I'm Ben, AKA PrimalBro, I've lost over 150 pounds, and this is my podcast where I discuss... whatever I want!
It's not about the destination. It's about the journey. That's something that I think this guest understood early on. Rob continued to try new things and push himself beyond simply losing weight. He is enjoying the journey towards better, not just focusing on a number. This “What's Next?” attitude has taken Rob many places including his upcoming bodybuilding show in October. I had a blast recording this one, and I know you're gonna enjoy it! Thanks for listening!

I’ve gotten (and continue to get) SO MANY messages and questions about my “new” diet after years of doing the keto diet.

Sure, red light therapy and blue light blocking glasses in conjunction with ice baths and saunas can optimize sleep while eating nose to tail with a strict fasting schedule... yadda, yadda, yadda. Is there validity to some of these practices? Yes. Are there benefits to be had from adopting them? Yes. Can you become TOO obsessed with them? Yes. My point is that too many people become so obsessed with living an optimal life that they aren't really living one at all. Your human experience should be ENCHANCED by science, NOT REPLACED by it.

In this episode I am joined by Brenda Breland. Her struggles with weight as well as postpartum depression started Brenda on a path that would take her places she never thought of before. She overcame her depression, changed her lifestyle, and went on to pursue the best version of herself she could possibly be! Today, Brenda coaches others as they work to make those same positive changes in their own lives. I had a lot of fun talking to Brenda, and I think this is a great episode for everyone, but particularly good for those females that may be listening.

Muscles, Meat Eating, & Much More - Danny Vega | Ep 037 Today I am joined by someone I look up to as a content creator, as a man, and as a father - the great and powerful Danny Vega! Danny has been a huge part of the keto community for as long as I can remember. He’s what I would consider a true expert in the subject of nutrition as well as strength and conditioning! We go into Danny’s background that led him to becoming the absolute savage of a man he is today. We discuss keto and general nutritional concepts. We also talk about fitness and how those two things relate. We ALSO go into a bit of mindset stuff, and we even had what was a very helpful conversation for me about homeschooling as Danny and his wife are veterans and my wife and I are in our first month ever homeschooling our children. Probably one of the most educational episodes I’ve done, and a ton of fun to record. Enjoy!

I had the pleasure of talking to Ashleigh Van Houten. You may know her as The Muscle Maven. She is a health and nutrition journalist, speaker, podcast host, certified health coach, and self-proclaimed health and fitness nerd. It’s always important to me to make this podcast valuable and entertaining at the same time, and Ashleigh was the perfect guest to help me do both. We talked about fitness and nutrition, bodybuilding, diet dogma, jiu-jitsu, and so much awesome stuff including her soon to be released organ meat cookbook, It Takes Guts. If you don’t appreciate the humor in that title, I don’t know if I can help you. This is a great episode, and I know you’re gonna enjoy it!

He has a cookbook coming out soon titled “Ketogenic Diet for Two” which we discuss. And, oh yeah, he also lost 125 pounds using the keto diet. I had a lot of fun talking to Tom.

Ryan has been a coaching client of mine since early this year, and he’s had tremendous results not only in his weight loss, but in his physical capability and his mindset as well. It has truly been an honor working with Ryan, and I really appreciate him taking the time to come on the show and talk about his own transformation as well as what it’s like to work with a coach. Especially such a handsome and intelligent coach... But seriously, Ryan is an incredible example that anyone has the ability to change their lives. Success isn’t reserved for crazy people like me. It’s equal opportunity. And no matter what point you’re at in your weight loss journey, I think Ryan’s story will connect with you on some level.

London’s life began as the embodiment of the american dream, but sadly things slowly fell apart around him. Family, finances, mental health, so many things working against him that his story could have easily turned out much different. But instead of some cautionary tale or sad story, London pushed through to become the incredible man he is today. He's a personal trainer who has worked extensively with a long list of individuals including former NFL players and champion amateur boxers, and he’s one of the most inspirational and motivating people I’ve had the pleasure of talking to.

Weight loss isn’t the goal, it’s the beginning. At least that seems to be the case for today’s guest, Alex Porro. After losing just south of 300 pounds, he continues to push himself everyday and continues to grow as a human being. His mindset is very much a mentality of “staying hungry”. He’s an awesome dude who motivates me every single day. I think he can motivate you, too! Enjoy!! Support Alex: * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/porro92/ Follow me on Instagram @primalbro!

Scott Myslinski has found incredible benefits from adopting the carnivore diet. A diet like this goes against everything conventional and mainstream regarding nutrition, but Scott is proving those antiquated ideas wrong by not only showing his own success on the carnivore diet, but also by sharing the stories of so many other carnivore experts and veterans through his podcast, The Carnivorecast. We talk about all things carnivore in addition to talking about Scott’s past as a rower, how he ate prior to going carnivore, and so much more. Today’s a good one. Enjoy!

David is another example of impressive weight loss success, and really that complete mind/body transformation that I connect with so deeply. He’s someone who not only loses the weight, but changes the way they think and continues to grow as a person. In addition to that, he's an awesome dude who's involved in the Special Olympics, he just got married, and like the rest of us he had to adapt to life in quarantine. We talk about all that and some more great stuff, it was a fun conversation, and I hope you enjoy this one.

Aaron spent years riding the rollercoaster of yo yo dieting before discovering the ketogenic diet. Through keto, he was able to find the success and health that had eluded him for so long. He’s an incredibly smart and funny person, and he has a rather popular YouTube channel centered around the ketogenic diet where his humor as well as his skills and background in editing videos really gets to shine.

Jonathan Shane may not have lost a tremendous amount of weight, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t faced some pretty difficult obstacles in his journey to finding health. Body dysmorphia and bulimia have been long time battles for Jonathan that can still creep back up on him to this day. However, he’s been able to find a powerful tool against those enemies via the ketogenic diet. Today, he has competed multiple times in bodybuilding, he is currently training for a new pursuit of marathon running, and he’s doing his best to bring the same nutritional and mental freedoms he has experienced to others with his content, coaching, and so much more. I had a great time talking to Jon, and I hope you have a great time listening to today’s episode!

After a surprise trip to the doctor opened his eyes to some pretty serious issues, Hadi took it upon himself to not only lose a massive amount of weight, but change his life in many other ways. He’s now a competitive powerlifter training out of what is known as “the strongest gym in the west”! He had a lot of great insight to share, an incredible story to tell, and I really enjoyed our conversation. I hope you enjoy it as well.
