When was the last time you thought about the quality of the source of your water? For a lot of the health nuts out there it's easy to obsess about nutrition, but how many people are really paying attention to what's in the water they drink? Returning to the show today is one of my favorite guests, a wild man himself, Mr. Arthur Haines. Arthur has an extremely unique and informed perspective on all of this. He's a forager, ancestral skills mentor, author, public speaker, and botanical researcher. He's also one of my mom's heroes (she’s an herbalist and holistic Nurse Practitioner). Arthur's the real deal. He actually had to cancel the first interview we had scheduled for this show, because he had to go bear hunting. That was the best excuse ever for cancelling a podcast interview, and fortunately we were able to have Arthur back on the show. On this show with Arthur, you're about to learn: The critical differences between creators and consumers How food can be medicine, especially if you're growing or foraging it for yourself The risks and dangers of drinking tap water And tons more.

What’s the biologically appropriate diet for human? Can you chow down on steak every meal, and expect to get results? I have a very special episode of the Fat-Burning Man show for you today. I like interacting with you folks, and I think it's quite amazing that with today’s livestreaming technology, people from all around the world can join in and ask questions and interact with me in real time. In this particular Q&A session, we had a few familiar faces show up in the livestream comments, which I’m very happy to see, including Kurt Morgan, my contestant and teammate on the ABC TV show a few years back, who dropped a whopping 87 pounds in 14 weeks with the Wild Diet. Within an hour of posting this video, we already had a few thousand views, so hopefully you'll dig this livestream. I recommend a lot of the books that I've been reading recently that have made a big difference in the way that I think, and I even go on a few rants. In this Q&A, I chat with you folks about: Incorporating kettlebells into your workouts What carbs I recommend Protein bars and protein powders, and if they’re worth it Why the carnivore diet is so popular on the internet right now And tons more Alright, are you ready for this? Let's go see what questions you guys have.

Why is it so difficult to find high-quality, pasture-raised meats these days? It seems like we're years into the natural-organic-pasture-raised health craze, yet it's still a pain to find grass-fed barbecue and meats from healthy animals in general. With the majority of our cow friends being fattened up on a completely unnatural diet of corn, GMOs, and other nonsense, it's clear, now more than ever, that there's a disconnect between industry standards, and I'm using that term loosely, and what's best for the health of ourselves and our families, not to mention our longevity. To help us figure it all out, we're here with Mike Salguero, who's the CEO and founder of ButcherBox, the first delivery service dedicated to providing 100% grass-fed beef, organic chicken and heritage pork direct to people like you and me. Mike is also a CrossFit enthusiast, an avid lover of the outdoors, so he's in good company here.

When you’re on social media, do you ever feel like your in the spotlight? Now that we all carry cameras in our pockets, it can feel like we're in the spotlight pretty much all the time, especially considering the new pressures of social media. And with that comes public scrutiny, and the dreaded trolls. Returning to the show this week to help us figure it all out is my buddy and ABC co-star, a true rock star of health and fitness, Mr. Shaun T. Shaun, in case you don't know, is one of the greatest motivators. Whenever I'm feeling down, he definitely gets me in the right mental state to feel like I can do anything again. On this episode, we talk about how Shaun has dealt with trolls over the years and his advice for anyone who is subjected to negativity on the Internet, social media, or even in real life. He's got one critical piece of advice that I think will really help you out. In this episode with Shaun T, you’re about to hear: How to keep your sanity with 10-month old twins How to be yourself even when you're staring on a reality TV show (easier said than done) What it's like to gain 50 pounds in your 20s, drop it in your 30s, and keep it off How to deal with trolls on social media And much, much more...

Have you ever thought about selling everything and traveling the world? Returning to the show this week is Mr. Gary Collins, a man who did just that. Gary has a unique and fascinating background in military intelligence, and as a Special Agent for the U.S. State Department Diplomatic Security Service, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration. These days, Gary teaches people like you and me to break free of conventional wisdom to practice true health, freedom and self reliance. If you feel overwhelmed by bills, debt, or even social media, this episode is definitely for you.

Can good productivity habits contribute to other good habits, like eating well and getting outdoors? Today, we have a special bonus episode for you. In this surprise livestream Q&A, you folks asked me whatever you wanted related to health, music, and even virtual reality. I'm your Huckleberry. And in today’s show, I’ll be sharing one of my favorite tools that has helped me since I was an overachieving pre-teen, and continues to pay big dividends in productivity and in art to this day. Since we finally have internet again up here in the mountains, hopefully I'll be streaming quite a few more of these live Q&A sessions in the months ahead.

Did you know your gut is responsible for producing about 90% of your serotonin, one of the leading neurotransmitters that can help generate (or negate) happy thoughts? In fact, some researchers now call our gut our "second brain." There’s a lot going on in that gut of yours. Today we’re here with Dr. Michael Ruscio, a clinical researcher and bestselling author whose work in the world of gut health has been published in peer reviewed medical journals. Even though we’d met before, I was re-introduced to Michael by our mutual friend, Robb Wolf, who says, "Mike is one of, if not the most knowledgeable practitioner in the world on the topic of gut health, both what the research says (and does not say) as well as the clinical applications.”

What do Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman and Scarlett Johansson all have in common? Today, we’re here with Don Saladino, one of the most in-demand and respected trainers in Hollywood.

Scarlett Johansson, Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman, and David Harbour are just a few names of clients he’s trained recently. Today Don’s going to spill the beans on topics that will definitely raise some eyebrows. Including the fact that he gets shredded eating over 500 grams of carbs a day.
