemical reactions. Arguably, the most important of these jobs is its role as an electron carrier in the electron transport chain (ETC). Specifically, it's involved in complex 1, 2 and 3 of the ETC. Complex 1 and Complex 3 are the sites in our bodies that produce the highest amounts of endogenous free radicals, more specifically, the free radical superoxide. These are created when electrons leak out of the ETC and react with the surrounding oxygen. So this is where the powerful antioxidant effects of CoQ-10 really shine and help our body deal with the oxidative stress created by our metabolism.
People who should really consider supplementing with CoQ-10 are people currently taking a statin. Statins prevent our bodies from synthesizing CoQ-10. 80% of the CoQ-10 in our bodies is synthesized by our body. Since it is such a large molecule, it is hard to absorb from the food we eat. Since statins block the body’s ability to create CoQ-10, one must supplement with it if one wants to take advantage of its beneficial properties.
The best form and most easily absorbed version of CoQ-10 to take is the reduced version, Ubiquinol. CoQ-10 is a large and fat soluble molecule, so try and find a supplement that is water soluble and pre-emulsified.
The recommended dose is anywhere from 100mg-3,000mg daily. This will depend on your particular metabolic needs. Most neurological conditions require a higher dose to help it cross the blood brain barrier more effectively. We recommend starting out on a low dose and slowly increasing it until you see a decrease in your particular symptoms.

In this week's podcast, we discuss cancer. Specifically, we argue that the current treatment methods for cancer are flawed because they revolve around the idea that cancer is a disease of genetic mutations in the nucleus. We both believe that cancer should be categorized as a metabolic disease because the root cause of cancer isn't started in the nucleus, it's started in the mitochondria.
When mitochondria are damaged and can no longer function properly, they normally initiate cell suicide, termed apoptosis. However, when a mitochondria is damaged in a way that it can no longer perform apoptosis, it undergoes dedifferentiation and reverts back to using a primitive and ancient form of metabolism, fermentation.
Fermentation is respiration without the use of oxygen. This form of metabolism is very inefficient at producing ATP and gives the cancer cell only two fuel sources, the sugar glucose and the amino acid glutamine. Therefore, we argue that any good cancer therapy should revolve around the elimination of glucose and glutamine. Without these two fuel sources, all cancer cells die.
This is true because cancer cells cannot use ketone bodies or fatty acids for fuel. Both of these fuel sources require healthy and properly working mitochondria in order to metabolize, and the one characteristic shared by all cancer no matter what type it is and where its located, is broken mitochondria. All other horrible effects and ailments of cancer are downstream effects stemming from the mitochondria no longer working properly.

In this week's podcast, we discuss an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience. This episode had Chris Kresser and Joel Kahn debating the benefits of eating meat. Chris Kresser was arguing for the inclusion of meat in our diet and Joel Kahn was arguing against meat being in our diet.
If you've followed any of our previous podcasts, then you know that we are both on 'Team meat eater!" So this podcast turned into a discussion of the shortcomings of the vegan diet and why any healthy diet should contain animal products.

In this week's podcast, we discuss the crazy history of the food guidelines. We were inspired by an article written by Belinda Fettke. She is the wife of an Australian Doctor named Gary Fettke (@FructoseNo) who was disciplined and subsequently silenced by the Tasmanian Medical Board for giving his patients the advice to consume a diet that was low in carbohydrates and high in fats. The fact that this happened, let alone was allowed, gave us the motivation to record this week's podcast. We wanted to get the message out that the foundation on which the entire branch of nutrition science lies, is weak and corrupt.

In this week's podcast we talk about our opinion on the video "Grazed and Confused," which talked about carbon sequestration and the role ruminants have in restoring soil health and mitigating global warming. We both agree, that the first few minutes of the video are informative, but it takes a hard turn half way through, that simply ruins it for us!
We also talk about my current meal plan and why I stopped following a strictly carnivorous diet.
