Would you like to experience smoother skin, fewer wrinkles and increased muscle mass?

How about reduced appetite, increased libido and deeper sleep with vivid dreams?

It all starts with re-populating your microbiome with the right kind of probiotics, specifically lactobacillus reuteri. And thanks to the work of one pioneering cardiologist, we're learning more and more about how to dramatically improve our gut health, sleep and even our outlook on life.

As long time listeners know, Dr. William Davis is a cardiologist, #1 New York Times best-selling author and health crusader whose best-selling books include the "Wheat Belly" series, "Undoctored," "Super Gut" and many more.

If you're worried about cholesterol or wondering how to repopulate your gut after a round of antibiotics, this show is for you. You're about to learn:

• How to repopulate your microbiome with good bacteria
• How to improve skin health, reduce wrinkles and rebuild cartilage in your knees and hips
• Why we should be eating the fat as well as more organ meats

Are you training for short-term results or for longevity? 

How can we train to not just avoid the hit, but to actually take the hit?

And most importantly, why deadlift when you can just get butt implants?

Today, I'm honored to be here with some of my heroes, Juliet and Kelly Starrett are co-founders of the Ready State and co-authors of the new book Built to Move. After decades of working with pro athletes, Olympians and Navy Seals, mobility pioneers, Kelly and Juliet Starrett wrote their new book to focus on long-term physical wellbeing for the rest of us mere mortals. 

As you'll hear on today's show, by rethinking your environment and working in easy, simple and enjoyable mobility exercises, we can train to be more durable now as well as later in life.

This is a fun one. On this show with Juliet and Kelly Starrett, we're chatting about:

• Why deadlifts are better than butt implants, despite what Instagram might tell you
• Why 5 to 10 minutes of daily mobility training compounds into huge wins over time
• How the white water rapids that flipped Kelly's raft eventually led to true love
• Why walking is prescribed to elite war fighters
• How to make stretching a fun pair bonding or family activity
• Why it's important to balance heavy lifts with mobility training

If you're not feeling and performing at your best, how do you identify exactly what's out of whack? 

When you're suffering from fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, depression, weight gain or disrupted sleep, tracking down the root cause can be nearly impossible on your own. 

And while the heavy-handed pharmaceutical approach can be useful for some conditions, a life sentence of taking drugs that just treat symptoms doesn't save the rest of your body from falling apart.

If you're looking for life-long health and quality of life, a supportive approach that identifies and treats the root cause and shifts your body into a healing state is essential.

So I'm pleased that joining us on the show today is Dr. Izabella Wentz, a New York Times bestselling author and integrative pharmacist, dedicated to finding the root causes of chronic health conditions. 

On this show with Dr. Izabella Wentz, we're talking about:

• How to restore balance in the body (especially for folks with Hashimoto's thyroid issues or auto-immune issues)
• How to adjust your diet to reduce inflammation
• Tips on optimizing your hormones
• The best exercises when you're wired and tired
• Why you should be filtering your water (this one is so important and so easy to overlook as well)
• How to use adaptogens to balance the stress response
• And a whole lot more…

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 is true or not. In the wrong hands, AI is a weapon of incredible power, and the dangers are very real.

But as you'll see from today's interview, there are many reasons to be optimistic about the potential for AI to dramatically improve our lives and our future.

So to bring some optimism to the conversation, I'm pleased to be here today with our friend, Matthew James Bailey, an expert on Artificial Intelligence, international speaker, founder of AIEthics.world, as well as author of the very timely book Inventing World 3.0.

This show with Matthew is a doozy. We're chatting about:

• How artificial intelligence can be used to benefit the human species, both individually and globally
• Why we should never outsource our sovereignty to a machine
• Why new fangled brain implants could result in brain shrinkage, loss of cognitive ability, and the deletion of biology
• How AI can help protect us from deep fakes and untruths (and the importance of authenticating our sources)
• Why it's important that we define the values, skills and knowledge we want to carry forward for future generations (as well as what we want to leave behind)
• Ways AI can work as a personal guardian and digital assistant to help us achieve new levels of wellbeing in the future
• How to use AI and technology as a tool to increase our creative capacity
• And tons more…

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.

In fact, it's lifestyle factors like nutrition, movement, mindset and our environment that truly control the way that our genes are expressed. These simple choices we make every day snowball to create vitality and longevity or ill health and disease depending on how you live your life.

So if you're interested in finding and treating the underlying causes of ill health instead of just chasing symptoms, this is the show for you.

I'm honored that joining me on the show today is Dr. Jeffrey Bland, a world-renowned Nutrition Medicine Expert, Clinical Biochemist, founder of Big Bold Health, and bestselling author often called the “Father of Functional Medicine.”

I think you're going to enjoy this one. We're talking about:

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 hunger, propelling you into a vicious cycle of overeating, crashing and feeling wobbly for the rest of the day, this is the show for you.

After teaching people how to make delicious food from scratch for many years, today's guest is starting a food revolution with her real food sauce and spice company, and she’s here to share unique insights into what exactly food manufacturers are hiding in widely available store-bought foods.

Returning to the show is the wonderful and talented Anna Vocino, a best-selling cookbook author, voice-over talent, stand-up comic and co-host of the Fitness Confidential podcast with our friend, Vinnie Tortorich. Anna has voiced thousands of commercials, cartoons, movies, promos, radio stations, and video games, which is her super cool day job to support her passion of food blogging and cookbook authoring.

In this conversation with Anna Vocino, we're chatting about:

• The surprising truth about what's NOT listed on ingredient labels
• Why the simplicity of “No Sugars, No Grains” works out so well for so many people
• Why we should buy from our local farmers as much as possible
• What continuous glucose monitoring experiments revealed about fried dry starches vs boiled starches
• Anna's homemade Magic Bullion recipe for a delicious, clean flavor-starter
• How to say “no” when robots try to take our jobs away (it's already happening)
• And tons more…

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 environment is simply out of alignment with our genetics, but there's plenty we can do to correct that imbalance.

And the good news is that it only takes a few minutes to calm your mind, find your center and get into that flow state where everything becomes effortless.

And to show us how, today, I'm honored to be here with Lee Holden, a doctor of Chinese medicine, author and internationally celebrated Qi Gong master who has devoted over 25+ years to helping others learn and benefit from the powerful principles of Qi Gong. Holden has taught his practice to the NFL, NHL, Olympic athletes, royal families, and even Adam Sandler.

This episode with Lee Holden is very packed and concentrated with information, I hope you dig it. You're about to hear:

• Why a relaxed state achieved through Qi Gong will help you shed fat more efficiently
• Tips for longevity and antiaging from a 106-year-old teacher
• How to balance our energy and escape the wired and tired cycle
• How athletes can easily tap into the flow state and bring their best energy to their sport
• Increasing productivity by scheduling 3-minute breathing breaks
• Why rest days are essential to peak performance in athletics
• How to recover with stress management practices that replenish your energy 
• And tons, tons more...

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 phone in your pocket or use your laptop on your lap?

We are the first humans ever to microwave our nether regions on a daily basis. That is no bueno.

So what effects do EMFs really have on our bodies?

The answer will raise a few eyebrows. And we have the perfect guest for you today.

We’re here with Justin Frandson, an author and Athleticism Performance Coach who has worked with amateur and professional athletes for over two decades. After watching his athletes’ health break down, Justin began to test clients in their homes for dirty technology and now works to help reduce EMF pollution for optimal health.

If you use a phone, have a WiFi router in your house, or any smart devices whatsoever, you’ll want to listen to this show. We’re talking about:

• Surprising ways artificial EMFs impact our health and what to do about it
• Tips for minimizing dirty electricity in your home
• Invisible stressors contributing to low testosterone and infertility
• The dangers of high tech green energy 
• Why you should never put your laptop on your lap
• Easy ways to save cell phone battery and avoid surveillance marketing at the same time
• And tons more…

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 intentionally distracting and demoralizing us, were actually used as a force for good?

Returning to the show this week is our friend Ben Azadi, a bestselling author, health coach, award-winning podcast host and founder of Keto Kamp.

In 2008, Ben went through a personal health transformation, shedding an incredible 80 pounds and completely transforming his health. Now he helps teach other people how to do exactly the same thing and live a healthier lifestyle. So I think you're going to like this one.

On this show with Ben Azadi, we're chatting about:

• How to maintain mental and physical health in a sea of censorship, disinformation and rage bait
• Tips for reprogramming your own patterns to be more in sync with natural rhythms
• One simple daily practice with proven results to reduce inflammation

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 something for you.

There's a magic as well as a host of health benefits to the ancient low-cost methods of fermenting our foods.

So, what is the difference between homemade and store-bought? Well, it gets a little bit into the weeds. But thankfully, today we're here with a specialist.

Joining us on the show is our dear friend, the wonderful and talented Tammy Brill, a noted scientist and educator in the field of gut health and fermented foods. After nearly 30 years of teaching as a microbiology instructor and university lab supervisor for biology and chemistry labs, Tammy shifted gears to become a health coach and master fermenter.

Tammy is a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and an entrepreneur who started Fermented Delights, bringing homemade fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, kvass, and more to farmers markets all around Pennsylvania.

On this show with Tammy Brill, we are chatting about:

• What happened when Tammy had her microbiology class look at homemade yogurt and cafeteria yogurt under the microscope
• Tips about longevity for your pets (coming from someone who has a 23-year-old cat and two 13-year-old dogs)
• A healthy food swap when you're stressed and want something crunchy
• Beginner-friendly fermented foods
• The gut-brain connection
• And much more…

You can find Tammy Brill on her website FermentedDelightsAndMore.com. Be sure to check the "Where To Buy" page for details on where you can find an assortment of her homemade fermented foods.

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 Man for a while, you may have come across a post or two about my dog, Bailey the Labrador retriever, who has miraculously survived many near death experiences, including getting hit by a car, falling off a small cliff, stung by a scorpion, bit in the face by a rattler, and several mild to major poisonings of various kinds. But like a cat, she continues to survive.

We’ve attributed her miraculous resistance to injury over the years to the way that she's been fed, an extremely nutrient-dense diet.

And today's guest was actually very influential in the way that we started feeding our dog over 10 years ago now.

We are here with Dr. Ian Billinghurst, a veterinary surgeon with over 40 years of experience. He's also a nutritionist, acupuncturist, agricultural scientist, lecturer, nutritional consultant, raw pet food producer, and author of multiple excellent books, including The BARF Diet.

Whether you have pets or not, I hope this show is very helpful to you. We're chatting about:

• Strange similarities between human health and the health of our pets
• Things doctors and veterinarians are paid not to know
• What a biologically appropriate diet for our pets really looks like
• Why you should give your dog a bone
• How to avoid cancer in dogs and cats
• And tons more…

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 with Melissa Boloña, an actress and entrepreneur who created Beauty & the Broth.

We're chatting about:

• Why a good broth can raise the dead
• How a good old-fashioned bone broth is different from modern cubes of concentrated salt and MSG
• How to get the benefits of bone broth without spending days prepping and cooking
• Why couch co-op video games can actually be good for relationships
•  And much more…

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 us on the show today is the perfect guest to help you work exercise into your busy life. Adam Sedlack is a fitness industry veteran with more than 3 decades of leadership expertise, and the president and cofounder of UFC Gym. 

In this show, we're chatting about:

• Why 75% of people aren't exercising regularly and what to do about it
• Recovery tools that hook people on fitness
• How UFC Gyms are different from Fight Club
• The importance of defining your why and finding your personal fight 
• And tons more…
