You Won't Believe What Dry Fasting Does | Dr. Shawn Baker & Dr. August Dunning
Dr. Dunning is a fearless researcher currently deeply involved in understanding the biochemical and structural relationships inside the human body to prevent illness, slow senescence and regenerate tissue with existing body systems that have not been used to their fullest. He studies life extension. Currently he's writing his third book on the subject of life extension that looks at the intimate relationship of Iron overloading in the mitochondrial matrix and copper deficiency that exacerbates that relationship. It is evident that diet is a keystone in that arch and the correct human diet is animal based. He believes that what goes on between the mouth and the mitochondrial membrane determines our victory in maintaining health. He follows Mark Twain's thinking about the scientific method in that "I was educated once; it took me years to get over it." Skepticism is the key to learning in his view. His expertise is in regenerative medicine practicing a Hippocratic method; employing food, or restricting food to improve mitochondrial health and ATP output. He is also a promoter of animal products as an optimal food source based on our early development as large brained hominids from the adoption of eating bone marrow and meat scraps from large predator kills 4 million years ago. He is the author of two books, one on dry fasting called "The Phoenix Protocol" and one on exercise for preventing sarcopenia and osteopenia titled "Neogenesis."

She Used To Be Vegan, Now She's A Regenerative Rancher | Dr. Shawn Baker & Mollie Engelhart
Mollie Engelhart, a mother of five, is one of America's foremost advocates for regenerative farming and health freedom. Her commitment to people having healthy food has intertwined her two regenerative farms (in California and Texas) and her restaurants, formerly Sage Vegan Bistro.
