Almond milk seems to be all the rage right now, but is this stuff really something we should be consuming or feeding to our children? Heck no! In this week's episode of Controversial Thoughts (the Friday installment of my podcast, Fundamental Health), I talk about the multiple reasons why nut milks are horrendous... Carrageenan (worsens diabetes?!) and oxalates are the two big issues I cover in this video, but there are many reasons to leave seeds (seeds, nuts, grain, legumes are all seeds!) out of your diet and go #AnimalBased." Notably, I don't even go into the fact that Almonds use a HUGE amount of water and are an abysmal way for us to use this resource in farming... And no, cows don't use a ton of water- those stats you've heard don't account for the rainwater that would have fallen on the land anyway. This is a post for another day! Leave out seeds, and leafy greens. Focus on animal organs and meat (@heartandsoilsupplements) and the least toxic plant foods, and thrive! #theremembering

Georges St-Pierre is a Canadian former professional mixed martial artist. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest fighters in MMA history. GSP was a two-division champion in the UFC, having won titles in the welterweight and middleweight divisions. GSP is a three-time former UFC Welterweight Champion, having won the title twice and the interim title once between November 2006 and April 2008. Fight Matrix lists him as the top MMA welterweight of all time and most accomplished fighter in MMA history. GSP retired as the reigning Welterweight Champion in December 2013, having held the record for most wins in title bouts and the second longest combined title streak in UFC history (2,204 days) while defending his title nine consecutive times. He returned to the Octagon in November 2017 at UFC 217, when he defeated Michael Bisping by submission to win the Middleweight title, thus becoming the fourth fighter in the history of the UFC to be a multi-division champion.

Over the last month that @georgesstpierre has been doing an #AnimalBased diet and thriving (podcast coming next Tuesday!) I've gotten lots of questions about how to eat this way for performance.   It's easy to use this way of eating to optimize for explosiveness, power, strength, and muscle growth.    Find out how in this episode of Controversial Thoughts (episodes of my podcast drop Tuesday and Fridays)   #theremembering

Am I running from the law, or just exploring a slightly different way of life?    Find out in this week's episode of Controversial Thoughts!   You'll hear about how I discovered Santa Teresa, and why this place has allowed me to live out my own version of #theremembering in a unique way...   Want to hang out with me and a bunch of other #animalbased folks here? I'm organizing an #animalbased gathering down here July 23rd-26th. There will definitely be lots of organs, meat, beach volleyball, surfing, swimming, frisbee, sun, and community- all of the things that help us remember who we are as humans and where we've come from!   Stay tuned for more details about how to sign up (it will be free)!   #theremembering
