175. AMA: Glyphosate, Sunning your balls, and APOE4

Short answer: yes!   Just because your blood calcium levels are within normal doesn’t mean you don’t need calcium in your diet.   How can you get this? If you tolerate dairy that’s a good option, but for most, I believe calcium from bones as MCHA (microcrystalline hydroxyapatite) is the best option.    That’s why we made our Bone Matrix supplement at Heart & Soil.     In this video, I discuss evidence for benefits of MCHA, if you should worry about calcium and heart attacks, and a bunch more.    Do you have a calcium source in your diet? If not, you need to check out this video and get your learn on!   For those wondering, the Hadza do eat the ends of bones from birds and small animals like Galagos, as well as breaking bones open to suck out the marrow.  #theremembering   -- Heart & Soil: http://heartandsoil.co

It’s good to be back in the US. My trip to Tanzania to hunt with the Hadza was amazing, and the meals I shared with them were incredible… The meat we had hunted in the bush earlier that day, along with honey and baobab we had found along the way- truly radical… Ironically, It was much harder to always get good food in “civilization” and this was the hardest part of the trip… In this edition of Controversial Thoughts, I share a bit about these struggles and the “creep” of processed foods into our food supply, making it difficult to obtain really good food unless we are very intentional about what we are eating! #theremembering If you’re not subscribed to my newsletter, you are missing out!

His indigenous name comes from a Crow Sun Dance chief. His spiritual lineage is derived from 6 years of mentorship from a Muskogee/Creek medicine man named Will "Star Heart".

I thought it would be appropriate to do this week's Controversial Thoughts video on how I eat #AnimalBased while traveling... I brought all the necessities: stainless steel skillet, induction burner, a jar of liver (yes that is correct... Jar. Of. Liver.), and I've got a bunch of desiccated organ supplements from @heartandsoilsupplements for the rest of the trip including Beef Organs, Gut & Digestion, and Histamine & Immune... Africa, here I come! #theremembering

I got COVID, and it’s been very mild.  I believe this is because I am metabolically healthy and the data supports this conclusion. And yet, the media isn’t speaking about this. Madness!
