Are you sick of dietary propaganda? Me too. This week's guest has been wiping the floor with ridiculous, government-mandated, top-down nutrition recommendations for decades now. And she actually demonstrates that decreased health actually correlates with increased recommendations from the government. Thanks Uncle Sam. So, returning to the show this week is, of course, international bestselling author Nora Gedgaudas. Nora is certified in clinical nutrition and neurofeedback and is the bestselling author of "Primal Body, Primal Mind" and "Primal Fat Burner" as well as "Rethinking Fatigue⁠"—a cutting edge approach to adrenal health. Nora is the real deal, and I do believe that more people need to be listening to her and her message right now. There is so much wisdom in what she has to say. In this episode we’re talking about: What to do about dietary propaganda How to eat and supplement for a robust immune system What Pottenger's Cats tell us about diet and nutrition Alzheimer's disease and how it's affecting her family life How to maintain brain health and age gracefully And tons more...

Are you sick of being stuck inside? You're in good company. When our survival and basic needs are threatened, our trust in authority figures broken and our human rights ignored, it's pretty easy to lose your head. So how can we protect our brain and nervous system in these trying times? Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show this week to help us out is Eliza Kingsford, a Licensed Psychotherapist and certified Mind-Body Practitioner. She's the author of Brain-Powered Weight Loss, and she's joining me on the show to share: Easy tips for navigating mental health while we're in such close quarters The importance of protecting your nervous system right now How to manage kids and a career, at the same time The science behind why you might be struggling with food cravings more than usual (and what to do about it) And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/eliza-kingsford-how-to-dodge-cravings-and-protect-your-mental-health Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

Even before the world shut down, 80% of kids don’t get enough exercise. What do you think these numbers look like for grown-ups? Terrifying. Somehow we find ourselves in a world where we need to fight for our right to recess. Even if we're adults. No matter what country we're in. I can't think of a better person to remind us how important it is to go outside and play than our friend Darryl Edwards. Darryl is a former investment banking technologist turned movement coach, author, researcher, and creator of the Primal Play method. He's also a talented musician, as well. Being a creator, some sort of artist, whether that be visual art, theater, performance of any kind, but certainly music and play. These are all very related to each other, and building one of these modalities can help build the others, I believe. On today's show with Darryl, we're talking about: How the phrase "I play" can transform you. Making functional fitness fun again How to take the superhero path What NOT to do in an emergency situation How not to get completely steamrolled by life—that’s important right now. And tons more...

So how are you doing out there? Pretty rough, right? You feeling a little stressed? I know I am. But it's important to know, especially during times like these, that at our best we can use this stress and put it to good use instead of letting it completely destroy us. And a long-range of studies, unfortunately, have shown that chronic stress caused by things like social isolation, long-term unemployment, untreated depression and more can actually shorten your DNA telomeres, which in turn can speed up the aging process and then just wreak havoc on your health in a myriad of ways. So how can we be proactive and slow or reverse the signs of aging? Well, to help us out, I figure we might as well invite one of our friends and a modern-day superhero on the show, Mr. Brad Kearns. Brad is a New York Times bestselling author, host of the Get Over Yourself podcast, and a top-ranked professional triathlete, who, get this, broke a Guinness World Record in speed golf. And on today’s show we’re discussing: How to support male hormone function as we age The benefits of micro workouts, I'm a big fan What the latest longevity research is telling us Why we should be eating nose to tail, especially you carnivores and keto folks out there And tons more...

Did you know that over 600,000 people die of heart disease in the U.S. every year? That’s an astounding 1 out of every 4 deaths. Well today we’re here with one of my old friends from Austin, Texas, Mr. Carl Swanson, a man who somehow stubbornly survived 5 heart attacks and turned his health around for the better. Carl is a former army Scout for a tank battalion with the 9th Infantry Division, he’s worked for Dell and CNN, and is a self-starter who’s done everything from being a tour guide, owning a food cart, and even starting a cheesecake business.

Tried an elimination diet yet? You’ve likely heard a lot of buzz around the carnivore diet, it's come up a few times on this show. The way I think about elimination diets, is that you're fasting from certain food categories. When you give yourself a break, all of a sudden your immune system can calm down and do the exact work that it needs to do to keep you safe—instead of causing all sorts of problems for you or attacking your own body, in the case of auto-immune conditions. You don't want your health to be getting low at this point, with everything that we're up against. So, let's add to your bag of tricks today—Dr. Paul Saladino is joining us on the show. Dr. Saladino is a certified Functional Medicine Practitioner, he hosts the Fundamental Health podcast, and just released his brand new book, The Carnivore Code. On today’s show, we’re covering... The benefits of elimination diets Nutrient density of eating nose-to-tail How to source good quality meats, eggs and bones Voting with your fork and wallet Cost and practicality of the Carnivore Diet And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-paul-saladino-the-carnivore-diet-functional-medicine-eating-raw-brains Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

As a collective, are we getting smarter or dumber? Let’s be honest. Intelligence—the capacity for learning, logic, understanding, critical thinking, planning, self-awareness, problem solving, emotional knowledge, reasoning, creativity—is a whole brain-body phonomenon. And in order to harness your natural intelligence, it’s important to support your brain and body with the right foods, and turn down other inputs, like pollution and toxins that can drag us down. Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show today is our friend Mr. Max Lugavere. Max is a filmmaker, health and science journalist, host of The Genius Life podcast, and New York Times bestselling author of Genius Foods. And on today’s show, we’re chatting about: How to eat for your brain health Why it’s important to eat the rainbow (and not the sugary Skittles kind) The metabolic "free ride" of protein How to get smarter in a confusing and divisive time And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/max-lugavere-brain-health-eating-the-rainbow-how-to-get-smarter-over-time-instead-of-dumber Like the show on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/fatburningman Follow me on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/fatburnman Click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus
