Don't Be Dogmatic About Diet | Dr. Shawn Baker & Peter Sage
Peter Sage is a well-known international serial entrepreneur, best-selling author, and expert in human behavior. He is a dynamic and sought-after public speaker and coach who has shared the stage with Sir Richard Branson and President Bill Clinton. In 2013, he was awarded the distinguished Brand Laureate Award from the Asian Pacific Brands Foundation for extraordinary individuals sharing that honor with previous winners, including Nelson Mandela, Steve Jobs, Keanu Reeves, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus. In 2015, he was named one of the greatest leaders and entrepreneurs, alongside Sir Richard Branson, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg, by inspiring leadership. In January 2017, Peter was held in contempt of court for a civil matter and served several months in Pentonville, widely recognized as one of the worst and most dangerous prisons in the UK. So, what happens when you put a non-criminal and one of the world's top experts in personal growth into one of the most violent prisons in the UK? You get a masterclass on how to turn adversity to your advantage. While in Pentonville, Peter wrote 11 private letters to his elite coaching students. After his release, these letters were published as "The Inside Track," quickly becoming a best-selling book. Written in a conversational style, each one breaks down the tools, techniques, and insights he uses and shows how to face any problem in your life from a place of power, not force and turn your biggest challenges into your greatest achievements. And Peter walks this same walk as he turned his "adventure" in Pentonville, losing everything he had and coming out a quarter of a million dollars in debt into a thriving personal development company that has earned over 20 million in revenue since he got out and transformed thousands of people. In 2022 and again in 2023, Peter was named by Global Gurus as one of the top motivational speakers in the world. His mission is to raise global consciousness and change the lives of over 10 million people within the next 10 years.

At 20, She Was In Trouble, Then She Found Carnivore | Dr. Shawn Baker & Laura
Laura, a registered nurse with a remarkable health transformation story, shares her journey from starting a ketogenic diet back in 1991, a day before Thanksgiving, to becoming a carnivore and ultimately adopting a lion diet for the past 10 months. Laura's health overhaul began when she decided to take control of her wellbeing, leading to an astonishing loss of 140 pounds without the use of statins recommended by her doctor, whom she fired 9 months into her journey. Diving deep into her experience, Laura explains how her triglyceride levels plummeted from over 1000 to an astounding 33-35, defying her initial medical prognosis. Her journey didn't stop there; inspired by her own success, she pursued a career in nursing. Over four years ago, Laura transitioned to a carnivore diet and has been following the lion diet for the last 10 months, further refining her health and vitality. Laura's passion for health extends beyond her personal achievements. As a nurse, she is dedicated to educating patients, their families, and even their doctors about the benefits of dietary changes. Her proudest accomplishments include helping two male patients reverse their diabetes, leading them to discontinue all insulin and oral diabetic medications. This video is not just Laura's story but a testament to the power of dietary intervention in transforming health.

Vegetarian Diet Did NOT Work Out For Him | Dr. Shawn Baker & Rus
Rus' interest in sports and nutrition started early. During his teen years, the 15-year-old became fascinated by how diet and exercise interact to impact performance. Unlike many teens, Rus took a scholarly approach - reading and self-experimenting to understand this relationship. His curiosity led him to carefully plan multiple daily meals aimed at strategic fueling. Rus also explored various fasting regimes and even a months-long vegetarian diet. These self-experiments allowed Rus to refine his knowledge of his body's nutritional needs to optimize sports performance. Through systematic trial-and-error, he translated this enthusiasm into practical know-how and personal growth well beyond his years without the impulse of health problems.

Diagnosed with T1 Diabetes at age 11, Suzanne has lived experience of the challenges of managing chronic health through diet.
