Advancements in artificial intelligence are rapidly changing the nature of human experience. So why is it important that AI not be bankrupt of ethics? What are the uniquely human qualities and characteristics we should carry with us into the future? And could popping a chip into our brain result in an immediate and irreversible deletion of our biology or even our humanity? AI will never be able to think with its heart or have anything to say of its own accord, AI doesn't care if what it's saying...

How can we get the most out of our genetic potential? Breakthroughs in science, research and epigenetics show us that we're not simply stuck with the genes we inherited from our parents.

You know that feeling when your stomach turns into a bottomless pit? Even if you read food labels like a hawk, sneaky appetite-stimulating ingredients can be lurking in spices, sauces and other foods without ever being included on the label. In fact, there are a number of ingredients food manufacturers aren't required to disclose that might jeopardize your ability to moderate food intake. So if you've ever found yourself mindlessly shoveling evermore food into your mouth without satisfying your ...

When was the last time you felt anxious, depressed or stressed out? If you're thinking “Right now! This moment. Today, yesterday, most days,” you're definitely not alone. It happens to everyone. You get stressed, you start breathing wrong, and the day gets away from you. Most of us would agree that we've never seen people, especially in the western world, more sick and stressed out than right now. And more and more, it's unfortunate to see the younger generation suffering. Our tech-heavy environ...

I don't know anyone who has made it through the past few years unscathed. But can we really program our nervous systems and brains after trauma? The answer is unequivocally yes.

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?

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?

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...
