Thanks so much for joining us on Fat-Burning Man where we talk about how to avoid becoming The Borg. Have you ever measured the dirty electricity and electromagnetic pollution emanating from your smart devices at all times? You don’t need me to tell you that modern humans are tethered to technology to an astonishing degree. But for unspecified reasons, electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, and the many health issues that they create are too often hidden from the conversation. Do you keep your ph...

Are you a little bit confused about exactly what is healthy and what isn't? In a sea of disinformation, marketing hype and rage bait, combined with aggressive censorship of researchers, doctors and health professionals, finding your way to the truth isn't easy. Over the past few years, the internet has been hijacked by cowardly, unelected overlords who shadowban, censor and silence us in a sad attempt to dumb us down and keep us in the dark. But what if these tech platforms, instead of intention...

How do store-bought fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, you might ask, match up against the kind you can make at home? Well, most of the yogurts and "fermented foods" you find in the grocery store are unfortunately sorely lacking in the live nutrients department. But when you eat the real thing, a food that's been fermented the right way for the right amount of time, you can tell that it's alive. It's burbling and fizzing, and when you eat it you can feel that it's actually doing somethi...

Have you ever seen a dog that's a spitting image of its owner? The resemblance can be hilariously uncanny, but beyond similarities in affectation, gait and overall goofiness, we find time and time again that the health of our pets is often reflective of the health of their caretakers. Having dogs or pets around has been an integral part of the human experience for ages. But do you know what the biologically appropriate diet really is for your furry friend? If you've been following Fat-Burning Ma...

When was the last time you had a proper bone broth soup? You know, the slow-cooked kind that gets you all the old fashioned, real food vitamins, minerals and goodness out of big old bones and joints. Well, thankfully, getting your broth on doesn't have to mean stinking up your kitchen or garage with boiling oxtails and chicken feet. In the past few years, we found innovative ways to get the nutrition of bone broth into foods that can be a lot more convenient and fun to eat. So today we're here w...

How often do you exercise? Does it surprise you to learn that 3 out of 4 of us humans don't exercise at all, at least not on a regular basis? I'm sure draconian government interventions that outlawed group exercise, shuttered gyms and small businesses and all of that, certainly didn't help matters or our trajectory overall. But the way I see it, you have to find ways of making working out fun. And you also have to do your best to not get sidelined by injury, overtraining, or burnout. So joining ...

What's it like to eat nothing but meat for years on end? Well, contrary to what you may hear on mainstream corporate media, animal protein can be one of the most powerful tools to help you reach and maintain a healthy body composition. But can a full-blown carnivore diet effectively fuel world class feats of athletic performance? I'm honored to say that joining us on the show today is Dr. Shawn Baker M.D., a World Champion Athlete, former Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeon, podcast host, internationa...

How prepared are you for a grid down scenario? While grim estimates from the government estimate that up to 90% of the population could be wiped out after just one year without power, today's remarkable guest has a much more optimistic view.

It's easy to keep your cool during meditation, but real life isn't always quite so serene. So what do you do when someone cuts you off in traffic?

How can we find peace and happiness amongst the chaos of this world? As social media and increasingly the entire internet embraces the worst kind of censorship, it really does seem like the algorithms are trying to excise a part of the complete human. For instance, Instagram just deleted our 10-year-old account with 40,000 followers—something I'll be talking about a bit more in an upcoming podcast. But these bogus copyright claims, the shadowbanning, censorship, and now just outright deleting ou...

What kind of person do you want to be? Do you want to be the person who always seems to be in great shape no matter what? Do you want to shred on guitar and unleash a face-melting solo? Do you want to be creative and just sketch or doodle, even if it's just for a few minutes a day? Or do you want to be the person who wakes up and immediately jumps on their phone for a quick hit of drama-induced dopamine? By asking ourselves a few key questions in getting to what actually fuels our passion, we ca...

How can we reduce our exposure to toxins without driving ourselves absolutely out of our minds? Our workplaces, homes and foods are contaminated with a mind-numbing mix of chemical toxins. And by default, there's a shocking lack of information available about what exactly is contained in the products we buy. But instead of aiming for super sanitized perfection—which is totally impossible—it's better to learn how to reduce our toxic load by ridding our pantries and homes of the worst offenders. A...

How do our finances affect our physical and mental health? Anyone who's ever been in debt knows the toll it takes on our sleep, level of stress and quality of life. And according to a recent report from CNBC, the average American is nearly $100,000 in debt right now. So how can we get back above water? If you're $100,000 in debt, that number is so high that it can be difficult to kind of chop down and make it achievable to pay it off. But if you're willing to really plan out your finances, chang...

How can we build resilience in a pressure cooker society? And equally important, when we're faced with disaster and uncertainty, how can we be better prepared for what's coming next? Even in the best of circumstances, the curveballs in life catch up with you. In my own personal case, some of you may remember that I lost everything in an apartment fire a little more than a decade ago, and then more recently fought back from almost dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. And I can tell you from expe...

How can we separate truth from propaganda? It surprises many to learn that in the United States, propaganda is perfectly legal. It's not so subtle though if you look closely, and the endless drum beat of talking heads repeating the same sound bites over and over doesn't inform us or get us any closer to the truth. Simply doing what we're told won't lead to long-term health or well-being—just look at the food pyramid—we have to take on that responsibility ourselves. That's why it's more important...

What's with all the protein shaming lately? When a staggering 75% to 80% of us are overweight and facing metabolic dysfunction, is eating less meat on Mondays really going to save us? If you really want to know who is responsible for the destruction of our environment and our collective health, I'm happy to say it's definitely not our cow friends peacefully burping on pasture. Eliminating a high-quality protein source like meat often backfires as meat substitutes and other processed vegan and ve...

What's the secret to aging gracefully? When it comes to training, you don't need to punish yourself to achieve incredible results. In fact, life-long fitness junkies often see physical movement not as punishment, but as a creative act. Breaking a sweat sets off a hormonal cascade that increases mental alertness, boosts your energy and leads to long-term gains in quality of life. But none of this matters unless you actually do it. The key is making physical activity fun. So today, I am honored to...
