Part 11 - Lierre Keith on the Moral, Nutritional, and Environmental Superiority of Eating Meat

We jump in the weeds pretty quick but it gets better as it goes on. This is an interesting one with a scientist who's studying mice and looking at how different fats affect disease. Kyle was on a mission to find "the perfect diet." He was raw vegan and moved to raw meat and organs. He thinks a big problem is the high PUFAs in our diet and unnatural iron from fortified grains. He also has some ideas for people who have been on very low carb or carnivore diets and have problems like being cold, waking up in the night, women losing their period, or thyroid problems. Please listen to this one with an open mind! Kyle J. Mamounis, has a doctoral degree in nutritional science from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey USA. He is currently a researcher at University of Central Florida in Orlando. His primary research interest is investigating the effects of fatty acids on energy balance regulation. He maintains a science blog with posts on his research interests, reviews of science magazine articles and general cellular physiology at www.nutricrinology.com GET THE MEAT! http://NosetoTail.org GET THE FREE SAPIEN FOOD GUIDE! http://Sapien.org SHOW NOTES [0:30] His educational background.

Welcome back everyone! I'm Brian Sanders and this is Peak Human - the podcast where you start back at episode 1! I met Ben at our Toronto MeatUp in 2019 and really like him - maybe it's because he eats pretty similar to how I do - 2 Sapien meals per day of mostly animal foods and low anti-nutrient plant foods on the side. Seriously though he's really great and has an awesome mindset on pretty much everything. Goes way beyond building muscle - which is important for absolutely everyone listening. It's not about being a bodybuilder and we don't talk much about that - it's about effectively doing some kind of workout to carry some lean muscle mass which everyone needs and will benefit them as they age. His info is legit - I already have been getting a better workout since we recorded this episode last week. I took some of his advice and went slower, stayed under control and focused on the muscles I was trying to work and was sore the next for the first time. Gyms are still closed in LA so all I have is my living room yet I was still able to train my muscles hard in my little 15 min routine I do. We actually talk way more about the mental side to diet, health, and living a meaningful life. This really was a great episode that touched on so many important topics that haven't been explored with previous guests. Check out our new product - Droewors (air-dried sausage) with liver and heart https://www.nosetotail.org/product/traditional-droewors-with-liver-heart-air-dried-beef-sausage-with-organs/ We also now have Nose to Tail artwork https://www.nosetotail.org/art/ GET THE FREE SAPIEN FOOD GUIDE! http://Sapien.org SHOW NOTES [5:10] Focus on what you can control. [9:40] Get comfortable being uncomfortable. [16:20] His backstory and how he got to where he is now. [24:10] How much do genetics have to do with building muscle? [29:25] 3 genetic traits that help you build muscle. [32:10] The importance of challenging your muscles and obtaining skill acquisition. [42:40] His tips on training at home. [47:40] Cardio, aerobic systems, and burning fat. [52:10] Breathwork. [56:10] Carbohydrates and stress. [1:02:10] His current diet and nutrition. [1:04:00] Bro split vs full body for workouts, crossfit, drop sets, and muscle confusion. [1:08:40] Gut health and choice of plant foods. [1:10:40] Other lifestyle factors that might be preventing you from living your best life. [1:14:00] Closing thoughts and words from Ben.

Welcome back to show everyone, I hope everyone is doing well, and I hope everyone is starting back at episode 1 to make sure to catch all the great info. This is supposed to be an audio series on health & nutrition as well as lifestyle and it unfolds live over the past 112 episodes. I don't have sponsors so I don't have any other motivations to do this podcast other than to provide valuable information that I believe in. Each guest is purposefully picked and researched and adds another piece to the endless puzzle of human health. Today I'm talking with my friend Judy Cho who I've been following for a long time on Instagram and has done a great job of providing people with easy to understand animal-based health information. She is a nutritional therapy practitioner and the author of Carnivore Cure. Judy holds a Psychology and Communications degree from the University of California, Berkeley. Judy has a holistic health private practice and works with clients by focusing on the root cause for an array of health challenges. Together, they work to create individualized solutions that are sustainable for the long term. She lives in Austin and will be part of our growing Sapien community there. We start off with some mask and covid talk, so I want to put out a trigger warning for sensitive viewers who don't want to hear differing opinions than the ones on mainstream media. For the first time that I'm aware of a guest talks about vaccines. I don't like to touch the subject but it was nice to hear some thoughts on this from someone who's balanced and considers both sides.

This interview has been a long time coming. I've always loved everything Robb has been doing over the years. He's been doing great work in this space far before I had a clue about health. It was a treat to dive deep with him on a variety of topics including censorship, the importance of the free share of ideas, germ vs. terrain theories, carnivore, protein & lifespan, seafood & human development, seed oils, electrolytes, and a lot more. It's a very different episode than any of his recent interviews so I definitely wouldn't miss this one! Everyone listening should already know who he is, but it doesn't hurt to read over a quick bio: Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist is the 2X New York Times/WSJ Best Selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat. Robb has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world via his top ranked iTunes podcast, books and seminars. He is the co-creator of the Sacred Cow film and book as well. Robb has functioned as a review editor for the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism (Biomed Central) and as a consultant for the Naval Special Warfare Resiliency program. He serves on the board of Directors/Advisors for: Specialty Health Inc, The Chickasaw Nation's "Unconquered Life" initiative and a number of innovative start ups with a focus on health and sustainability.

Hello, hello everyone, it's time for another great guest on the Peak Human podcast. I'm Brian Sanders the founder of Sapien.org, NoseToTail.org, and creator of the Food Lies film that I continue to work on daily while I do these podcasts and post daily on social media. You can check out clips from the Food Lies film interviews and other presentations I've done on the Food Lies youtube channel. Today I'm talking to the great Michael Crawford, PhD. He is a storied researcher and has contributed a lot to our knowledge on brain development, human evolution, and marine foods high in DHA. I think the meat crowd needs to rally behind seafood a bit more and recognize its unique nutrients. He's a sharp guy for an older fella and there's a lot to learn in this one! Dr. Michael Crawford is a professor and researcher at the Imperial College of London. He is part of the Faculty of Medicine, Department of Metabolism, Digestion, and Reproduction. He is the Director of the Institute of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition, Founder Trustee of The Mother and Child Foundation and The Little Foundation. His research focuses on (i) the biological reason why docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) has been so unique in neural signaling for the past 500-600 million years of evolution (ii) application of the knowledge to prevent and treat neurodevelopmental disorder. To date we have organised 22 international conferences on nutrition, brain development and mental health. He also has an impressive list of publications I'll link to in the show notes.
