Sapien's Playground - Medicine, Psychology, Truth Seeking and Fascinating Experiences

Dear listener, Welcome back to a new episode! I am delighted to have with me today Gabor Erdosi from Hungary, a food scientist with a master's in molecular biology and a particular interest in the development of chronic disease from a molecular and immunological perspective. His views on insulin resistance were particularly interesting not least because his unique explanations seemed coherent and evolutionarily consistent but also because Gabor was the first of the guests so far who was able to elaborate on the evolutionary origin and "function" of visceral adipose tissue.  Enjoy listening to the episode and make sure to share it around in case you have found it helpful!

Привет всем и добро пожаловать на новый эпизод на подкасте Sapien's Playground. Сегодня у меня была замечательная возможность побеседовать с моим хорошем другом Денисом Виталиевым. Денис имеет 20-летний опыт работы в качестве тренера по тренировкам с собственным весом тела. Изначально он был гимнастом, но последнее десятилетие активно стал продвигать искусство акробатики и гимнастики работая тренером, устраивая расличные мироприятия в Берлине.  В этой эпизоде вы узнаете больше про жизнь Дениса, про его спортивную карьеру, как занятия спортом сделали из него более мудрого человека и как каждый из вас в силах использовать силовые упражнения в качестве невероятно мощного инструмента в процессе духовного развития. Спасибо вам за поддержку и желаю всем приятного прослушывания!

Hello everyone!  Today, I had the great pleasure to sit down in Berlin with a friend of mine, Katja Bui, originally from Ukraine, lived in Germany for the majority of the time and graduated from the same high school as I did. Katja has been interested in politics since mid-school an stood out in class due to her rather unpopular and conservative views on a wide array of sociopolitical questions. We had a great, very friendly and respectful discussion about fairly heated and controversial subjects, like the origins and development of the feminist movement, abortion, as well as liberalism and conservatism, their core propositions and ramifications on a broader political and societal level. You will hear us agree on some things and disagree on others, however, that is undoubtedly part of the discourse which ought to be encouraged in order for society to move forward. Our aim was definitely not to please everyone, our lack of endeavor to be politically correct is therefore an inevitable consequence of trying to to establish common ground and come closer to what is correct and true on as many levels of analysis as possible.  I genuinely hope, that you will appreciate this conversation and perhaps you also will be able to extract some value in the notions we discuss, the arguments we exchange and the opened questions we leave unanswered. Enjoy listening to this episode!  Follow Katja on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_haya_katja_/ Check out her YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcJ2ZZnkyM3K3toYfyxywig Katja has her own blog: https://kateslifeandstuff.wixsite.com/mysite Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

Herzlich wilkommen zu einer ganz besonderen Episode, wo ich die große Freude und Ehre hatte, mir mit Dr. Ralph G. Schoelhammer einige wahnsinnig spannende, wichtige, aber auch kontroverse Themen vorzuknüpfen und sehr relevante Fragen zu klären, insbesondere auf Ebene der Energiepolitik, Sozioökonomie und Philosophie.  Nach seinem Doktorat in Politischer Theorie an der University of Kentucky ist Ralph seit 2015 an der Webster University Vienna tätig. Seine Forschung konzentriert sich hauptsächlich auf kulturelle Faktoren der Identitätsbildung und darauf, wie Identitäten den sozialen Zusammenhalt beeinflussen. Dr. Ralph Schoelhammer beteilige sich häufig an öffentlichen Debatten und hat Beiträge in allen großen österreichischen Zeitungen, aber auch in internationalen Publikationen wie der Jerusalem Post, dem Washington Examiner oder dem American Spectator veröffentlicht. Neben seiner akademischen Arbeit ist es Ralph eine besondere Freude und Ehre, sein Fachwissen über die aktuelle US-Politik und das Weltgeschehen für nationale und internationale Fernsehsender wie Sky News Australia und The Hill TV zur Verfügung zu stellen. Heute ging es insbesondere um die derzeitige Energiepolitik, die in ganz Europa, aber auch in den U.S. immer weiter durchgesetzt wird und die katastrophalen Folgen jener Politik, die sich auf sozialer Ebene durch Bauernaufstände und Trucker-Convoys in zahlreichen Ländern bemerkbar machen. Zudem unterstreichen wir die Bedeutung von offenem Diskurs und absoluter Redefreiheit als Voraussetzung dafür, um auf sozialer, politischer und ökomischer Ebene auch zukünftlich voranzukommen. Bitte teilt diesen Podcast, um diese wichtige Nachricht zu verbreiten! Ich hoffe, dass ihr dieses Gespräch ebenso aufschlussreich fandet wie ich. Über jegliches Feedback würde ich mich sehr freuen!

Welcome back to a very special episode on Sapien’s Playground! For absolutely incomprehensible reasons I somehow managed to invite Robb Wolf on my podcast and it was not only a big honor but also an enlightening experience and a great pleasure to have him on the show and dive as deep as we could possibly manage in a little bit more than an hour into the ethical, environmental and nutritional concerns with respect to animal products, and meat in particular, which he together with Diana Rodgers so elegantly and comprehensively addressed and dissected in their most recent book and documentary “Sacred Cow”. It’s hard to overstate how much I learned in today’s conversation with special emphasis on the fact that it helped me apprehend even more thoroughly the uncannily incomprehensible complexity of the issue, as well as the appalling realization how much arrogance and lack of appreciation for our limitless ignorance is driving the whole environmentalist movements and many of the policies surrounding animal farming, ecosystems and agriculture in general. I am sure this is going to be a valuable resource for many of you! Share it around if you liked it and please enjoy listening!

Welcome back to Sapien's Playground! This is a conversation I had with vegan cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn which might come as a surprise to many of you as I usually position myself as a big proponent of including liberal amounts of animal foods into one's diet. Nonetheless, as I am a very curious person, as I believe in the power of free speech and conversation and as the name of this podcast contains the terms "Sapien's" and "Playground" I truly believe that testing different hypotheses, endeavouring to approach difficult questions through contemplating various points of view, continuously questioning any given set of assumptions and doing all of that in an exploratory spirit using the revelatory power of truthful speech and untrammeled flow of various ideas and opinions is the right way forward. Having said all that, I really enjoyed the conversation I had with Dr. Kahn as we tried to lay out what we all should unambiguously agree on, particularly as far as diet fundamentals, protein intake, exercise and sleep are concerned. I appreciate the honest and ambitious endeavour of Dr. Kahn to search for the truth as he clearly is someone capable of and constantly is exercising critical thinking with regard to many controversial subjects.  Enjoy the conversation I had with Dr. Kahn!  Learn more about his work on his webpage: https://www.drjoelkahn.com/ Find more about his work on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjkahn/ Listen to his podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/heart-doc-vip-with-dr-joel-kahn/id1268172276 Listen to his podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2S9Hx3VtalwtoWYS69oHF7?si=2f6df0130fb34fa0 Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

In  the section "Bedtime Story" I will read a chapter from a book for you which I personally found interesting and find worth sharing with you! Please excuse if I my misspronounce some words, since English is not my first language and I could potentially make mistakes in the pronounciation. Our first book will be "Nutrition and Physical Degeneration - A  Comparison of Primitive and Modern Diets and Their Effects by Weston A. Price" and in Episode 11 of the series I immerse myself in Chapter 9 of this great piece of work.  Enjoy listening!

Welcome everyone to Sapien's Playground! I am very pleased to have Austin Haedicke, @savagezen, on my podcast today. He currently holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and has also trained within the SPEAR System.  In addition to being a licensed professional counselor in the State of Georgia (#LPC011834), Austin is also a certified nutrition coach with Precision Nutrition (PN1) and an Eagle Scout (2006). He has been practicing and researching a "carnivore" diet since February 2020 (screenshots | data).  In 2012 Austin earned his Master's Degree in Psychology at the University of West Georgia where he was also honored with the Mike Arons Award (named after the department's founder).  As we proceeded in our discussion on Austin's training journey, he told that he used to compete in indoor rock climbing, having amassed hundreds of outdoor pitch ascents,  bouldered V6+ and traditional climbed 5.10c.  Many moons ago Austin also competed in boxing and mixed martial arts. Now, he enjoys coaching  and assisting with law enforcement defensive tactics and civilian  self-defense / preparedness instruction.  He also has a few archived and not well maintained open source projects on GitLab.  Having been an athlete for almost a decade, having gone through multiple injuries, while certainly having also had the chance to celebrate a number of successes over the course of his training career in close combination with his acquired knowledge from his philosophical and psychological studies Austin came to realize a whole bunch of crucial lessons, many of which carry along profound wisdom. In that spirit, we discussed, among many other equally intriguing topics, the necessity for sacrifice and discipline as a precondition for real freedom and genuine growth, what we can learn from children as adults, the mindset of a real warrior, and more. Unfortunately we didn't have sufficient time to chat about Austin's views on diet and other controversial aspects of health, which is another great reason to look forward to having him back a second time!  I learned a lot from having this conversation and I am sure that you will find it equally enlightening.

Willkommen zurück zu Sapien's Playground! Heute hatte ich erneut ein sehr spannendes Gespräch mit @perfomance.doc Dr. Gerrit Keferstein, welcher nun zum zweiten Mal auf meinem Podcast erscheinen durfte. Dr Keferstein ist Arzt in Hennef (Nähe Bonn) und hat mit seinem Team das MOJO-Institut gegründet, ist Spezialist für funktionelle Medizin und verfolgt einen ganzheitlichen Ansatz bei seiner Arbeit mit Sportlern und anderen Patienten mit diversen chronischen Erkrankungen. Wir haben im heutigen Gespräch ein besonderes Augenmerk gelegt auf richtige Kommunikation mit seinen Patienten als Arzt, insbesondere, wenn man das Ziel der langfristigen Umsetzung von Lifestyle-Interventionen verfolgt. Dieses Gebiet sollte ein Kernpunkt der Behandlung darstellen, wobei die psychologischen und kommunikativen Aspekte, so zentral sie auch sind, oftmals im Medizinstudium vernachlässigt werden.  Zum Ende hin diskutieren wir noch die Entsehung von Atherosklerose, sowie Ursachen und Behandlungsansätze bei Autoimmunerkrankungen.   Ich wünsche viel Spaß beim zuhören! Hauptmessage von Gerrit: Mehr Lebendigkeit ins Leben bringen, weniger Frust, Hass und Negativität.
