Hey there friends, hope everyone is well. I'm on a vitamin D roll over here with another great guest talking about how it is a central part of almost every system in our body, including (and maybe most importantly these days) our immune system. Again I want to stress that D is not a vitamin, but a pre-hormone. I know talking about vitamins can make many people's eyes glaze over. I am kind of one of these people actually. I think we can get all the vitamins and minerals we need from the food we eat and if we're eating an ancestral, nutrient dense diet then we don't need to supplement or worry about this kind of thing. But vitamin D is different. Just like our bodies expect ancestral foods, we also expect an ancestral environment. Humans lived outdoors for all of history. Is it surprising at all that when we live and work indoors for the vast majority of the day this might not be ideal? This interview also covers the link between vitamin D and the coronavirus. This is very striking and we go into even more studies and correlations on this. Tying this all together, we get into the efficacy of the lockdown. Ivor has been tracking this data for the last couple months. Nobody is minimizing the tragic deaths or saying the lockdown didn't help in many ways, but maybe there is a smarter way to do "smart distancing" instead of blanket mandates for everyone in the country. Maybe forcing people to be locked in their homes might actually weaken their immune system. Maybe it would have been better for people to get sunlight and vitamin D this entire time considering we have good data showing the virus isn't really transmitted outdoors. Maybe there are many unintended deaths from these lockdown measures. Maybe there was a different way to go about things once we initially reacted. These are all interesting questions and it's great to live in the United States where you are free to ask these questions. Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP completed a Biochemical Engineering degree in 1990. He has since spent over 25 years in corporate technical leadership and management positions. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity. Since 2012 Ivor has been intensively researching the root causes of modern chronic disease. A particular focus has been on cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. He shares his research insights at public speaking engagements around the world, revealing the key nutritional and lifestyle interventions which will deliver excellent health and personal productivity. He has recently presented on heart disease primary root causes at the British Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation (BACPR). He has also debated Irish Professors of Medicine on stage, at the annual conference of the Irish National Institute of Preventive Cardiology (NIPC). Before we start I'll just mention a few other things. If you're new to this podcast I'd start at episode 1. It's best to experience the whole journey and soak up the valuable information from each hand-picked guest. You also should know about http://NoseToTail.org where we deliver grass finished, sustainably raised beef, buffalo, lamb as well as our one-of-a-kind high omega 3 pork and chicken. This is special stuff that is not only beyond organic and humanely raised, but is fed a special diet so that the meat has an extremely high omega 3 to omega 6 ratio. It's in high demand so we can only sell the bacon 1 package at a time. Our other signature product is the primal ground beef with liver, heart, kidney, and spleen mixed. Very tasty stuff. I've seen and heard of so many kids chowing down on this stuff and enjoying it immensely. They don't mind the organ taste at all and I think have an intuitive sense for the superior nutrition it provides. That's my company so you can get your meat there and support me (in a small way) and our ranch in Texas. You can also support the Food Lies film on http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post by clicking through http://FoodLies.org - we still are taking preorders and have the Eat Meat shirts there. We are in the last steps of getting the film finished but still need your help.

Hello, hello! What a beautiful day it is to be alive and well. I hope everyone is getting outside and getting some sun each day if they live someplace where that is possible. If not, at least getting outdoors and getting some exercise will have a ton of other benefits. Today's podcast is all about vitamin D and how it relates to human health and the immune system. Living a healthy lifestyle, avoiding metabolic disease, eating nutrient dense animal foods, and getting responsible sunlight all play into your vitamin D status. Even some supplementation can be sometimes very necessary and beneficial. I posted another great study out of Indonesia on the correlations between vitamin D status and deaths from COVID-19. They are very striking and everyone should check them out on social media on my Food Lies accounts. Just search for "Food Lies" on any platform. I've been talking to Joel about this vitamin D stuff for about a year now and have been tracking it over the past 6 weeks during the Coronavirus pandemic. We've been trading information and it was good to see that some good data has finally been coming out. I kept mentioning getting outside and getting sun exposure but didn't want to post anything definitive until the science was clear. I think we're getting to that point now with multiple studies from multiple countries. Even Dr. Gary has been reporting extremely low levels in all his patients who are having bad cases of COVID. I'd also like to point out that the logo for my company Sapien is a sun. I couldn't think of a better representation of everything that represents healthy humans. Dr. Joel Gould is a dentist with 30 years of experience in Canada and the United States. He is on the forefront of revolutionizing modern dental approaches by furthering his knowledge on science, technology, and the human body. He has been featured for his innovative work on network TV such FOX, NBC, ABC, and CBS. He launched His unique "Sleep Restoration" program in 2016, focusing on organic, non pharmaceutical solutions for insomnia and sleep apnea. Dr. Gould's new book The Modern Epidemic set to be released this summer lays out a new health paradigm based on sleep and breathing, and natural regeneration, founded on ancestral health, and evolution. Before we jump in I want to make sure everyone knows about http://NoseToTail.org where we ship 100% grass finished beef and buffalo, and high omega-3 pork and chicken to your door. This is all raised beyond organic in Texas. Our primal ground beef with liver, heart, kidney, and spleen is flying out the door these days. Get while you can, we only process animals every 2 weeks. There's so many nutrients in this tasty ground beef that are hard to get otherwise. You can make a custom box at http://nosetotail.org and get free shipping if it's 20lbs or more. You can also support this podcast and everything else I do at http://patreon.com/peakhuman I've been able to scrape by without taking on any advertisers or outside money for any of my ventures so far and really want to keep it that way. The Food Lies film, the Food Lies youtube channel, and all my social media is powered all by the community. I have yet to take a cent from another company.

Hello, hello my healthy friends! Here's some news for you - I don't have Sars-CoV-2. I did the antibody test at Evolve Healthcare with Dr. Gary who co-founded Sapien with me. He has some tests if anyone is nearby. I just did it because I was curious. I haven't felt the slightest bit bad or even coughed yet in 2020 so it's not because I had any symptoms. Still doing my living room workouts and sprinting 5 days per week and eating nose to tail. You can get your own official http://nosetotail.org grass finished, American raised, beyond organic meat at http://nosetotail.org We actually have a bit left this week. Usually we sell out by Tuesday night but you can still order if you get a jump on it. It's the best way to support food producers directly. I'm sure people have heard about processing middlemen jacking up prices and disrupting the supply chain to grocery stores. I've still seen grocery store shelves empty all while meat sold by producers is at bargain basement price. It's messed up. Support your local farms or get it online from us and we'll ship it straight to you. The primal ground beef is the best seller and it includes liver, heart, kidney, and spleen making it a true superfood. Stay in touch by getting on the newsletter at http://Sapien.org there will be some special content given out there. There's also a bunch of special content for Patreon supporters at http://patreon.com/peakhuman Remember this is a community powered show and if you're getting value from this podcast and have gotten healthier or lost some weight, maybe you can put a little wind in the sail to keep this boat goin!

He and his team organize free monthly diet seminars at the Searcy Auditorium of the Clear Lake Hospital that receives more than 100 visitors. All of his work and presentations are fantastic - please check them out on youtube. Until then you can get to know him a bit in our 2 hour interview.

Hey everyone out there in quarantine land, how's everyone doing? Hopefully you're holding strong and eating nutrient dense Sapien foods instead of ordering takeout. And going for walks in the sun and doing workouts in your living room. This is exactly what I've been doing and have been feeling better than ever. I talked to Dr. Sean O'mara about so many interesting things during this interview we decided to cut it off and do another in the near future. We ended up not doing this immediately so please reach out to me on social media and let me know what questions or other topics you'd like us to address when we do our follow-up episode. His work with measuring visceral fat with MRI is so important. This is such a huge thing that people are missing, even in the health community. It's a relatively new concept and technology and is pretty costly, so it makes sense. But this is one of the huge ways to not only prove a calorie is not a calorie, but also really see someone's true health status. I won't go on because there's too many interesting things to bring up - better to just listen to the episode. Dr. Sean is very in tune with everything I've learned over the past 5 years and I hope to work with him in the future and get him into the Sapien organization. Here are a few updates before we begin. http://NoseToTail.org is in high demand right now and we don't have a ton of inventory, so jump on it while you can. You can still order this week if you're close to our ranch in Texas. If not, check the site over the weekend and get your order in so we can ship it Monday. Our most popular product is the primal and primal lite ground beef that has liver, kidney, heart, and spleen mixed in for the most nutritious burger patty in the game. We also have pork and chicken that is fed a special diet to make their meat ultra high in omega 3 compared to omega 6. As you've been learning through all these great experts on this podcast, a high ratio of omega 6 in your diet and all these pufas that are so ubiquitous these days is one of the biggest factors in chronic disease. So get the good stuff delivered straight to your door at http://NoseToTail.org Become a show producer on Patreon at http://patreon.com/peakhuman Supporters here are making this show possible. I'll continue to turn down advertisers if we can continue to power the show with the community. You get the extended show notes, the other unlisted video content, and soon to be more perks by being a supporter on http://patreon.com/peakhuman Other than that you can share with a friend, give it a review on the podcast app or iTunes, and make sure to start back at episode 1. It really makes me happy to hear people's stories of starting from the beginning and learning more than most doctors and nutritionists know by the end. Especially when they implement it into their lives and have universally great results. How could you not? We're talking about a Spaien diet here. This is how humans should eat.

Hello again my friends, hope you continue to stay healthy and sane in these tumultuous times. I did another livestream with a health professional and just uploaded it to youtube. This time it was with an ICU nurse working in the COVID unit in a hospital in the downtown LA area. This goes along with my posts on social media where I made an inquiry for anecdotes of super healthy individuals getting severe cases and ending up in the hospital. I had a lot of interesting comments from that post, including people accusing me of one thing or another. I don't know where they're getting any malicious ideas from. I actually really want to know if there are people in our health community experiencing severe cases. So far I have heard of none. People mentioned 2 Spanish soccer players who seemed healthy and there were 2 reports of people in their 40s where the commenter assumed they were healthy. I still haven't heard of anyone who actively focuses on their health and actually engages in healthy lifestyle behaviors on a daily basis dying or going to the ICU. I only hear about people eating a Standard American Diet who aren't yet diagnosed with an actual disease. I want to prove myself wrong here. I don't want to be lulled into a false sense of security. But so far it seems that the supposedly "healthy" people ending up in the ICU are 40+ obese males. My nurse friend Rylee confirmed this in our livestream in her limited sample set, and everything that people sent me seemed to confirm this as well. There were reports of thin people getting it, I'll admit. But this spurs the discussion - are thin people always healthy? NO way! Many commenters even expounded on this telling stories of how messed up they were healthwise even when outwardly they looked in shape. So I'm not saying just because you're overweight you're unhealthy or just because you're thin you're healthy. I'm also not saying you're going to avoid a severe COVID case just because you are healthy. There was one anecdote of a healthy person on a low carb diet who qualified for a major triathlon. I don't know much more about his diet or health status other than someone reporting this, but I won't sweep it under the rug. There's always outliers here. We don't know everything about this virus obviously and I'm by no means the expert. I'm just trying to get people to focus on the thing they DEFINITELY have control of in these crazy times - their own health. Focus down on keeping yourself metabolically healthy, do home workouts, and keep your nutrient density super high with every meal! Get some fresh air and some sun, stay positive, and have some control in your life by doing these things. Enough out of me, let's get to the episode. Dr. Chris Knobbe is an esteemed eye physician and surgeon in Boulder, Colorado and currently leads the Cure AMD Foundation. Cure AMD Foundation seeks to spread the message regarding his research that AMD (Age-related macular degeneration) is caused by "Westernization of the diet". Luckily, he has a theory that macular degeneration, which is the leading cause of irreversible vision loss and blindness, is not only preventable but also treatable with the implementation of an ancestral diet. He came to this conclusion when he left his full-time practice to commit his time to numerous years of full-time investigative research on nutrition. He now shares his breakthrough findings on this and the harms of industrial seed oils through presentations across the country as well as scientific papers and books. You can learn more at cureamd.org He did an amazing presentation in Denver recently and has really brought a lot of new information to the table when it comes to the industrial seed oils being the root of all evil! I'm not even exaggerating that much. Populations can be healthy on almost any diet on the planet until the high omega 6 seed oils come into the picture. These go along with processed foods of course, and the refined grains and sugar. But maybe the seed oils are the real X factor. Long time listeners will be familiar with this concept from episode 20 with Tucker Goodrich who did an eye opening interview on this same topic. Go back and check this one out and make sure to start at episode 1 to get the full download of all this super valuable health info. So make sure to balance your omega 3s to omega 6s and definitely don't eat oxidized vegetable oils which are even worse - the ones they use in deep fryers that are reused and kept at super high temperatures. You can get super high omega 3 to omega 6 ratio pork and chicken at http://nosetotail.org We have a bit left and will be restocking friday. Pork and chicken have gotten a bad rap in our health community, and rightly so, because they are usually super high in omega 6 compared to omega 3. At Nose to Tail we feed our animals a special (and expensive) diet that's super high in omega 3 which makes the meat have an unmatched omega 3 content. Our beef also has a great ratio, as does all beef that's solely grass fed and finished. Get all the organ meats mixed in as well with our primal ground beef.

Hey everyone, we got a special episode here. My friend Dr. Lina Miyakawa is with us today live from New York City. She's a pulmonary ICU specialist and is treating coronavirus cases in Mt. Sinai hospital in Manhattan. She went to NYU for her undergraduate degree, received her medical degree from John A. Burns School of Medicine at University of Hawaii, completed her Internal Medicine residency training at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center, affiliated with Stanford University in California and her specialty fellowship training in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Mount Sinai Beth Israel in New York City. Let's get straight to the episode - I think it's really interesting to get to hear this inside scoop from someone dealing with this on the front lines. She's been working nonstop treating patients and spared a few minutes to talk with me. Just to give you an idea of what we're dealing with, she had to cancel our interview yesterday because she lost another patient. If you're new to this show make sure to start back at episode 1. I've spent the last 2 years finding the brightest minds in the world to interview and people continually report how life changing the information presented has been for them. Here's Dr. Lina.
