Right before this episode, Justin Mares and I sequestered ourselves in my biohacking lab for an extreme session of brain hacking. It was the perfect way to set the scene for this conversation on the state of the food industry, bone broth, and all of the ancient technologies that are new again in the health & wellness world.

Justin is the Founder of Kettle & Fire, creators of the first 100% grass-fed, non-frozen, shelf-stable beef bone broth on the market.

Justin and his brother started Kettle & Fire after hearing about bone broth and its amazing health benefits back in 2013... but it wasn't exactly easy to find. That kicked off a year-long journey to find the best manufacturer, bones, and ingredients.

Thanks to all of Justin's hard work, you don't have to do anything to reap the benefits of bone broth made from the best ingredients available.

Taking the hassle out of the equation was extremely important to Justin, and it all comes down to a very simple formula:

Health + Convenience = Lifestyle Change

For most people, changing to a healthier lifestyle can feel overwhelming - don't do this, do a lot of that, avoid blue light, nom on some mushrooms, boil down some bones, and all of the other things we talk about in the health & wellness world.

In reality, the vast majority of people change their health gradually, step by step, and people like Justin are just trying to make those first few steps as easy as possible.

So check out this episode to learn a lot more about Justin and the benefits of ancient trends like bone broth - it might just bring you one step closer to a healthier life.

Kettle & Fire. This is the first 100% grass-fed, non-frozen, shelf stable bone broth on the market.

ORGANIFI. I talk about the Organifi green juice a lot because it's delicious and I eat it every day, but did you know that they also make a red juice? This red juice powder is packed with antioxidants, immune-boosting herbs, and adaptogens like reishi and cordyceps mushrooms (which are really hard to make taste good - I have no idea how they did this). It's super quick and easy nutrition on-the-go. Save 20% using code "LIFESTYLIST" at organifi.com/luke.

BIOHM. After basically destroying my health (especially my gut health) for the first half of my life, I've been spending the past decade looking for ways to fix it. I was stoked to find BIOHM because they give you the ability to test your gut health from home. While most at-home gut health tests just focus on the bacteria, BIOHM provides you with a full profile of not only bacteria but fungal species. Plus, they have an insanely cool probiotic that's been helping me get my gut right again. Save 15% using code "lifestylist" at biohmhealth.com/lifestylist.
