Are we being mind controlled? What's wrong with a sterilized culture, where speaking out against the status quo gets you shadow-banned and censored across platforms? When free speech and free expression on all sides are egregiously squashed by unelected technocratic powers with zero accountability, it's clear someone is trying to influence or control the conversation. That's why it's more important than ever to do your homework and think for yourself, especially when your health is concerned. You have to take on that responsibility. And joining us today is the perfect guest to talk through some spicy and timely topics, our friend and fellow podcaster, writer and founder of Wild Foods, Colin Stuckert. We need all the good people we can get to make it through this circus with our health and sanity intact. Colin is doing great work and I'm honored that our messages and businesses are so aligned. On this show with Colin Stuckert, where we're chatting about: • The dangers of sterilizing culture • What we can learn from looking to nomadic hunter-gatherer cultures • Strategies for improving your mood that cost no money • How to navigate difficult situations by joining together as a community • How to counteract fragility through lifestyle • Benefits of taking the path of most resistance • And tons more...

What's worth more? A $20 bill or a bottle of wine? In a pinch, I've realized real world pleasures like wine can be worth more than cold hard cash. With rising food inflation and obvious issues with our supply chains, it's a good time to make sure you're stocked up on provisions for whatever life throws at you. Which is why, even if you don't drink or you're not drinking right now, having a supply of high quality biodynamic natural wines can be a worthy alternative investment. (Hey there legal eagles, this is not investment advice.) When a friend recently turned down payment in the form of money—actually a couple of crisp $20 bills, he just would not take them—but he gladly accepted our bottle of wine. And that just reinforced the notion that having a diversity of items available to barter and trade could come in mighty handy in the future that we're facing. So returning to the show today is our very good friend, Todd White. Todd is a serial entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and founder of our all-time favorite supplier of natural biodynamic and organic wines, Dry Farm Wines. After 15 years in the wine business, Todd's life is dedicated to educating and helping people make better choices about food, nutrition and how they think about consuming alcohol. We're getting into some fun and interesting topics on today's show, including: • How social interaction with friends, family and the community is a nutrient that we all need • Daily practices like gratitude, meditation and fitness at home • How to spread love and inspire each other, especially in workplace environments • Social media and fake news burnout • Why it's cool to barter with gifts from the land • And tons more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/todd-white-biodynamic-wine-bartering-social-media-burnout Check out and support Todd White, and try Dry Farm Wines yourself and get a bottle for just 1 penny: DryFarmWines.com/wild 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 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatburningman/ And click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

You know how a steak is marbled with fat—the fatter the animal, the more fat you see marbled through the muscle meat? Did you know the same thing can happen in your muscles? When you don't have your strength, when you're not training, when you're de-conditioned or sedentary, the muscles in the human body can actually become marbled with fat. I don't know about you, but that image alone is enough to keep me training. And we have the perfect guests here today. I'm happy to say that joining us is Dr. Gregory Kelly, a Naturopathic physician, author of "Shape Shift: The Shape Intelligence Solution" and the director of product development over at Neurohacker Collective.

Have you tried eating low carb yet? How did it go? How did you feel? Did it last? Be honest. Many people get incredible results by kicking out all the processed junk, sugar, and by dialing down the carbs, but I'm going to be honest with you, I love carbs. After my hard workouts, after my runs up the mountains, there's definitely a place for good carbs like wild rice, quinoa, sweet potato, old school sourdough, even some treats every once in a while. Carbs can be our friends too. So how do we scale our intake of fat, protein, and carbs, to achieve our ideal body composition? Today, we're here with a perfect person to talk about it, the wonderful and talented, Tara Garrison. Tara is a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, and mindset coach who helps high performers, including celebrities, professional athletes, and top executives optimize their health.

Ever since the world shut down, crippling small businesses, decimating communities and filling us all with fears of certain death, the response from politicians and world government has been disturbingly inadequate, to say the least. Instead of educating the public on how to strengthen our immune system, politicians have preyed on people's fears, divided us, locked us inside, forced us all to cover our faces with cloth, and socially distance all the while. But there's a big difference between socially distancing and physically distancing. I'm beginning to feel that this choice of words was not an accident. Also used as a form of torture, social distancing and isolation—especially combined with too much social media and screen time—destroys our relationships and damages our mental health. Living in a constant state of anxiety and fear is just about the worst possible thing for our health and well-being. When our mental health suffers our physical health falls apart. And at some point, we'll all have to acknowledge that mental health actually matters. So we'll talk in this show today about how to deal with all of these crazy feelings that we may or may not be experiencing right now. Today, we're here with Amy Morin, a psychotherapist, psychology lecturer, licensed clinical social worker, and author who’s now on her 4th book. Amy’s TEDx talk, The Secret of Becoming Mentally Strong, is one of the most popular talks of all time with more than 14 million views. And Amy’s new podcast “Mentally Strong People” will be coming to you live from her floating podcast studio in the Florida Keys, where she lives on a sailboat! If you're looking to build your mental strength and fortitude, this is the episode for you. On today’s show with Amy Morin we're discussing… * Specific mental strength exercises to manage your emotions, regulate your thoughts and take more productive action * How to train your brain for happiness and success * Facing your fears and taking back your power * How to raise self-assured children * And tons more...

Did you ever dream of being a pro athlete? What happens when your goal becomes impossible? It seems like an uphill battle out there recently, and a new playing field, so to speak. You really need an ally. You need someone who's a comrade, someone who's there. And so often that’s just being there physically for them, but also just being that supportive force in the world of Doritos, Oreos, Facebook and all the rest of it. It's rough out there, so we need to prop each other up where we can. And to help us out, today we’re here with David Nurse, an NBA life optimization coach, podcast host, worldwide motivational speaker, and bestselling author of “Pivot & Go.” A former pro basketball player and coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has helped more than 150 NBA players really succeed on and off the court. You’re going to like this one.

So, you've heard some of these words that are bouncing all around the inter-webs recently: Carnivore, keto, plant-based, vegan. But do you know the nuances of what all these different words mean? What's the difference between keto and Atkins? What's the difference between clean keto and dirty keto? I mean, we can get really complicated with this. Whether it's plant-based, carnivore, detoxes, cleanses—words are very confusing, more than ever. And as it turns out, the meaning of words actually matters. So today, we're here to dial-in the meaning a little bit, so that you can actually figure out what to put on your plate. No matter what identity or word you're following, there are certain principles you can follow to take your health back into your own hands. So joining us on the show today is our friend, Ben Azadi, best-selling author of 3 books—"The Perfect Health Booklet", "The Intermittent Fasting Cheat Sheet", and "The Power of Sleep"—he’s also a health coach, public speaker and host of the Keto Kamp Podcast. On this show with Ben, we’re chatting about: * Ben's journey to shedding 80 pounds and keeping it off * How to get a mental six-pack * The difference between dirty keto and restorative keto * Why to avoid inflammatory fats (and what to eat instead) * How to use intermittent fasting and extended block-fasting * Tips on developing the right mental attitude for long-term success * How to transform from a sugar burner to a fat burner * And tons more...

Who’s hijacking the internet? It started out, you'd pick up a phone and you'd call or text one other person. But now, we’re all in these separate little online groups. We're connected but it's also been co-opted. And it attacks us from so many different directions. And no matter how much they try to bury us, we can still find each other, we just might need to try a little bit harder. Well, I’m happy to say that returning to the show today is long-time friend, fellow podcaster, and multi-talented maniac Vinnie Tortorich.

Have you seen the sun today? According to the EPA, Americans spend about 90% of their lives indoors. How does that look for you? If you're looking to improve your energy, sleep, mood and much, much more, getting sun exposure is critical.

Are we living in an experiment? Instead of securing the general welfare of the people and defending and securing our rights of liberty, it seems the powers that be are more interested in poisoning us while taking away our freedoms. It’s time to ditch the confusion and take our health into our own hands. To help us out, Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to the show to help us look at some everyday ingredients that we would do well to remove from our diets all together, including vegetable oils. Dr. Cate went to Cornell and is trained in Family Medicine with a background in biochemistry and genetics. She’s authored three books including "The Fatburn Fix," "Deep Nutrition," and "Food Rules."

These days, it's fashionable to pop antibiotics like Tic Tacs, and it's almost impossible not to feel pressured into pumping sanitizer onto our hands when we enter or leave any store. But did you know that even occasional use of antibiotics, hand sanitizers, and other germ-killers can wreak havoc on your long-term health? Evidence is mounting that this germophobic clean craze - our obsession with antibiotics, hand sanitizer and sterile environments - is actually making us sicker. Why? Because our bodies were perfectly designed to have a symbiotic relationship with bacteria, protozoa, fungi, and even viruses. When you wipe all of those “bugs” away, your immune system can turn on itself. Hence the current epidemic of auto-immunity. And if we stop to take a quick look at the chemical ingredients in some of these hand-sanitizer, you may notice things like Triclosan, which is an endocrine disruptor and toxic to microbes and can actually cause thyroid issues and a lot of other problems. So in this special throwback episode that seems more timely than ever, we're here with Dr. Robynne Chutkan, a leading expert in the world of gut health and one of the most recognizable gastroenterologists working in America. Dr. Chutkan has a B.S. from Yale and an M.D. from Columbia, and is the best-selling author of multiple books, including 'Gutbliss','The Microbiome Solution' and 'The Bloat Cure'. On today's throwback with Dr. Chutkan you're going to learn: * The value of getting dirty * Why you should reconsider using hand sanitizer * How to rewild your microbiome * And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/dr-robynne-chutkan-rewilding-your-microbiome-how-to-recover-from-antibiotics-high-octane-poop Check out and support Dr. Robynne Chutkan at https://robynnechutkan.com/ 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 Let's be friends on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatburningman/ And click here for your free Fat-Burning Kit: http://fatburningman.com/bonus

How do you stay fit when you’re trapped in someone else’s house?

What can a former FDA Special Agent teach us about America? With big corporations and big government steamrolling small-town businesses and mom and pop shops, it's time to ask ourselves what we want the future of humanity to look like. Returning to the show today to help us out is my friend Gary Collins, bestselling author of "The Simple Life" book series and host of Your Better Life Podcast.

How would you like to print your own money? Well, unless you work with the Federal Reserve, you're going to have to get creative. But in the face of rampant food inflation, growing your own food comes pretty close. And with the price of food rising globally, we've got to get prepared. Are you ready for this? Are you ready for the price of food to skyrocket? Health is a survival skill, and also getting access to clean water, and healthy fresh nutrient-dense foods—this is extremely important and it's only going to become more so because our food system is under attack. So today on the show, we have a throwback episode with Ron Finley, known as the Gangsta Gardener. A decade ago, Ron planted a curbside garden in the strip of soil in front of his house in LA. The city tried to shut it down, but instead of giving up Ron accidentally started a revolution and changed the game of urban gardening. And he's here to teach you critical survival skills, the ability to grow your own food, no matter where you are. On this powerful show with Ron, you’re about to learn: * Why growing your own food is a bit like printing your own money * How Ron changed the laws of urban gardening * How to change a kid’s life with a homegrown tomato * And much more… Check out and support Ron Finley's work: http://RonFinley.com/ Subscribe to Ron's Masterclass on Gardening: https://www.masterclass.com/classes/ron-finley-teaches-gardening Watch Ron's TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/ron_finley_a_guerrilla_gardener_in_south_central_la?language=en Follow Ron on...

When is it time to stand up for what you believe in? We believe that time is now. We’re hitting pause on our scheduled podcasts and posts to honor and highlight our black brothers and sisters and people of color in June. In this special episode from the Trust & Believe Podcast, you're going to hear directly from our dear friend, Shaun T. Shaun and I got to know each other about 5 years ago now on ABC TV working on a TV show called "My Diet is Better Than Yours." He inspired me in so many different ways, and I'm very thankful to say that we've kept in touch over the years and he's actually been on the Fat-Burning Man Show two times in the past. You know Shaun, long story short, is one of the best motivators I have ever seen in action and one of the best people I know. So for many reasons, I would like to highlight his voice today. There's a lot that we can learn from what he has to say. And I will warn you, it's a very emotional show. But we did keep the language family-friendly, so don't worry about that. Today, Shaun T explains what's happening from his perspective. This was originally recorded for Shaun’s podcast Trust and Believe, and we decided to cross-post it here. I first listened to this podcast with a lump in my throat and tearing up the whole time. Love, patience, and understanding will get us through this. Not violence and destruction. Black Lives Matter, we see you, we hear you, we stand with you, and we love you. Thank you for being patient as we all work together. We are being divided, I believe, on purpose from the top down. And we will only get through this by showing each other compassion, patience, sympathy, and empathy. And hugs when they're legal again. And so, I hope this special show today and the ones to come will help bring a little bit more empathy or at least sympathy and compassion back to the world. We need it desperately right now.

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...
