What should we eat? When and how should we eat it? These are questions that every single generation of humans spanning across hundreds of thousands of years have pondered and debated.

In modern times, it’s arguable that even with all the progression in metabolic biochemistry, physiology, and the culinary arts, we’re further from a practical application of human nutrition than ever. 3/4 of us are overweight or obese,1/3 of us are pre-diabetic or diabetic, and almost 9/10 of us have some form of metabolic syndrome. All the while, we spend more per capita on healthcare than ever. This is an indictment of our modern food system. This is an unacceptable failure.

In this week's Free Fatty Friday, Geoffrey Woo claims and defines the term "modern nutrition." He talks the history, the evolution, the application of nutrition, and how we move humanity forward with an enlightened approach to modern nutrition.

Metabolism regulates our sleep, our appetite, our weight, and our energy levels. One reason we’ve been so in the dark about metabolic health is because there are no good tools to measure how your diet affects you in a quantifiable way. Is metabolic disease the real pandemic? How can we maximize our metabolic health?

In this episode, Geoffrey Woo and Dr. Casey Means, Levels Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, discuss a wide-ranging topic from the relationship between Covid-19 and our metabolic health, to what Levels’ approach to metabolic dysfunction, our diet, and how continuous glucose monitoring affects behavior change.

Levels helps you maximize your metabolic health so you can live a longer, fuller, healthier life. They currently have a waitlist of over 60,000 and is running a closed early access program. You can skip that line and get special access to Levels immediately with our special link: levels.link/hvmn

Geoff and Brian Muraresku, the best-selling author of “The Immortality Key” discuss the provocative theory of psychedelics at the heart of the Ancient Greek and Roman mysteries, early Christianity, and Western Civilization.

This isn't a college dorm-room stoner talk. Brian spent over 12 years studying the ancient classics in their original form of Ancient Greek, exploring the Vatican's Secret Archives and underground catacombs, and tying the historical record with the latest analytical and spectral analysis techniques of archaeochemistry to demonstrate a rigorous look at the hypothesis that psychedelics was at the heart of both Greek & Roman mysteries and paleo-Christian eucharist.

If this is all true, what does this imply for the future of our civilization and culture?

In this episode, Geoffrey Woo speaks with Mansal Denton, the founder of Sacred Hunting, an entrepreneur, author, and explorer of our relationship to life and death through hunting.

Mansal is on a fascinating journey — from making an early mistake that landed him in jail to paying his debts to society to being an early thought leader in the nootropics community to now defining "Sacred Hunting" which is his combination of hunting, ancestral tradition, a masculine rite of passage, plant medicine & psychedelics, and spirituality. Struggling with shame and confusion of what it meant to be a man, Mansal found his calling with the sacred art of hunting and desires to share this practice with more men to build confidence, and step into manhood in the path of our ancestors. This is a wide-ranging and interesting philosophical exploration. Enjoy!

Geoff explores the concept of "compounding." Compounding is unintuitive to a lot of us because things move linearly. Compounding moves exponentially, and very few things in nature move exponentially. How do we apply this idea to our daily lives? Geoff talks about applying compounding to (1) health, (2) people, and (3) ideas.

Geoffrey Woo and Professor Richard Johnson discuss the nuances of fructose and explore its relationship in the metabolism of obesity and other chronic diseases.

Dr. Johnson is a nephrologist who focused his research on a form of sugar called fructose. Fructose is the sugar found in soda and other highly processed and highly palatable foods. Is fructose the central mediator of metabolic syndrome and obesity? Is fructose the underlying culprit behind insulin resistance? Why does fructose have a unique impact on health compared to other sugars and carbohydrate?

We discuss all of this and more.

In October, I think Halloween, and in November, I think Thanksgiving. And these two holidays frame up the two poles across a mindset spectrum to contextualize and understand the challenging year of 2020. This week, we explore a proper mental framework to approach and engage the last two months of the year 2020.

I discuss history, natural selection, and a resilience mindset and encourage all of us to take a proactive, positive approach to not only persist these challenging times but come through stronger than ever. It's not enough to just survive; we're here to thrive and take over.
