If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem? No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough? This is totally normal. There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep. We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness is flawed, however, as it assumes we’re meant to live in some perfect state of perpetual bliss. But that doesn’t jive with biology or reality. The truth is that our mammalian brains are wired for survival, not to feel happy all the time. Feelings of happiness and achievement are short-lived, and it’s meant to be that way. But by harnessing proven principles of brain science and evolutionary biology, you can use dissatisfaction, pain and discomfort to propel you to your next epic success. Today we’re back with our friend, Loretta Breuning, PhD, author, Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay, and Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why our brain's happy chemicals are only released in short spurts, and quickly habituate to rewards How to untangle your emotional wiring by tracking down patterns from childhood Why our natural "herd impulse" can lead to groupthink and the suppression of individuality (and how to counteract it) Simple strategies to manage anxiety and fear How to spark small joys and harness dopamine triggers in the brain’s reward system to create meaning and purpose in your life And much more… Get free goodies here: https://fatburningman.com/ Join my substack: https://abeljames.substack.com/

Do you feel like you’re addicted to screens? Technology was supposed to improve our quality of life, but instead it’s fueled a war on our attention, happiness, and sanity. Some of the most intelligent brain scientists in the world are paid ungodly sums to make sure you’re as addicted as possible, hijacking your reward pathways so they can mine your time, manipulate your thought processes, and sell your data to the highest bidder. The endless pursuit of corporate profits has created an algorithmic race to the bottom. Constant digital stimulation rewires our brains, upsets hormonal balance, saps our energy, and even degrades our ability to feel connected to humans in real life. The damage that social media and screentime can cause to mental health, especially for young women, is well-documented. Social media platforms contribute to body dysmorphia and eating disorders, and progressively lead to serious mental health issues like anxiety, depression, and far worse. In the face of epidemic levels of loneliness and isolation, men who pursue pleasure from screens reinforce their addiction to digital stimulation, which causes testosterone levels, energy, and motivation to plummet. So how can we reverse our overreliance on exploitative modern technology and create real, authentic human connections and relationships in a digital age? Today we’re back with our friend Dr. John Gray, former monk and author of more than 20+ books including “Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus” the best-selling relationship book of all time. In this episode with Dr. Gray, you’ll discover: Simple strategies to increase testosterone in men, and balance hormones in women (without using exogenous drugs) What living as a monk for 9 years taught Dr. Gray about mindfulness and meditation How harnessing the "polarity" between masculine and feminine energies can reignite attraction, intimacy and romance in relationships Why complaining can be addictive and what to do instead How small acts of kindness and appreciation help build intimacy and connection in your relationships The potential impacts and dangers of new technologies like virtual reality on future human relationships and interactions And much more… Subscribe here: https://abeljames.substack.com/

Are we blaming red meat and butter for the problems vegetable oil caused? Contrary to popular belief, there is no correlation between either saturated fat or animal fat consumption and heart attacks. Despite that fact, doctors learn that there is. So why does the American Heart Association lie to doctors and the public about the true cause of heart disease? All the way back in the 1950’s, Ancel Keys manipulated and falsified data to blame butter, red meat, and saturated fats for heart disease. The American Heart Association has been misleading us about the cause of heart disease ever since. This indoctrination of physicians, dietitians and the public enabled Big Oil and Big Food to flood the American diet with cheaply produced industrial vegetable and seed oils that alter our body chemistry in unfortunate and unnatural ways. The very diet doctors recommend as healthy is making us sick. Consuming industrial vegetable oils, like corn, canola, cottonseed, soy, sunflower, safflower, rice bran, and grapeseed oils disrupts cellular energy metabolism and leads to toxicity, oxidative stress and disease in the body. Conversely, avoiding newfangled industrial junk oils and replacing them with traditional fats like butter, tallow, olive oil, and coconut oil can help restore metabolic health. This week’s guest is here to set the record straight. Returning to the show today is our friend, the brilliant Dr. Cate Shanahan, one of the world’s leading authorities on nutrition and human metabolism. A board-certified Family Physician with over 20 years of clinical experience, and NY Times bestselling author, her expertise is fixing the underlying problems that cause metabolic damage and inflammation. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why doctors working in the insurance-based system no longer have the freedom to do what they think is best for their patients How the American Heart Association sold its soul to Big Oil in 1948 The undisclosed conflict of interest between the vegetable oil industry and organized medicine How vegetable oils disrupt cellular energy metabolism leading to oxidative stress, toxicity, disease, and accelerated aging Why vegetable oils labeled “Organic” are not necessarily better than non-organic Which oils are most damaging and what to use instead And much more… Visit https://fatburningman.com/ for more episodes!

Happy Independence Day! In the spirit of celebrating the 4th, what do you think of censorship? It's a bizarre and uncomfortable feeling when some unelected, self-appointed anonymous party behind the curtain decides what you're not allowed to say or learn. We live in a world where little people like us are legally responsible for every word we put online. But when our overlords in Big Tech censor potentially life-saving information, should they be held to the same standard? And who exactly decides what's true and what's not? After I was censored and shadowbanned by multiple platforms during the pandemic, a wise friend reminded me that “the closer you are to the truth, the more likely you are to be censored.” When incentives are upside down, big tech and the government don't censor lies, they censor the truth… and attack the reputation and livelihoods of those who dare speak it. So if we’re responsible for every word we say online, Big Tech should be held legally accountable for every word they’ve ever censored. Especially when it’s clear that they have been intentionally suppressing honest conversations and critical, true, and timely information that could save lives. The downfalls of our current system are becoming obvious to even those with the most stubborn case of Stockholm Syndrome. So who will hold the big tech censors, medical tyrants, half-alive politicians, and pot-bellied, turtlenecked billionaires accountable? And how can we take back responsibility for our own health, well-being and survival? The truth is that it’s on us to build parallel systems as the current medical-industrial complex based on profit, exploitation and upside-down incentives falls apart. There are many reasons to be optimistic for the future. Our guest this week is a visionary building solutions to help reclaim our digital lives from the grip of Big Tech, prioritizing sovereignty, privacy, and freedom for individuals. Today we’re here with Govinda Tidball, a former United Nations Senior Advisor with the World Food Programme and Director of the Ministry of Health in America, an organization committed to re-establishing individual health sovereignty. Govinda served as a team member of the Disrupt Hunger Global Challenge in Germany, he co-founded Sri Lanka’s national Emergency Medical Service and call center, and has been involved in global counter human trafficking efforts for over fifteen years. A man of many talents, Govinda is also a former world-class athlete, television host, radio personality, public speaker, and was even involved in the fashion industry for a time. In this episode, you'll discover: Why America's medical system is an underperforming outlier with poor outcomes and low life expectancy despite astronomical costs The promise of Web5 technology, which incorporates decentralization and privacy to combat top-down control, censorship and weaponized algorithms How to incentivize actual health, rather than the current system of running bodies through the medical system for profit Simple steps to plan ahead for economic and environmental disasters How to take back responsibility for our own health and well-being, instead of blindly following authority figures And much more…

Have you ever ignored your doctor's advice? Most doctors enter the medical field with noble intentions, but are unaware of the systemic corruption and profit driven nature of the industry. The hard economic truth is that nearly every institution that impacts your health makes more money by managing chronic disease than by curing patients. The pharmaceutical industry has influenced medical research and treatment, leading to a focus on recurring revenue through chronic medication and intervention over prevention. As a result, many doctors feel trapped inside a broken system. Modern healthcare isn't working because it focuses on treating symptoms, rather than addressing the root cause of metabolic dysfunction, which can be caused by three physiological processes, mitochondrial dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and oxidative stress. To explore these subjects and more, we're here today with Casey Means, MD, a Stanford trained physician, co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world's metabolic health crisis, and the bestselling author of the new book on metabolic health called “Good Energy.” In this episode, we chat about: How metabolic dysfunction affects various cell types in the body, leading to diverse symptoms and diseases Why it's a problem that nutrition science is funded largely by food manufacturers, and healthcare research is funded by pharmaceutical companies How the complexity and confusion surrounding health and wellness is intentional as it creates a need for external experts and products Why the profit-driven healthcare system prioritizes managing chronic diseases over curing them leading to widespread metabolic dysfunction and premature mortality How to optimize your metabolic function with simple and inexpensive lifestyle strategies And much more… Follow Abel James on X: https://x.com/AbelJames Subscribe to Abel James' Substack: https://abeljames.substack.com/

Did you know that doctors were treating diabetic patients with high-fat low-carb diets all the way back in the 1700s? Though high-fat ketogenic diets were found to effectively treat diabetes for over a century, they were largely abandoned due to the rapid adoption of insulin in the 1920s, which was considered then to be a miracle cure. Prioritizing drugs over lifestyle with insulin therapy, however, led to unexpected long term complications in patients, including damage to large and small blood vessels that results in heart disease, strokes, kidney damage, neuropathy, amputations, blindness, dementia, and a decrease in life expectancy. Once a rare condition, diabetes is now so common that drugstores dedicate entire aisles to it. One in every $4 spent in American healthcare goes to diabetic patients, with over $300 billion in direct costs every year. The Diabetes story is a metaphor of the rapid adoption of a wonder drug without knowing the long term consequences. And in an age when Hollywood influencers in the media are touting the seemingly miraculous benefits of our latest weight loss wonder drugs GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic, it's worth examining the long term risks and consequences of heavy handed pharmaceutical interventions. Today, we're back with our friend Gary Taubes, an award-winning investigative science and health journalist and bestselling author of “Why We Get Fat” and “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” as well as his new book “Rethinking Diabetes.” Gary has dedicated his work to dismantling conventional nutritional theory with his research lectures and books. And at this point, Gary is better versed in diabetes literature than pretty much anyone alive. In this episode, we’re chatting about: Why lifestyle interventions that effectively treated diabetes for over a century were abandoned by the medical establishment How flawed dietary guidelines in the 1970s recommended high-carb diets for heart health without evidence Why the modern push for plant-based diets is based on bad science and misconceived journalism Why the wide adoption of diabetes and weight loss wonder drugs like GLP-1 agonists should raise long term safety and side effect concerns And much, much more… Abel James on X: https://x.com/AbelJames Subscribe to Abel James' Substack: https://abeljames.substack.com/

Does it feel like a dollar isn't worth a dollar anymore? At first, inflation feels good for some of us. Homeowners see their houses rapidly increase in nominal price, the stock market appears to rise, even used cars and trucks sitting in the driveway growing older somehow appear to become more valuable. But when you fill up your cart at the grocery store, pay for skyrocketing insurance and tax bills, and account for rapid and permanent increases in housing, energy and all the other costs of living, you start to feel the sting of runaway inflation. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics in the Federal Reserve, in the past three years groceries are up 20% across the board, gas is up 45%, Energy is up 38% and credit card debt is up 45%. This would all be well and good if our salaries doubled overnight. Has yours? Debasement of our currency has eroded our standard of living, degraded nutrients in our food supply, and left us poorer and sicker than any time in recent history. Fiat inflation is a hidden tax lobbied without your consent, eroding the spending power of every dollar you've ever earned. In a debt-based fiat system, saving is a losing strategy. Increasingly, we're incentivized to spend immediately, not save. Corporations are incentivized to borrow, not earn. With cheaper access to massive low interest debt, the ruling class is able to gleefully stripmine any remaining wealth from the middle and lower classes. Since 1900, our dollar has lost nearly 99% of its spending power. This is not an accident. In 1900, a single dollar could buy a pair of patent leather shoes, a woman's house dress or even be saved with confidence. The average American could afford to eat 175 pounds of meat a year, mostly beef, as well as plenty of eggs, bacon and sausage. Collectively, our heart health was also far better. By 1972, we ate 104 pounds of red meat a year, and as of 2019, our consumption was cut in half to just 56 pounds. Since then, obesity and disease has become widespread in adults and children alike as our quality of life has deteriorated. Using propaganda from fraudulent studies, monetary distortions and backward subsidies, the collusion of government, industry and special interests has intentionally shifted diets away from healthful whole foods and nutrient dense meats to industrial seed oils, GMO grains, and fake meats. Doritos, Lucky Charms and plant-based fake meats don't increase in price nearly as quickly as real food like beef and veggies. For corporations, selling highly processed industrial products is much more profitable than selling meat. As our guest this week quips, “You can print Doritos like you can print fiat dollars.” Real food, though, has become cost prohibitive for many of us, so we eat processed industrial junk instead. This hurts people, especially kids. Thanks to government manipulation of food prices and top-down dietary recommendations, our mass consumption of ultra processed foods understates the rate of inflation in our food system and makes us sicker, allowing Big Food and Big Pharma to profit on both sides. As it turns out, feeding people poison and managing their sickness is big business. But this story goes far deeper than just Big Food and Big Pharma. Unchecked inflation has not only undermined real purchasing power and destroyed our health, but the fiat dollar has also enabled endless war profiteering without the consent of the people. The most powerful weapon ever conceived by man is the fiat money printer. Today we're here with Matthew Lysiak, a nationally recognized investigative journalist, crime reporter and award-winning author of the brilliant new book “Fiat Food” which unravels the shocking history of how inflation destroyed our health, our food system, and our quality of life. In this episode, you will discover: How a 100 year conspiracy and propaganda campaign by anti-meat religious groups, the medical industrial complex and politicians hijacked our food system for profit Why observational studies on diet and health are misleading and are often weaponized for political and financial gain How mainstream media and religious groups manipulate nutritional science to control public health Why the government masks the true cost of inflation resulting from severing ties to the gold standard Why the public school system deprives kids of proper nutrition And much more… Abel James on X: https://x.com/AbelJames Subscribe to Abel James on Substack: https://abeljames.substack.com/

In the face of creeping medical tyranny, a rapidly devaluing dollar, rampant tech addiction and an epidemic of chronic disease, what can we do to reclaim our health, wealth and freedom? We're back today with our friend Dr. Jack Kruse, a respected neurosurgeon, author, mitochondriac and pioneer and medical freedom. Dr. Kruse was one of the very first guests on this podcast all the way back in 2012 when we first launched, and this is probably our most expansive, spicy and eyebrow raising public conversation to date. If you haven't already, I encourage you to go back and listen to Dr. Jack's prior episodes as these conversations are largely cumulative. In this episode with Dr. Jack Kruse, we explore: How mind control research led to modern surveillance capitalism How light and electricity is used to control human and animal behavior How technology and algorithms are weaponized for social engineering The dangers of exposure to blue light and non-native electromagnetic frequencies The startling risks of using virtual reality headsets, bluetooth earbuds, smartphones and brain implants How to decentralize your health and your wealth The sordid untold history of government corruption that enabled creeping medical tyranny, financial manipulation and forever wars How medical freedom laws and constitutional amendments can shape the future of healthcare And much more… Let's go hang out with Uncle Jack. A quick note. This episode might get us into trouble. This conversation is nearly 3 hours long, and Jack does a deep dive into many subjects that the technocrats don't want us talking about. Now, just because I'm airing this show doesn't mean that I condone, agree with, or even understand every point. And of course, this is not meant to be financial or medical advice. We offer this conversation uncensored and in its entirety, so that you can be the judge of what's true and what's not. I'm not here to censor my guests, and in my experience knowing Dr. Kruse for more than 12 years, Jack does his absolute best to be directionally accurate. But here's a question for you: As you listen, if the disturbing claims made in this conversation are true, what does it say about the levels of corruption within our highest political and health institutions, and what can we do to expose the truth and restore real accountability and power to the people?
