Ben’s sports performance training career started after this, where he now trains athletes of all levels at Athletic Truth Group gym and through his online training services.  Ben’s system has brought a great many athletes out of pain, and is getting notoriety from many world-class trainers and athletes.   Time Stamps: 0:08:35 Podcast begins 0:09:15 What does Ben look for in athletes? 0:16:50 What Google says is realty.. but that doesn't mean it is true 0:19:00 We can all have world-class athletics 0:27:15 The nordic curl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NCN6kOagfY 0:37:05 The first thing Ben would recommend people starting with: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNS_QjGAs_k 0:39:20 Working from the ground up for knee pain 0:44:05 How does Ben train the big toe? 0:45:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8blFT4db-KA 0:46:25 The split squat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0FwSWd2_IY 0:50:35 It's more natural to walk or sprint 0:56:35 The heal-striking motor pattern for running 1:04:15 The epidemic of autoimmune conditions 1:05:50 Humans can probably regrow cartilage  1:12:35 Does Ben get a lot of pushback? 1:15:35 Food beliefs have become identity for many people 1:20:40 Ben's experience eating animal-based for the past month 1:30:55 Does Ben consume organs? 1:35:35 When you focus on food quality over quantity, you can eat much more 1:45:15 Closing thoughts with Ben   Sponsors: Heart & Soil: www.heartandsoil.co  - Her Package is available now!

The debate between plant-based and animal-based eating was over 2 million years ago with the extinction of Paranthropus robustus...   Hear this story and a bit of mine in this week's edition of Controversial Thoughts, my Friday rant/monologue podcast on Fundamental Health.   The simple takeaway here is that 75% of omnivorous species lean heavily toward either plant or animal consumption as the majority of their diet.    I would argue that humans are not omnivore generalists but specialist omnivores adapted to eat an #animalbased diet...   Meat and organs have been at the center of evolution as Hominids for over 2 million years...   Eating meat and organs made us human!    And if you ask the Hadza what their favorite food is, they will tell you "Meat" in a split second! Their entire existence revolves around hunting...   So yes, CarnivoreMD is a proud #animal-based omnivore who hails from a long lineage of humans who have lived and died by their ability to hunt and eat animal foods above all other sources of food.    #theremembering

Driven by nature, Donnie has consistently let the outdoors and his passion for adventure be the compass for his life. The wide open expanses of the world’s most remote territories dominate his thoughts and conversations. Deep in the heart of the wildest of terrain is where Donnie thrives. On his expeditions into remote wilds, in the lands where seemingly no one lives, he finds a wilderness and peacefulness that is all his own. The premier example of explorer, biologist, conservationist, and sportsman, Donnie takes a wider view of the topics he tackles while in the field, because to him, this is all a story worth telling. A story of ancestral heritage, native respect and the desire to live strongly, empowering us all to open our minds to the bigger picture and inspiring us to find our own adventure.    Time Stamps: 0:08:30 Podcast begins 0:09:40 The story of Steve 0:15:30 What is it like to hunt for multiple days on end? 0:20:15 Being in the wilderness for long periods of time is engraved in our DNA 0:27:30 You will die one day.. so what is the quality of your lifespan? 0:31:30 What is Donnie's diet like, and does he eat organ meat? 0:39:55 The wolves Donnie has encountered  0:50:10 Has Donnie ever been hunted by an animal? 0:53:00 Donnie's story and how he started hunting 1:02:15 The effects taking Heart & Soil supplements 1:03:30 What hunts does Donnie have in the near future? 1:07:00 Donnie's experience in Alaska 1:18:05 Where to find more of Donnie's work 1:19:05 Will Donnie and I go hunting in the future? 1:20:45 Why are most people uncomfortable with hunting?

I ate bananas with my steak and liver after I filmed this! Lots of people love to hate on fructose, but is this molecule really harmful for humans when found in fruit and honey? You know, foods that we've been eating for millions of years and foods that the Hadza and other hunter/gatherer groups around the world LOVE and seek out? Find out in this week's episode of Controversial Thoughts! Cleansed of all controversial CX V i D related talk for the instagram droid's pleasure. Take home: There's zero evidence that fructose in honey and fruit is harmful for humans. If you feel better on a diet without them, more power to you. But if you are one of the many individuals who benefit (electrolytes, energy, sleep, libido, etc.) from including carbohydrates in your diet, I say eat them from the least toxic plant foods! Don't know what the least toxic plant foods are? You'll love what we are doing at @heartandsoilsupplements this month with our #AnimalBased30! It's free and there are a ton of resources for you!

Harvard did a 75 year study of men looking at factors correlating with health. What was the greatest predictor? Community! The first ever #animalbased gathering just wrapped up here in Costa Rica, and I couldn't NOT talk about it in this week's edition of Controversial Thoughts! It would be a huge understatement to say that the gathering was a success, it was simply incredible. Having nearly 100 people here in Costa Rica from all over the world who are interested in #theremembering of where we have come from as humans... We surfed, ate meat and liver, drank coconuts, swam in the ocean, jumped off of waterfalls, sailed, saw whales, hiked, explored, danced, and watched amazing sunsets. There will be another one for sure- next year, likely in February. We are building the #animalbased tribe in a big way! If you want to be a part of it, email us at radicalhealth@heartandsoil.co and join us for our #AnimalBased30 next month @heartandsoilsupplements.

This one is easy, the answer is no!    In this week's controversial thoughts video I break this down and provide multiple interventional studies that corroborate my position.   Diets up to 3.3g/kg have been studied and do not show any adverse events on kidney function. Why would they?    We know from the anthropology literature that hunter-gatherer groups like the Hadza (who I visited earlier this year) and the !kung San often eat up to 4.5 lbs of meat per day when a large game animal has been successfully hunted.    Curious about an #animalbased diet? Join us this August @heartandsoilsupplements for our next #AnimalBased30, a 30 day challenge to eat an #animalbased diet and kick lots of ass. Take the pledge at www.animalbased30.com.    PS this video also contains a study about the utility of vaccination in those previously infected with COVID.    #theremembering
