Dr. Sarah Ballantyne: Dietary Diversity & How To Make Vegetables Taste Great

Do you buy the carnivore theory that plants are trying to kill us and we should avoid eating all plant matter? What about the vegetarian argument that we should never ever eat meat? If you take anything away from this show, make it this: always take extremism, hysteria and dogmatism with a grain of salt. As the blogosphere and personalized RSS feeds have been replaced by superficial social media channels in an algorithmic race to the bottom, the modern internet, it seems, is rapidly devolving into a cesspool that rewards extremism, gimmickry and one-way thinking. But the truth is much more complicated, subtle and nuanced. So to help us sift through the dogma and fads with a scientific approach, I'm happy to say that returning to the show today is the award-winning public speaker, New York Times best-selling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne. We're talking about: Why many popular diets are actually increasing nutrient deficiencies Secrets to making vegetables taste great so you want to eat more Why eating a variety of vegetables and fruits could make you feel happier The importance of dietary diversity and eating the rainbow How to save money on a nutrient-dense diet Surprising findings about the nutrients in canned and frozen foods And a whole lot more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-sarah-ballantyne-dietary-diversity-how-to-make-vegetables-taste-great/  To learn more about Nutrivore, get recipes, tips, join the Salad-a-Day Challenge, along with tons of practical resources from Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, head over to Nutrivore.com.

Dr. Izabella Wentz: Wired and Tired? Here’s How to Heal Your Adrenals

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack?  When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own.  And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart. If you're looking for life-long health and quality of life, a supportive approach that identifies and treats the root cause and shifts your body into a healing state is essential. So I'm pleased that joining us on the show today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, a New York Times bestselling author and integrative pharmacist, dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions.  On this show with Dr. Izabella Wentz, we're talking about: How to restore balance in the body (especially for folks with Hashimoto's thyroid issues or auto-immune issues) How to adjust your diet to reduce inflammation Tips on optimizing your hormones The best exercises when you're wired and tired Why you should be filtering your water (this one is so important and so easy to overlook as well) How to use adaptogens to balance the stress response And a whole lot more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-izabella-wentz-wired-and-tired-heres-how-to-heal-your-adrenals/  Get more from Dr. Izabella Wentz on her website ThyroidPharmacist.com, and pick up a copy of her brand new #1 Bestselling book "Adrenal Transformation Protocol" from your local bookstore or on Amazon, Apple Books or Barnes & Noble: https://mybook.to/adrenalprotocol  Join The Wild Guild and get freebies on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/abeljames  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

Matthew James Bailey: How Artificial Intelligence Can Benefit the Human Species

Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real. But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future. So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0. This show with Matthew is a doozy. We're chatting about: How artificial intelligence can be used to benefit the human species, both individually and globally Why we should never outsource our sovereignty to a machine Why new fangled brain implants could result in brain shrinkage, loss of cognitive ability, and the deletion of biology How AI can help protect us from deep fakes and untruths (and the importance of authenticating our sources) Why it's important that we define the values, skills and knowledge we want to carry forward for future generations (as well as what we want to leave behind) Ways AI can work as a personal guardian and digital assistant to help us achieve new levels of wellbeing in the future How to use AI and technology as a tool to increase our creative capacity And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/matthew-james-bailey-how-artificial-intelligence-can-benefit-the-human-species/  Head over to AIEthics.world for more from Matthew James Bailey, including his book Inventing World 3.0: Evolutionary Ethics for Artificial Intelligence, more on ethical AI, Research and Development,  Leadership Training, Master Classes and much more.

Anna Vocino: Why Food Labels Lie and How to Say “No” to Robots

You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit?
