Ryan Duey is the founder of The Cold Plunge, a fast-growing brand centered around the benefits of contrast therapy. As you'll hear in the show, Ryan began his entrepreneurial journey as the founder of a brick-and-mortar float tank business in Sacramento, CA. Ryan became obsessed with health and wellness after a near-death experience on a motorcycle in Thailand led him to discover the power of the float tank. After starting his float tank business in Sacramento, Ryan began looking into the concept of cold therapy, which eventually propelled him into the cold plunge business. Ryan has helped bring to light the benefits of contrast therapy through The Cold Plunge product. Our conversation with him covered his entrepreneurial journey and the path toward building The Cold Plunge business.

Natalie and Tara both come from multi-generational farming families. Collectively, they co-host the Discovering Ag podcast, where they spend time dispelling myths about agriculture and addressing relevant topics for people trying to better understand where their food is coming from. Natalie and Tara are a wealth of knowledge and shared so much wisdom with us on this show, such as: - Educating people on food: where does your food actually come from?- Big Agriculture versus Regenerative Agriculture: what do people need to know about agriculture?- The Vegan Movement: How fear-based marketing is praying on the emotions of people disconnected from the food system?- Scientists versus Farmers: How people perceive the average rancher?Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein SPONSORSSponsorsThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarHoly Cow Beef - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from TexasOptimal Carnivore - 10% OFF - Replace your daily vitamin with on the road, easy nutritionPerennial Pastures - 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaAffiliatesLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA10’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Crisps - 10% OFF - Carnivore / Animal-based snacks for eating healthy on the go!Pluck Seasoning - 10% OFF - Nutrient-dense seasoning with INSANE flavor!Fond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Breathwork and meditation have become repopularized in many health circles in the past decade and for good reason. We have both been huge proponents of the power of the breath and were excited to have Jake Whan on to take a deep dive into the world of breath work and mindfulness. In our conversation with Jake, we discussed his path towards breathwork and meditation. As a high-level collegiate athlete, physical fitness and nutrition always played a key role in Jake's life, however, it wasn't until Jake found breathwork that he realized health was much more than diet and weightlifting. We also spent time exploring the important topic of nutrition and what so many people seem to get wrong when it comes to diet. If you are interested in learning more about the healing powers of breathwork, this will be a great place for you to start!Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble Protein SPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarHoly Cow Beef - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from TexasOptimal Carnivore - 10% OFF - Replace your daily vitamin with on the road, easy nutritionPerennial Pastures - 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaAFFILIATESLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA10’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Crisps - 10% OFF - Carnivore / Animal-based snacks for eating healthy on the go!Pluck Seasoning - 10% OFF - Nutrient-dense seasoning with INSANE flavor!Fond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Wyatt Rodgers faced crippling autoimmune issues at a young age. In our conversation with Wyatt, we talk about the debilitating nature of  autoimmune conditions and the rising prevalence of these types of conditions. Our conversation centered around his healing process and the body's innate desire to heal when given the proper healing environment. Wyatt discovered the carnivore diet and an improved life-style played the largest factors in his ability to naturally heal himself and avoid a lifetime of pharmaceutical drugs and hospital visits. We loved this conversation with Wyatt since it touched on the emotional and powerful nature of the healing process. Wyatt is now heavily involved in music, which also played a critical role in his ability to put his autoimmune conditions behind him.

Alex Feinberg has made a name online as a coach advising men and women on ways to become healthier and financially free. But, he hasn't always been a coach. He started his career working at Google, where he quickly pivoted into a role with a Hedge Fund. Prior to his working experience, Alex played high-level Division 1 baseball at Vanderbilt, and he credits much of what he learned about life, competition, and finding success, to what he learned playing baseball. His first two jobs gave him a perspective on the world that has made him a very popular name for himself on Twitter. Alex is one of our favorite people to talk to and brings an intense, clear, and fresh perspective to what it takes to become successful.

We first met Kaely McDevitt in Fredericksburg, Texas, out at Roam Ranch, and within the first few minutes of talking it was clear that she presented a wealth of knowledge on women's health that we really wanted to tap into for our audience. We are currently experiencing some pretty startling numbers when it comes to both men's and women's fertility, and so much of it has to do with diet and lifestyle. In the last 70 years, women's fertility has decreased by 50%, and it's estimated that in vetro fertilization is supposed to double from 2018 to 2026 to a $36bn industry. The fertility crisis is truly a food and lifestyle crisis, and we dove deep into these topics with Kaely to learn more about what women can do in order to take back their fertility and hormone health.

Austin Dillon owns and operates his farm Counter Culture Farms in Nacogdoches, Texas. We first came across Austin at the What Good Shall I Do conference at Roam Ranch, and his message stunned, not only us but everyone in the room. He had our attention. What we heard from Austin that day was a young man with conviction, purpose, and a mission. He spoke about the process of regenerating his land for the last 15 years, and the real difference between plant-based agriculture and animal-based agriculture. Austin then dove deep into the connection between death and life. He explained the process of handling & experiencing death, saying: "Death is so negative in our minds, but it's just another cultivator for life in nature". When he said this, the entire room stood still. What a perfect articulation of the beautiful balance between life and death. There is not one without the other. Once we heard, Austin speak at the What Good Shall I Do Conference in April, it was clear that we needed to get him on the show. It took us longer than we wanted to, but we went out to visit Austin at his property this past December. We recorded a show with him and toured his property and, man, he is even more impressive than we remembered! Please enjoy this conversation with him and let us know what you think!

Dr. Brittney McGetrick earned her bachelors degree in Food & Nutrition from San Diego State University, where she developed a strong interest in the power of food in healing health problems. As she entered the hospital system, Brittney realized her role as a registered dietician interested in healing people was not best suited for the hospital system. Brittney then pursued learning more about Gonstead Chiropractic work after healing many health problems of her own through the practice. Now, Dr. Brittney utilizes her unique background as a dietician and a Gonstead Chiropractor to bring a more holistic approach to curing health problems she sees from her patience. In our conversation with Dr. Brittney, we discussed:- Fertility: Why are women unable to get pregnant?- Nutrition: Why women crave certain foods during their period?- Tracking fertility: Why women should think twice about birth control?- Fasting: Why women should be careful when considering a fasting protocol?Connect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarHoly Cow Beef - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from TexasOptimal Carnivore - 10% OFF - Replace your daily vitamin with on the road, easy nutritionPerennial Pastures - 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaAFFILIATESLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA10’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Crisps - 10% OFF - Carnivore / Animal-based snacks for eating healthy on the go!Pluck Seasoning - 10% OFF - Nutrient-dense seasoning with INSANE flavor!Fond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!

Will Harris owns White Oak Pastures and is a transformative thinker in the world of agriculture. In the 1990s, Will took his father's farming practices and began evolving them toward a input, closed-loop system (often referred to as Regenerative Agriculture today). At the time, Will didn't think much about the changes he was making on the farm. That is not to say no thought was put into the changes he was making, but Will felt that the changes he was making were intuitive as opposed to innovative. His suspicions and struggles on the farm led him to experiment with raising his animals as nature intended: in line with nature. The changes he has seen on his farm since then have been nothing short of amazing. Will has returned nutrients back to the soil and enriched the life on his land by eliminating harmful chemicals, and relying on multi-speciation and systems that support natural dependencies. In 2019, White Oak Pastures partnered with General Mills to create a Life Cycle Analysis of the amount of carbon his farm put back into the soil compared to conventional practices. This is a profound piece of research that contradicts what many people believe about agriculture and its potential impact on climate. In our conversation with Will, we discussed: - How did White Oak Pastures come to be?- Building a legacy on the land- Welfare farming & its effect on our health- A Bold Return to Giving a Damn: Changing Our Culture- Carbon sequestration, the water cycle, and returning life back to the landConnect with Meat Mafia:Instagram - Meat MafiaTwitter - Meat MafiaYouTube - Meat MafiaConnect with Noble Protein:Website - Noble ProteinTwitter - Noble ProteinInstagram - Noble ProteinSPONSORSThe Carnivore Bar - 10% OFF - Delicious & convenient Pemmican BarHoly Cow Beef - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from TexasOptimal Carnivore - 10% OFF - Replace your daily vitamin with on the road, easy nutritionPerennial Pastures - 10% OFF - Regeneratively raised, grass-fed & grass-finished beef from California & MontanaAFFILIATESLMNT - Electrolyte salts to supplement minerals on low-carb dietHeart & Soil - CODE ‘MEATMAFIA10’ for 10% OFF - enhanced nutrition to replace daily vitamins!Carnivore Crisps - 10% OFF - Carnivore / Animal-based snacks for eating healthy on the go!Pluck Seasoning - 10% OFF - Nutrient-dense seasoning with INSANE flavor!Fond Bone Broth - 15% OFF - REAL bone broth with HIGH-QUALITY ingredients!
