From Keto to Carnivore: Did Humans Evolve From a Meat-based Diet? || #90
The carnivore diet. Eat meat, drink water. With no vegetables, fruits, or carbs, the carnivore diet is reaching fad/cult status as a nutritional strategy that some swear by...while many wave off as unscientific and unsafe. While it may be easy to glance at the headlines and think "Now, that's just crazy", we remember when intermittent fasting received the same mixed reactions in its infancy. In true HVMN fashion, we will look at the available data, anecdotes, and theories before closing the book on the carnivore diet. Travis Statham, our carnivorous guest today, moderates well-known carnivore communities including World Carnivore Tribe & r/zerocarb. Before going carnivore, Travis ate keto for more than 5 years. In this discussion, you'll discover: Why carnivores believe the fiber from vegetables aren't essential for human health The nutrient density of red meat & misconceptions of saturated fat Theories on human evolution and how these theories inspire the carnivorous philosophy Check out the World Carnivore Tribe group on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/worldcarnivoretribe/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website to learn more: https://go.hvmn.com/podcast-audio Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!

How Biohacking & Detoxing Saved My Life ft. Josh Macin || #86
Anthony Bourdain. Kate Spade. Robin Williams. The news of a celebrity suicide is always shocking & brings mental health to the forefront of discussion. More than a few of us wonder how someone who seemingly "has it all" can reach such a low point where they decide to end their own life. It's a sad reminder that shows how little we know about mental health issues & the prevalence it has within society. Josh Macin, our guest this week, was at the top of his world: He was a recently minted Brazilian Ji Jitsu world champion and had a stable sales career with a healthy family life. He was, on the surface, completely healthy. Over a two week period, he mentally broke down and began to lose his sanity: Depression ensued, panic attacks became a regular occurrence, & suicidal thoughts were not uncommon. When his doctors and traditional pharmaceuticals couldn’t help him, Josh went on a three- year journey to figure out what he could do to cure himself and essentially save his own life. It became a fight for survival. In this discussion, you'll discover: Behind Josh's Ji-Jitsu sporting career: How he approached fights, using marijuana to improve performance, & more Josh's story for survival: How his mental health issues manifested, the various interventions he experimented with (fasting, nutrition, psychedelics, etc), & what ultimately solved his issues and saved his life Behind ayahuasca ceremonies: The traditions, experience of the trip, and what it's like to go through the process of becoming a shaman You can check out Josh, his story, and what he's up to now here: https://thedetoxdudes.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Visit our website to learn more: https://go.hvmn.com/podcast-audio Take a short survey that will help us improve the podcast and be entered in a HVMN Ketone giveaway: https://go.hvmn.com/podcastsurvey We also want to hear from our listeners/viewers!
