Robb Wolf, the world-renowned nutrition and health expert - known for his bestselling books, top-ranked Podcast, and lectures - joins us to unpack the complexity of deciding what and how to feed the human population. Robb with his former career as a research biochemist, a curious mind, complex problem solving skills and strong debating capability, is wired to getting scientific and deep on big macro issues. He’s known for his direct approach and ability to distill and synthesise information to make the complicated stuff easier to understand. So, in this episode we take a run at discussing a complicated, thorny and ideologically charged topic - the globalist and technocratic propaganda around food production, food technology, and dietary choices. This discussion cannot be condensed into a social media soundbite - it needs searching questions, deep reflections, and a deep awareness of the multi-layered complex web of nutrition and ecology.   Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/156-robb-wolf-the-globalist-food-agenda   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (10% off coupon OWNIT-2021)   Where to find ROBB WOLF and his work: ▪︎ NEW Book - Sacred Cow ▪︎ Website - https://robbwolf.com ▪︎ Podcast - The Healthy Rebellion ▪︎ Books - Wired To Eat & The Paleo Solution ▪︎ LMNT Electrolytes   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: ▪︎ The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey ▪︎ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content ▪︎ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import ▪︎ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking ▪︎ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

#156: Shattering Health Paradigms with Meat-Based Nutrition ~Judy Cho

Judy Cho is a nutritional therapy practitioner, nutritional author, and prolific producer of evidence-based nutritional content online. This intelligent women values family, bio-individual health, honest science, and a return to clean ancestrally-consistent nutritional choices. She's comfortable with complexity, but delivers compelling simplicity. The evidence, science, observations and her own personal experience has landed her on a meat-based diet, with her Instagram and Book focusing on what she calls a Carnivore Diet. Be prepared in this episode for your nutritional paradigms to be challenged, if not shattered! In this episode we unpack Judy's 12 year commitment to a plant-based way of eating, and the mental health and disordered eating issues she grappled with throughout - just thinking she was broken and weak. We dig into these issues, the therapy and medication approaches offered - all the while having our failing diet praised by doctors. We talk about Judy's leap into the unknown and scary - dropping the plants and going completely meat-based - i.e. a Carnivore Diet - and why after three years she is such a strong advocate for this way of eating. Being completely healed of her mental health and disordered eating battles, Judy helps us understand why scientifically  she is now thriving. We define what she was eating before, and what exactly is involved in her Carnivore diet. We explore diabetes, gut issues, sugar addiction, hormonal and neurotransmitter issues, brain energy dysfunction,  and why a carnivore diet can be a powerful tool to heal chronic deficiency and inflammation. We touch on traditional nutritional wisdom, the problems with modern plants and our consumption patterns, and the role of meat and plants in the human diet. And loads loads more....   FYI: This episode makes up a comprehensive and diverse collection of great interviews where we challenge the modern nutritional norms with this idea more meat and less plants s likely a healthier outcome for humans.

Ivor Cummins joins us for a part 3 in early Jan 2021 on the COVID response and narrative - this time with a stronger emphasis on the human struggle and emotions associated with being cognitively and societally isolated. This episode is more of a thinking and emphasising discussion, whilst still keeping a firm hand on the technical aspects that people need to hear. Philosophical, empathic, principles and emotional connection. This is a side of Ivor that people don't see as much. His passion for history, his warrior-like strength of character, and his capacity to emphasise with those that are struggling with being a lone wolf  in this fight of honesty vs hysteria. I suspect a lot of people will be able to relate to the struggles discussed here, and may well find strength and/or acceptance in being part of this much needed discussion. We chat about how Ivor is coping, where he finds his motivation and strength, how he manages his bias, and the painful reality for many with of being ostracised. Not just problems - we also touch on some sound advice on how to navigate this time. We talk about some country COVID specifics and do a big deep dive into the UK winter resurgence / second wave situation. Did Ivor get it wrong? What data and signals do we need to track? How would Ivor characterise what we are seeing? The UK Hospital Pressure. The UK Variant. The multitude of WHO pivots and why they are commitment to illogical positions such as Case Definition and Death Cert guidance?  Lastly but perhaps most importantly - what would a cunning Govt do to engineer out of the hysteria and claim victory in the next few months by gaming nature? It's THE covid conversation you'd love to have, if you could find someone on the same wavelength, a deep thinker, and who is intensely researched on the science and politics.   Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/155-ivor-cummins-covid-jan21/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (10% off coupon OWNIT-2021)   Where to find IVOR CUMMINS and his work: ▪︎ YouTube - Ivor Cummins ▪︎ Social Media - Twitter & Facebook ▪︎ Website - https://thefatemperor.com ▪︎ Podcast - The Fat Emperor   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

Dr. Clare Craig, an experienced 20 year pathologist veteran within and outside of the NHS, joins us on 30th Dec to talk about a number of key COVID scientific matters that have been significantly been misrepresented in 2020. Expect to hear us cover Asymptomatic Transmission, Case Definition, SAGE, PCR Testing, Lateral Flow Testing, Excess Deaths, Hospital Pressures, the New Variant, False Positives, Herd Immunity, Immunity Metrics, Interesting Alternative Surveillance and much more. Full show notes listed below.  Clare has worked not only with the NHS, but also on the important 100,000 Genome Project and AI cancer diagnostics, and given her specialism is incredibly familiar with testing and diagnostics. With this experience and her advanced scientific faculties, she is able to interpret the science in ways most cannot. As such, whilst she recognises the viral pressure in 2020, she is highly sceptical with the approaches being taken nationally and globally.  This episode is a synthesis of the most important scientific questions AdapNation has received regarding the COVID UK response in recent weeks. We cover a great deal, and should provide essential context and scientific insight to the whole nation - no matter your beliefs and position regarding the govt actions.  It’s a long interview due to the breadth of topics, the need to answer them with sufficient depth, and this unique situation to get such an expert speak at length to our many scientific curiosities. As a top tip, try listening at 1.5x speed - it’s sounds good and condenses the listening time.  ESSENTIAL LISTENING for all. Please share to your friends and family to widen and expand our public understanding of the actual science regarding COVID.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed - https://adapnation.io/154-dr-clare-craig-covid-science/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find DR CLARE CRAIG: ▪︎ Twitter: @ClareCraigPath ▪︎ Dr. Clare’s website: logicinthetimeofcovid.com    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, long standing NHS GP, Hospital doctor, and Heart Disease Specialist brings his deep-thinking scientific and critical mind to the topic of COVID, Vaccines and the state of medical scientific research.  This was recorded on 8th December 2020 - what Matt Hancock pegged as V-Day (the first day COVID vaccines were administered globally).  Malcolm is a master in dissecting medical data and clinical trials, as well as identifying broader trends in health and medicine that seem to be resisted by the medical establishment. He’s authored some critical books on Cholesterol, Heart Disease and the process of doctoring data by pharmaceutical companies.  With a popular medical blog, a sought-after speaker, and an advocate for developing metabolic health with low carb real food diet formats, Dr Kendrick brings a well respected and well-known voice across the medical and nutritional communities - in part for his refreshing non-consensus thinking across some aspects of medicine.  Given Malcolm’s clinical experience with COVID Patients, his exposure to people with low cardio metabolic health, and his comfort in calling out issues with medicine and medical research, his voice desperately needs to be heard across the population.   We dig deep into the manipulation of clinical data for profit or policy gain - be it the COVID data, vaccine trial data, or the general approach to medical research funded by big pharmaceuticals. We get into the COVID Vaccine Clinical trials, the death of science in 2020, and the concerns ahead for science unless drastic action is taken.

Geez, I got animated in this discussion. This was one big explosion of uncontrolled and unexpected fireworks!  Fans of AdapNation's content, or those that generally are holding in a lot of emotional pain and anguish regarding this COVID-leadership - I suspect this will be both cathartic and energising.  The Convo Context: Bryn and I got together to talk about the 1-2 punch that this COVID obsession is having on peoples personal health.  A critically important discussion as I’m sure yo will agree, because not only does it effect our susceptibility to serious infectious diseases, but it effects our future and overall ability to thrive, be effective and enjoy life.  This conversation absolutely touched a nerve. I got on my soap box and ended up monologuing and having a good old rant. Not my podcast style, so apologies upfront.  But, the issues of ignoring and directly effecting the decline in peoples health is a sickening reality of 2020.  I can’t sit on my hands and be polite about this stuff, as we’re being sold a false bill of goods with this Biosecurity authoritarian regime consisting of incessant testing, manipulative case definition, suppressing movement and socialising, masks, and now the finale - experimental vaccines being thrust upon the ENTIRE population of the human species.  This is clearly a raw conversation, full of expletives and exposing the ugly truths of leadership decisions and peoples lack of personal health ownership.  It might offend some people. Hopefully you see my passion for what it is - an intense care and concern for people being mislead and let down.  Apologies upfront if this is too strong and feels too direct and harsh. Please know, I have zero issue with you, the everyday person. We are all doing the best we can with what we have and what we know.  My beef is squarely with the overt manipulation, propaganda and coercion being deployed at an unprecedented scale by ideologically flawed leaders across government, business, institutions, globalist think tanks and technocrats.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/152-the-covid-1-2-health-punch/    The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Referenced Content: ▪︎ The Church of Vaccines ▪︎ Non-COVID causes of death in 2020 ▪︎ Main pre-existing conditions of deaths involving COVID-19   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

This is a shorter solo podcast, for those interested to know more about the producer of all of AdapNation’s COVID-19 and associated content, and how it’s done.  This episode is part confessional, part insight into how I work, and part instructional.   It’s great to see our content is helpful and valuable to so many in calibrating their knowledge and perspectives regarding COVID-19, human health and government public health interventions. More and more people are gaining the courage and confidence to share our evidence-based content, set up their own pages and even produce their own analysis. Amazing!  But, let’s be clear, we ALL have our biases. You can’t be human and not have your own worldview and biases, that inevitably act as both a map and a lens in which you evaluate and respond to reality. I (Steve) am no exception.  So, in an effort to be an open book to our supporters, new followers, and even sceptics of our work, I thought it would be only right to share my health-oriented worldview and known biases. Yep, it’s a laundry list! No doubt you would have experienced my biases in my work, so this is merely a confession to the fact I know that they exist and I try my best to mitigate them.  No one is immune to cognitive dissonance, me being no exception. The more open we can be about this, the better we can explore truth versus attempting to bend reality to match our expectations and beliefs of the world.  This episode will also let you in to how I further develop my my subject matter knowledge, how I research and investigate issues, how I prevent being in an echo chamber, my approach to content creation, the important aspects of statistician analysis and visualisation, and the common COVID-associated data sources AdapNation frequently use in our work.     The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Referenced AdapNation Resources: ▪︎ COVID+ Insights - the AdapNation in-context COVID dashboard  ▪︎ COVID Content - a collection of our best COVID content  ▪︎ AdapNation on Facebook - joint the community which reaches 1.5M+ people a month  ▪︎ About Steve Katasi   For the COVID-19 Official Data Sources we use: https://adapnation.io/151-covid-worldview-biases-approach     ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

Tim Gray, the UK’s leading Biohacker, a psychology specialist, and the founder of UK’s largest alternative health conference called The Health Optimisation Summit joins us to talk about optimising health in 2020.  This is timely topic. 2020 has put a finer point on preventive health in a way like never before. BUT, are people pulling away, in a self-sabotage kind of way from this concept, and is optimising around the edges low on people’s priorities right now?  It’s a true irony. People this year have got the wake up call of all wake up calls. You cannot expect robust health if you don’t commit to it. We are not invincible. Poor chronic lifestyle and diet habits catch up with us eventually.  However, for many, people seem less interested and committed to self-improvement and transformative health this year. For many of us, the Pandemic is all consuming - leading to life being on perma-pause to some degree. This pandemic has messed with a lot of heads and thrown this years health commitments into a spin.  That said, that is not the rule. According to Tim, this year seems to have amplified peoples health status. If you were informed, had momentum and expressed a growth mindset, then those folk have grown disproportionately this year. If you were without direction and not sure what good heath is, then for those things may have gotten worse.  Irrespective, change can happen in an instant. You just need to know wha the big rocks are, decide to shift to health, and start to the ball rolling with your first action.  Sound good?

Bryn Jenkins is back on the AdapNation mics, this time to touch on a subject close to most people’s hearts this year (the year of COVID) - how to exercise in a way that helps improve longevity, wellness and a pain free existence.  This year has seen a major shift in priorities of gym goers. Losing weight and looking good is still important - because let’s face it, a good looking physique is a healthy physique - but now shoring up people’s defences against infections and old age has come into sharp focus.  Up until this year, it’s been too easy to give longevity and wellness goals lip service, but not really commit to it. Why? Well, I guess it comes down to it being less tangible and obvious. You don’t know you haven’t got vitality and true wellness until you finally experience what it actually feels like… or “healthy people” start getting seriously ill and/or passing away.  There are several priorities to wellness and longevity, and all of them need a lifelong commitment. Today, however, we focus on deliberate gym training - specifically weight training - as a means to keep good body function, healthy pain-free joints, impressive age-appropriate strength, healthy muscle mass, appropriate flexibility and great posture.  As Bryn trains many people in their 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, you can be rest assured his guidance is appropriate and effective for all ages, all fitness levels, and all levels of training experience.  You’ll get the benefit of learning about the most effective training structure and principles used by top athletes around the world, but made accessible to everyone.  To make it easier to visualise, follow along and give people a solid place to start, Bryn created an example 3 Day weight training programme. You can download the editable excel Training Programme template HERE, as well as adding your weights and goals within.  P.S. This episode was recorded on the 25th September.

I keep banging on about it regarding protection against COVID-19… Metabolic Health. Probably the most important concept to grasp in these times is getting in and staying Metabolically Healthy.  We see that 96% of all COVID-19 mortality had one or more co-morbidities, with leading health conditions being Diabetes, Hypertension and Obesity. All of which make up something called Metabolic Syndrome.  So, if you want to look good, feel good, have a great sustainable relationship with food, minimise your exposure to chronics diseases and robustly defend against infectious respiratory diseases such as COVID-19, then it should be your top priority to get Metabolically Healthy.  This episode is going to explain exactly what we mean by Metabolic Health, Metabolic Syndrome and Metabolism. Bryn and Steve cover all the bases - ranging from Metabolism and weight management, can you break your metabolism, and hypothyroidism; to how your metabolism becomes dis-regulated, what health issues it causes, and how to identify if you have Metabolic Syndrome.  You’ll learn about the connection between your metabolism, healthy hormone function, body fat, and your immune system. Lastly, we share the practical and simple diet and lifestyle solutions that will get you metabolically healthy. Things you can start right away that will have a quick and profound effect on your metabolic and immune health.  This is TOO IMPORTANT to ignore. For you and your loved ones. We don’t need masks, lockdowns and vaccines. If you truly care about those who are highly susceptible to Flu and COVID-19, then help them improve their host health and natural defences.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed - https://adapnation.io/144-metabolic-health/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find BRYN JENKINS and his work: ▪︎ Facebook & Instagram   ▪︎ Intent2Improve Gym - website & social    Referenced Content:  ▪︎ The #BeYourBest Nutritional Principals ▪︎ Podcast: Human evolution and the diet that made it all possible ~Dr Bill Schindler  ▪︎ Podcasts: Understanding Inflammation wit Dr Tom O’Bryan & Viruses & Immune System with Dr Russell Jaffe    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

Dr Tom O’Bryan helps scientifically unpack two commonly used yet massively misunderstood terms - Inflammation and Oxidisation, and how to think about supporting robust Immune Health during the year of COVID-19.  Dr Tom O’Bryan is a 40 year+ holistic practitioner in the US, with a focus on understanding and reversing modern lifestyle diseases. He has helped 10’s of thousands of people through his clinic, online presence and two best selling books - Autoimmune Fix and You Can Fix Your Brain.  Inflammation has been inappropriately vilified. It’s an effective and critical part of our immune system to fight off invasion and help with body and cellular rejuvenation. The problem is the chronic lifestyle and diet-induced inflammation, that weakens your defences against external threats such as viruses and pathogens. Oxidisation is also often misunderstood, alongside the obsession with ‘antioxidant’ marketing. So, Dr. Tom helps stitch together these topics into a single theme - how our immune system uses inflammation, antibodies, endogenous antioxidants, macrohphages, vitamin and much more to address damage and foreign invasion. This conversation is laced with great examples and analogies. We’ll talk about the deleterious role of Gluten, Plastics, Chemicals and Seed Oils on human health. Dr. Tom frames up what autoimmunity is, the linkage to metabolic syndrome, and how our bodies seem to be attacking themselves.   Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed - https://adapnation.io/142-inflammation-dr-tom/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find DR TOM O'BRYAN & his resources: ▪︎ Free Helpful Guides to reduce autoimmunity in your house - theDR.com/help ▪︎ Prior episode - #54: Causes behind the explosion of Autoimmune Diseases  ▪︎ Book 1 - The Autoimmune Fix  ▪︎ Book 2 - You Can Fix Your Brain ▪︎ Instagram - @dr.tomobryan   Referenced Resources & Third Parties: ▪︎ Chris Masterjohn Podcast on COVID-19 and Vit D status evidence   ▪︎ Book: The Blue Zones ~Dan Buettner    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

Dave Cottrell, Mental Health and Mindset Coach, joins us for an open and honest exploration of mental health issues, the raging tribalism we are seeing today, and anxieties worsened by the COVID-19 crisis. Recorded 20th June 2020.  Dave is uniquely positioned to have this conversation. Suffering with Bipolar, a menacing mental condition, since his teens, he has experienced the deepest darkest times followed by mania on an infinite loop for over half his life. Luckily his attempt on his life wasn’t successful, as we are all blessed with his deep empathy, insight and wisdom when it comes to navigating mental health and modern life in general. He’s hung up his nutrition and PT hat to dedicate his energy into unique and deeply caring services of mindset and mental health coaching.    We seem more divided and more anxious than ever before. There’s tons of passion, care and energy in the world, but joined with lots naivety, vulnerability, aggression and tribalism. This dark energy is reaching its crescendo with the COVID-19 Pandemic, Lockdown and government responses.  But so much has lead to this point - Brexit, UK General Election, Trump Administration, Race Inequality, Veganism, Climate Change. The thing is, much of this energy and fighting would not be possible without social media. We would be otherwise blind to all our differences.  The problem is, a huge part of our ability to live long and well depends on our Strong Social Bonds, Community and Optimism. We’re hurting our health and our civilisation - this issue needs attention. In this episode we attempt to bring these issues to the fore, whilst also making it a practical conversation for the listeners. We explore bipolar, mental health issues at large, the root causes, tribalism, the death of the friendly debate, social media, COVID anxieties and how to expand your comfort zone.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -  https://adapnation.io/141-tribalism-and-anxiety/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find DAVE COTTRELL & his resources: ▪︎ Website - www.mindsetbydave.com ▪︎ Social Media (MindsetByDave) - Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube  ▪︎ Twitch - www.twitch.tv/mindsetbydave ▪︎ Free 1h Mindset Coaching - A Life A Day   Referenced Resources & Third Parties: ▪︎ Lost Connections by Johann Hari  ▪︎ The Looking-Glass Self ▪︎ @justmanupsocial    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

It's time to challenge the shaming, guilting and scaremongering that comes along with the push to normalise Mask wearing in society. Enough is enough... this anti-science can no longer carry on unchecked.

What does the WHO say? Getting into the details of Cloth Masks, Surgical Masks and N95/FFP2 Respirators How valved N95 / FFP2 masks increase the risk to others Calling out the disgusting shaming tactics of the public and media Addressing the idea that "calm down, it's only for a couple of weeks" Why would the English Government mandate Masks... now?!? The reality of our co-habiting relationships with viruses What is the solution? How do I defend against COVID-19? How can the Government actually help the vulnerable, and the rest of us?   If you want to challenge this… please do. I’d just ask you to cite empirical data and/or robust scientific evidence that the UK risk in mid July requires such a divisive measure, and that COVID-19 infection is actively prevented through the wearing of masks. Failing that, how about you just provide strong science that Masks are effective in preventing other respiratory diseases and infections?   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

It turns out that we have an ancient system within our body called the Endocannabinoid System that was only discovered 29 years ago! There is a flurry of constant research to better understand the integral and critical role of this system on on all over bodily processes within humans. However, there continues to be no interest from allopathic medicine and institutional healthcare to accelerate this research and learn more on how to modulate, optimise and prescribe for this important bodily system. Why the resistance? Well, in today’s episode we answer this question and so much more. What motives drove cannabis to become illegal? What is the Endocannabinoid system and what does it effect? How does CBD Oil have therapeutic effects on a number of bodily conditions? Nikki Edyvane has an advanced diploma in CBD, has conducted over 1500+ hours of research in this field, has become very familiar with the research and trials, and is an educator of CBD and ECS across the industry.  He’s definitely qualified for the discussion, and is incredibly passionate.

Kris Gethin - world renowned ‘Biohacker’ and former natural Pro Bodybuilder joins us for a fascinating insight into what the edge of self-optimisation and optimising wellness looks like.    Biohacking is a term that is growing in popularity, but still very much a niche idea. In health and wellness circles, it’s an expression of health optimisation with techniques, technology, supplements, nature and medical procedures.    Biohackers can often be considered obsessive, over prioritising the minutia, and over investing into quantification and tech. There is sometimes a sense of wanting to live forever by playing god with technical innovations. But, this is an unfair representation.    Kris Gethin is a shining example of someone who deeply understands wellness and longevity, and invests appropriately for his life priorities and income. Kris is a fellow podcaster, personal trainer, wellness enthusiast, author, and owner of a supplement line and gym academies.    Get an insight into how Kris’ mind works as it relates to optimising health and biohacking, his journey from bodybuilding to optimised wellness, and his fringe biohacking experiments.

20-year ex Vegan and acclaimed author Lierre Keith, joins us to expose the ugly truths about veganism and plant agriculture that we never hear.   Lierre breaks down the flawed and misunderstood moral, political and nutritional world views that are so popular in vegan, vegetarian and plant-based advocacy.    This is not a witch hunt. Lierre cares so deeply about causing least harm, harmonising with nature and replenishing our looted soils. She makes the claim that the most passionate about nature and sustainability, are unfortunately the most naive regarding our modern plant-heavy food supply.    This is why we did this episode. To empathetically speak to the devout Vegans, Vegetarians, and those seriously considering a plant-based diet for ethical, sustainable and nutritional reasons. There is no judgement, just adult knowledge to supplement people's passion.    Pro-Vegan messaging can strike a chord in quick soundbites. Rebutting these soundbites requires deep dialog and understanding. Lierre’s emotional and jarring book The Vegetarian Myth does exactly that from a moral, political and nutritional perspective.    We try our best to represent the key elements of her book within this unavoidably long Podcast interview. It’s worth committing the time. We all need to level set on some ugly truths if we are to find sustainable and nourishing ways to exist.    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed - https://adapnation.io/124-lierre-keith/   The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find Lierre Keith and her work: ▪︎ The book - The Vegetarian Myth  ▪︎ Lierre’s website - Lierrekeith.com  ▪︎ Facebook - Friend request Lierre Keith    Third Party References: ▪︎ Overshoot by William R.

It’s a fun and informative interview!   Jaime is a OBGYN from Nebraska, who has seen tremendous physical and wellness results personally over the last 3 years by embracing a ketogenic lifestyle.    In actual fact, it’s when she transitioned to a Carnivore(ish) diet the benefits in health, body composition and mental capability really took off.

This episode will shock you! We have Rebekah Farmer on the show today, who is bravely sharing her lifelong struggle with her body, mind and gut rebelling against her very existence.   You name it, Rebekah has had it… it is truly unfathomable just how much biological abuse she endured over 15+ years.   Degenerative Disc, Insomnia, Depression, OCD, ADHD, Anxiety, chronic Acne, Osteopenia. Asthma, hives, IBS, IBD, Coeliac, chronic Lyme disease, Hashimotos, Colitis, Addisons, chronic C. Diff, Diverticulitis, Ulcerative Colitis, Scleroderma, Slow Transit Colon, and more! Can you even imagine?!   Rebekah has battled with a systemic emergency for almost all her own life, with crippling pain, emotional trauma, medicated up to her eyeballs, and a body seemingly giving up on her. She was incredibly uncomfortable within her own skin, could not function normally, and weighed as little as 79lbs as a fully grown woman.   Fast forward to today, and Rebekah is completely off all meds. Almost every condition and symptom has disappeared. She is happy, strong, highly functioning and thriving. How?! Keto made a huge difference to her need for medication, but it was the Carnivore Diet that has had the most profound impact in her quality of life and health.   Sounds crazy right? I know. But, it sounds the same as Mikhaila Peterson's road to recovery on an all-meat diet. As well as 1000’s and growing cases online (such as MeatRX) of miraculous recoveries from modern diseases by taking this extreme and seemingly drastic course of action.   You’ll want to hear Rebakah’s story.

Negative Funks and Harmful Rumination - I’m not immune to these toxic states and thoughts, even when I know better! I (Steve) keep my guard low on this show generally, and have no issue exposing my struggles and weaknesses for us all to learn from. But, there’s being open and relaxed, and then there is being truly transparent. Completely letting your guard down, and letting the raw and ugly truth come out.   In this episode with Bryn Jenkins, this is exactly what I did. It was like therapy - a session on the ‘Dr Jenkins’ couch!  I wanted to air this chat, because we all want to show the world that we’ve got our shit together. To downplay the negative and ugly aspects of our personality and behaviours. But, here’s the thing - we can’t complete avoid periods of negative mindsets. Not even self-optimising Mr #BeYourBest!  We can’t always be happy, even though that’s the dream - the societal expectation. Being unhappy is seen as a failure, yet in spite of many low moments, people achieve the most incredible lives. What gives?  What I think you’ll find interesting in this chat was the on-the-mic realisation that I am likely deficient in some Psychological Nutrients. And that, there is a of Self-Sabotage in all of us.   I know better - mentally, academically and through personal experience, and yet I allow myself to to brew negativity and harmful non-productive thoughts from time to time.

Keto Muscle Building guru Danny Vega joins us for a part two on Keto, but this time the focus is on maximally building muscle whilst on a ketogenic diet. Danny first joined us on the show in Episode 108, where we laid down the Keto knowledge, definitions and life benefits from taking a low carb and nose-to-tail approach to nutrition. In this episode, we decided to get really curious and specific as it relates to performance and muscle growth.   For as long as there have been bodybuilding bros and athletes, there has been a strong emphasis on consuming a lot of carbs to fuel performance and to get bigger and stronger. Therefore, the natural response to a Keto Diet is that it will be suboptimal for athletic and bodybuilding goals.  Is this a true statement? Are carbs essential to maximise progress? Can you build appreciable muscle on a low carb or Keto diet? What sacrifices are you making in doing so?  These are important questions, as is the question about how to intelligently introduce carbs into a low carb diet and still maintain ketosis and fat adaptation when you have very specific training goals. And, what performance issues can you expect as you transition into a ketogenic or low carb lifestyle? Danny helps answer these questions with detail, relatability and non-dogmatically - offering us all some great Keto muscle building intelligence. Some of which will surely surprise many listeners.   This episode is great for everyone, whether you are in a low carb diet or not, as we cover many physiologic response to our diets and the effects that has on our training and muscle development.   Enjoy!    Check out the Full Show Notes of What’s Discussed -   https://adapnation.io/116-danny-vega-keto-muscle/ The #BeYourBest Journey : https://adapnation.io/beyourbest-journey/ (£10 coupon BESTYEAR-2020)    Where to find DANNY VEGA and his work: ▪︎ Instagram - @dannyvega.ms, @fatfueledmom & @fatfueledkids  ▪︎ Keto Muscle Intelligence - Keto muscle building nutrition and training program and coaching  ▪︎ Carnivore Keto Cut - Danny’s successful and enjoyable 30 day weight loss cutting program  ▪︎ 5 Mistakes Behind Keto Muscle Building - free downloadable guide  ▪︎ Fat Fueled Family - The Podcast & The Website  ▪︎ Facebook - Danny Vega    Referenced in Show: ▪︎ Ben Pakulski & joint-venture Muscle Intelligence Keto Plan  ▪︎ Keto Savage - Robert Sikes  ▪︎ Dr Benjamin Bikman - Leading Insulin expert  ▪︎ UCAN Superstarch - A Keto-friendly carb supplement    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: ■ The #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook & Tons of Free Website Content  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive

#110: A Guide to Human Evolution & The Diet that made it all Possible ~Dr. Bill Schindler

Dr. Bill Schindler, the hands-on anthropologist and archeologist, and overall student of prehistoric and indigenous cultures and tooling, joins us today for what is a truly fascinating and thought provoking discussion on our evolution as a species. Bill’s on a mission to take the archaeological record and get the truth out there to the masses. He believes is we can all better understand our evolutionary past, and what critical nutritional and tooling decisions were made along the way to result in the most capable species on the planet, then we will know how to thrive as individuals today. It’s astounding just how much we know about our early cultures, practices, diets, food processing, tooling and how we acquired our food. Furthermore, the strong linkage we have established between an increase in nutrient density in our diets and the explosion in body size, brain volume, intelligence, social skills and proliferation is a compelling call to better respect the power of nutrition. In this episode, Bill helps us understand the connection between the technology we developed, and our very existence! That without the food acquiring and processing tools we developed and harnessed, we simply would not be. This is powerful stuff!   This episode strongly makes the case to return to an ancestral-influenced diet, with evidence and logic that is hard to refute.   Check out the show notes for a full run down of what we cover.

#109: How to become Indistractable & taking back the reigns from tech! ~Nir Eyal

Nir Eyal, a foremost leader in understanding behaviour design, habit formation, and developing compelling technology, joins us today for a truly fascinating and highly relatable discussion on the modern plague - DISTRACTION. Full Show Notes of what we discussed - https://adapnation.io/109-indistractable-nir-eyal/ Nir has been advising companies for years on how to design tech that gets us hooked. Who better to seek counsel from than an industry insider when it comes to hacking back and reclaiming our focus?! Nir wrote the book (literally) on how to get people hooked on tech, as well as how to become indistractable. If you want to live the most fulfilled life and achieve what you really want, in line with your values, then you must develop a framework and mindset that limits the distraction and noise, and allows you more traction in the things that really matter. Distraction pulls us away from action, and often break our own rules and values. So why do we allow it to happen… all the time?! That’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this episode. The what, why and how of distraction, at the scientific and deeply psychological level. You’ll better understand your behaviours - which are natural human behaviours, as well as understanding how you can claim back control. We also spend a lot of time discussing the elephant in the room. Whether we should be blaming the big tech giants for causing deep distraction and the growing mental health crisis. Are they really the issue? Are we doomed to fall under their spell and get less and less important stuff done?  Are our kids destined for a terrible future due to social media in their lives? Are they powerless to the ever strengthening algorithms? This and so much more. You’ll love this one, I’m sure! You may even relate to Steve’s issues with distraction and pain avoidance...    Where to find NIR EYAL and his work online : ▪︎ Nir’s website, info on being Indistractable, and where to claim the bonus materials - NirAndFar.com/Indistractable ▪︎ The Book - Indistractable: How to Control You Attention And Choose Your Life ▪︎ Nir’s Schedule Maker Tool ▪︎ Nir’s Distraction Guide & Habits vs Routines articles ▪︎ Social - Instagram (@neyal99) and Twitter (@nireyal)   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: ■ Steve’s Morning Ritual to manage distraction and be productive  ■ Steve’s template for a Perfect Day and Perfect Week  ■ The Power of Mindfulness, and how this simple habit can help you focus on what matters most  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook  ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive     

#108: Danny Vega on all things Keto, helping your Kids Thrive & Ancestral Nutrition

Keto and Animal-Based advocate, Muscle Building Expert, and doting dad Danny Vega joins us on this episode for an incredible discussion around Keto, Kids Health, Traditional Nutrition and addressing the Health Issues of our modern processed and plant-heavy western diets.  Danny Vega is most well known for his enthusiasm for the ketogenic diet and how he has successfully integrated this nutritional lifestyle within his loving family and in the gym. He runs a successful blog and podcast called Fat Fuelled family with his with Maura, and their kids even have a instagram page showcasing their nutrient-dense low carb diet!  Danny is the real-deal. Honest, caring, and genuinely motivated to help people understand the practicality of thriving on a very counter-culture way of eating. He also defies the narrative that you cannot build muscle on a Keto / low carb diet… he’s jacked!  Danny has teamed up with prior AdapNation guest Ben Pakulski to design and successfully implement a nutritional and training regime for people wanting to maximise muscle growth whilst on a ketogenic diet. We agreed to do a part two soon on exactly that. It’s a hotly requested topic, and Danny has the answers to building muscle on a low card diet!    This is an amazing conversation, as I knew it would be. We cover a ton, and Danny calls out the great insights from 17 leaders in nutrition and fitness space, all of which are linked in the Show Notes below.    Full Show Notes of what we discussed - https://adapnation.io/108-danny-vega-keto/   Where to find DANNY VEGA online : ▪︎ Instagram - @dannyvega.ms, @fatfueledmom & @fatfueledkids  ▪︎ Fat Fueled Family - The Podcast & The Website  ▪︎ Facebook - Danny Vega   Referenced in Show: ▪︎ Ben Pakulski & joint-venture Muscle Intelligence Keto Plan  ▪︎ Michaela Peterson ▪︎ Dom D'Agostino ▪︎ Elliot Overton - AdapNation Oxalate Episode  ▪︎ #Carnivore75hard by @NutritionwithJudy  ▪︎ Keto Savage - Robert Sikes  ▪︎ Luis V from Keto Gains ▪︎ Cian Foley - Don’t eat for winter  ▪︎ Mark Bell ▪︎ Dr Gabor Mate ▪︎ Dr Cate Shanahan - Deep Nutrition  ▪︎ Sally Fallon Morell ▪︎ Weston A Price foundation ▪︎ Dr. Bill Schindler ▪︎ Charlene & Joe Anderson    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you like this and other AdapNation episodes, please don't forget to subscribe to the channel, as well as leaving a 5 star review and letting friends and family know of this Podcast on Social Media.   AdapNation Useful Links: ■ #HyperWorkouts - Expertly written Gym Workout Plans, with video guides, print-outs & HeavySet import  ■ Steve’s Body & Mind Progress Journals - Follow Steve’s real-world progress, following all the principles within the Podcasts  ■ Social - Instagram & Facebook  ■ AdapNation Butler - An Online Personal Assistant that can inspire easy and tasty Home-cooking  ■ AdapNation Food Diary - 100’s of Tasty Healthy Meal Ideas, that are focussed on helping you thrive
