Acne, eczema, psoriasis, vitiligo, all have their roots in inflammation and inappropriate immune system activation, but they are rarely discussed in the context of food… And yet the foods you eat are very likely to be triggering your skin issues!  In this Controversial Thoughts video, I begin to look at just a bit of the research regarding this and discuss a few very interesting studies in dogs looking at standard diet (much the like the standard American diet) vs a species-appropriate diet… Guess what? When dogs are fed a diet that’s what they are actually supposed to be eating, their skin conditions, inflammation markers, and genetic markers get much better! Imagine that…🤯 You mean feeding animals (or humans) garbage food could cause chronic illness, and returning them to a truly appropriate diet could correct this? 😜 Yup! I believe strongly that the same is true for humans, and have seen this countless times in patients, and from those in the #AnimalBased community.  What if you don’t need those super expensive rinses and skincare products… What if you just need to return to eating a “species-appropriate diet”, aka an #Animalbased diet and your skin issues will improve?  I’m betting they will!  #Radicalhealth is your birthright! This is what #TheRemembering is all about.

20 years ago, Dr. Gundry decided to prevent health issues. He retired as a cardiologist to teach patients how to eat, guiding them on how to get ahead of the problem, not fixing it after the fact. He shifted towards a more proactive approach to health through food and diet changes. Dr. Gundry has successfully treated tens of thousands of patients suffering from autoimmune disorders, diabetes, leaky gut syndrome, heart disease, and neurodegenerative diseases with a protocol that detoxes the cells, repairs the gut, and nourishes the body. He is also host of The Dr. Gundry Podcast.    Time Stamps: 0:10:19 - Podcast Begins 0:11:26 - Plants don't want to be eaten 0:16:59 - How does Dr. Steven Gundry's research on the Hadza compare to my experience? 0:21:39 - Do the Hadza eat 150+ grams of fiber per day? 0:25:04 - The Hadza consume a significant amount of calories from fructose 0:27:49 - Was meat consumption the reason humans grew such big brains? 0:33:24 - The different ways we generate excess hydrogen sulfide https://cpncampus.com/biblioteca/files/original/68df10b582353aff269c5c5ad221f8d8.pdf 0:37:15 - Effect of feeding a high fat diet on hydrogen sulfide metabolism in the mouse https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1089860314000226?via%3Dihub 0:39:19 - Different ways humans can generate butyric acid 0:40:49 - Not eating fiber is an option for those who can't tolerate it 0:45:26 - Will you become constipated on a keto or carnivore diet? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3435786/ 0:49:59 - What happens in our bodies when we eat fructose? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3533803/ 0:55:09 - Is fructose a scare for metabolicly healthy individuals? https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318344371_Efficacy_of_nutritional_interventions_to_lower_circulating_ceramides_in_young_adults_FRUVEDomic_pilot_study 1:01:44 - How do we really become insulin resistant? https://www.cell.com/trends/endocrinology-metabolism/fulltext/S1043-2760(17)30130-3?_returnURL=https%3A%2F%2Flinkinghub.elsevier.com%2Fretrieve%2Fpii%2FS1043276017301303%3Fshowall%3Dtrue 1:04:04 - Closing thoughts with Dr. Steven Gundry 1:06:14 - Pistachios have melatonin.. but they also have lectins https://www.academia.edu/20821261/Proteomic_and_immunological_characterization_of_a_new_food_allergen_from_hazelnut_Corylus_avellana_ 1:07:39 - Interesting article on Ramadan fasting https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6924600/ 1:08:19 - Intermittent fasting is probably beneficial for humans https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-020-14676-4 1:09:19 - Article: The Role of Ceramides in Insulin Resistance https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fendo.2019.00577/full 1:10:19 - Closing thoughts on today's podcast Sponsors: Heart & Soil: www.heartandsoil.co Cinder: cindergrill.com/pages/carnivoremd for $50 off your order Let’s Get Checked: trylgc.com/paul for 20% off your order Thanks to Let's Get Checked for sponsoring this episode.  White Oak Pastures: Whiteoakpastures.com, use CarnivoreMD for 10% off your first order Belcampo: Belcampo.com, use CarnivoreMD for 10% of your first order

I said COVID twice in the title, and vaccine once. I’m pretty sure this video will get censored!    Vaccine thoughts: Apparent benefits but many have side effects with the second dose.    I hope it’s safe for the sake of my parents...   I won’t get it because I’ve already had COVID, it was mild, and I am metabolically healthy…   Here’s hoping there’s not a vaccine mandate. I think that’s a bad idea…   Long COVID: Looks like dysautonomia, could there be an underlying immune component? I think so…    Autoimmune illnesses often respond to dietary changes like removing the most triggering foods… #theremembering

You live in a zoo… Don’t believe me? Look around you… Synthetic food, separation from nature-> chronic disease rates skyrocketing, rates of obesity, depression and general unhappiness rising rapidly… The same things happen to wild animals when they are placed into zoos!  In this week’s podcast (Fundamental Health, available on Apple Podcasts, YouTube) @dranthonygustin and I dive back into our Africa adventures with some of the last hunter-gatherers left on the planet, the Hadza. This is part 2 of this series, check out part 1 from two weeks ago… In this episode we also answer your questions about the Hadza and fill in all the gaps from our first episode about our adventures with them. #theremembering Time stamps: 0:10:49 Podcast Begins 0:12:39 Urban living in healthy Tanzanians is associated with an inflammatory status driven by dietary and metabolic changes https://www.nature.com/articles/s41590-021-00867-8#:~:text=In%20a%20cohort%20of%20323,metabolites%20accounting%20for%20these%20differences. 0:13:56 Misinformation in modern papers on the Hadza | Cancel culture in the scientific community 0:26:49 Eat what is easily edible in nature 0:29:46 And now a word from Big Honey 0:31:07 Natural Honey Lowers Plasma Glucose, C-Reactive Protein, Homocysteine, and Blood Lipids in Healthy, Diabetic, and Hyperlipidemic Subjects: Comparison with Dextrose and Sucrose https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/109662004322984789 0:40:25 To be wild is to be healthy | How to rewild 0:47:32 What do the Hadza do to be happy? 0:49:43 Happiness is humanity's default 0:53:53 How did the Hadza sleep? 0:58:03 Surfing in Costa Rica 1:01:24 The remarkable patience of the Hadza 1:00:53 Do the Hadza operate in hierarchy? 1:13:13 An interesting theory on eating local, seasonal food 1:18:05 Prey Size Decline as a Unifying Ecological Selecting Agent in Pleistocene Human Evolution https://www.mdpi.com/2571-550X/4/1/7/htm 1:19:19 The evolution of the human trophic level during the Pleistocene https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ajpa.24247 1:19:44 Too smart for our own good | Refining away our last source of real food 1:23:54 The hygiene of the Hadza 1:26:35 How to find your true love 1:30:47 Marriage and sexuality 1:37:49 Gender roles of the Hadza 1:39:47 Some thoughts on human customs

Oooo guys! This is a good one, and it’s going to ruffle some keto-feathers…   There is a tendency within nutritional circles to fall prey to reductionist thinking…   We know sugar is bad, right? Therefore any foods (not matter how evolutionarily consistent) that contain sucrose, or the evil-fructose are bad for you, too, right?   Not so fast seabass!    These apparent evolutionary inconsistencies have always puzzled me and caused me to wonder about how foods like honey or fruit might be different than pure sucrose, or if your body’s response to fructose might be dependent on the food it’s in…   Imagine that! Food might actually be more complex than just calories, and macronutrients…   It might actually have different effects on your body when it’s a “whole” food like honey, or even sea salt vs refined sodium chloride…   Check out this week’s edition of Controversial Thoughts to journey with me down all of these rabbit holes…   I bet you will be surprised at what we find!

Short answer: yes!   Just because your blood calcium levels are within normal doesn’t mean you don’t need calcium in your diet.   How can you get this? If you tolerate dairy that’s a good option, but for most, I believe calcium from bones as MCHA (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) is the best option.    That’s why we made our Bone Matrix supplement at Heart & Soil.     In this video, I discuss evidence for benefits of MCHA, if you should worry about calcium and heart attacks, and a bunch more.    Do you have a calcium source in your diet? If not, you need to check out this video and get your learn on!   For those wondering, the Hadza do eat the ends of bones from birds and small animals like Galagos, as well as breaking bones open to suck out the marrow.  #theremembering   -- Heart & Soil: http://heartandsoil.co

I’m back from Africa - what a trip it was!  I got to spend multiple days hunting, eating, living, dancing, and adventuring with the Hadza of Tanzania… In this week’s podcast episode (Fundamental Health, available at heartandsoil.co, Apple podcasts, and YouTube), @dranthonygustin and I sat down to answer many of your questions about our trip and share some of our biggest takeaways…  We discuss how the Hadza eat, what they don’t eat, how healthy they are, how happy they are, salt?, hunting, eating baboon, and a ton more… I talked about my takeaways from this trip in this week's newsletter - If you didn't get it, you’re missing out!

It’s good to be back in the US. My trip to Tanzania to hunt with the Hadza was amazing, and the meals I shared with them were incredible… The meat we had hunted in the bush earlier that day, along with honey and baobab we had found along the way- truly radical… Ironically, It was much harder to always get good food in “civilization” and this was the hardest part of the trip… In this edition of Controversial Thoughts, I share a bit about these struggles and the “creep” of processed foods into our food supply, making it difficult to obtain really good food unless we are very intentional about what we are eating! #theremembering If you’re not subscribed to my newsletter, you are missing out!
