Podcast appearances and mentions of michael kummer

In this show, I share more thoughts on my new, recent longevity mantra: perform, recover, perform, recover. These thoughts were inspired by an interaction I had with my friend Michael Kummer—host of The Primal Shift podcast—who recently wrote a newsletter article about the longevity practices of the increasingly prominent biohacker Bryan Johnson. While I appreciate a lot of things that Bryan does in service to the health community by trying all these cutting-edge strategies and then reporting back on his results, I do have some thoughts on the tendency many people have these days to drift a little too far towards high-tech anti-aging methods—particularly when it comes to taking a flawed approach to a biohacking strategy. Just look at Bryan Johnon’s decision to eat fewer calories based on the assumption that calorie restriction does indeed help with healthy aging….When it comes to biohacking, are some extreme methods too extreme? And could we be making some huge mistakes in the process? Find out in this episode! TIMESTAMPS: Calorie restriction studies have mostly been done on animals. How do they apply to humans? [00:45] Many people are equating fasting, ketogenic diet and other, strategies and interventions with longevity. However, these are things that that promote a stress response. [05:41] Ditch the nutrient deficient processed foods. [07:57] Brad takes a look at Brian Johnson's longevity goal. [10:38] A glucose spike is not inherently a bad thiing. Is there such thing as having insulin that's too low? [13:56] Brad tries to limit stress in his life in many ways. He has found that shortening his time in the cold plunge is more beneficial. [16:55] Some people get so obsessed with their training, they get into orthorexia which is an unnatural and unhealthy fixation on doing things correctly. [18:55] Brad discusses his new dietary patterns. [24:38] Should you feel sore after a good workout? [27:40] Eat more and move more is a longevity strategy. [29:59] Perform, Recover, Perform, Recover is Brad's mantra. [32:40] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com Brad Nutrition.com B.rad Whey Protein Superfuel- The Best Protein on the Planet!

As a former pro triathlete, Brad Kearns used to push himself to the extremes of human endurance. He competed globally, chasing medals and personal records, only to eventually confront a humbling truth: his intense cardio regimen wasn't building him up — it was slowly breaking his body down. Overtraining left him exhausted, inflamed, and far from the image of optimal health he once envisioned. Today, Kearns sees fitness differently. Rather than pushing endless mileage, he's embraced shorter, more explosive movements like sprinting, jumping and lifting — movements that mimic our ancestral heritage, and that our bodies naturally crave.  In this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, we talk about why modern fitness culture has become hyper-focused on cardio, overlooking the fact that our bodies thrive when exposed to a balanced set of exercises. We also discuss the consequences of pushing too hard, too often, including skyrocketing cortisol, hampered metabolism and staggering injury rates. Kearns' journey highlights the fact that optimal health is about nuance, not extremes. It's about rediscovering a primal approach to movement that energizes rather than exhausts, and heals rather than harms. By shifting away from relentless endurance toward mindful, primal fitness, we reconnect with our evolutionary blueprint, supporting lifelong vitality rather than short-term achievements.

Several years ago, I transitioned from a paleo to a ketogenic diet because I thought all carbs were evil and I maintained a strict keto diet for over three years. By strict, I mean somewhere between 0 to 15 grams of carbs per day.    Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer shares the pros and cons of a low-carb ketogenic diet, what triggered him to include more carbs in his diet, and how his performance and biomarkers have changed since switching. He also shares tips on how you can leverage low-carb eating to improve your health and well-being, and some of the mistakes to avoid on a low-carb diet. There's no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to being keto or not, and the key is to make informed choices based on your individual needs, exercise regimen, and energy demands.

With the advancement of technology and modern conveniences, many of us have drifted away from our inherent connection to nature. We are living in climate-controlled homes, spending most of our days indoors, and have significantly reduced our time interacting with the natural world. However, did you know that reconnecting with nature could be the ultimate health biohack for optimal physical and mental well-being?   Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer reveals how nature holds the power to enhance our health and wellness and 13 ways to tap into the restorative properties of nature. Whether it's grounding by walking barefoot, forest bathing, exposing ourselves to fresh air and sunshine, or connecting with animals, there's no denying the myriad health benefits that nature has to offer.   What we discuss: 00:07 - Reconnecting With Nature for Optimal Health 03:27 - Grounding or Earthing 05:23 - Forest Bathing 08:44 - Exposing Yourself to Soil and Fresh Air 10:45 - Sunshine for Mental and Physical Health 14:09 - The Benefits of Eating Outside 15:05 - Outdoor Activities for Well-being 17:30 - The Benefits of Growing Something 20:00 - Expose Yourself to Extreme Landscapes 21:55 - Connect with Animals   Resources: Grounding reduces inflammation, pain, and stress; improves blood flow, sleep, and vitality.

There's an underappreciated and often overlooked aspect of maintaining optimal health that many of us miss in our busy, hustle-bustle lives. It's not a magic pill or an exotic superfood. It's something much more primal and deeply rooted in our evolutionary history – community.   The sense of belonging to a community and tribalism in achieving health transcends just the physical. Have you ever thought about how our modern emphasis on individuality could be contributing to the high rates of isolation, anxiety, and mental health problems that we see today? Could community be the path to achieving optimal health?    These are questions we answer in this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer explores why it's essential to be part of a community, and why a sense of belonging is vital for our mental health and physical health. He shares 11 useful tips and tricks to help you transition into or find new communities, or perhaps even create your own. What we discuss 0:03:10 - How having a community or not having a community impacts our lives 0:08:15 - How to build relationships to create community 0:12:40 - Why finding common ground with others is important 0:16:00 - Online communities versus in person communities 0:18:45 - Focusing on solutions over problems when building community 0:20:13 - Starting your own community 0:22:22 - How community affect our lives   Learn more from Michael Kummer: Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order at https://shop.michaelkummer.com/ Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ Instagram: @mkummer82 Email: hello@primalshiftpodcast.com  

What if you could strengthen your body, improve your health, and boost your immunity with simple everyday activities? Today we explore how you can do that using the concept of hormesis or hormetic stressors. Get ready to discover how you can enhance your body's response to the environment and how vital stressors like exercise, sun exposure, and temperature variations can contribute to your overall health and well-being.   Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer explores the meaning of hormesis, the crucial role of hormetic stressors in our health, and how you can incorporate them into your daily life. He discusses how sun exposure, cold plunging, sauna bathing, and even exposing yourself to germs can build resilience against various environmental and health stressors. He also shares the common mistake everyone makes when it comes to hormetic stressors and how to avoid it.   Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order for:   MK's Grass-Fed Beef Liver Supplement: https://shop.michaelkummer.com/products/freeze-dried-beef-liver?selling_plan=688531800380   MK's Grass-Fed Beef Heart & Spleen Supplement: https://shop.michaelkummer.com/products/freeze-dried-heart-spleen?selling_plan=688531865916   What We Discuss: 0:04:45 - Why are Hormesis or Hormetic Stressors Important 0:07:30 - Benefits of Hormetic Stressors: Sun, Cold, Sauna, Germs 0:11:01 - Strengthening the Body Through Various Stressors 0:14:20 - Leveraging Food Stressors for Resilience 0:16:23 - The Importance of Managing Stressors 0:23:07 - Getting Creative with Exercise in Daily Life 0:25:00 - Maintaining a Good Diet Key Takeaways: The concept of hormesis, or hormetic stressors, can play a crucial role in combating the sedentary nature of modern life.

A variety of hormetic stressors can be incorporated into our daily routines, including exercise, sun exposure, cold plunging, infrared sauna bathing, and exposing ourselves to germs. These activities can build resilience against environmental stressors and improve our immunity. It's important not to overdo the application of hormetic stressors. While they can have a positive effect on our bodies, they can also cause harm if not managed correctly. We need to listen to our bodies and determine what level of stress it can handle, allowing time for recovery to avoid overloading ourselves with stress.   Learn more from Michael Kummer: Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order at https://shop.michaelkummer.com/ Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ Instagram: @mkummer82  

What if the biggest threat to your health is not the obvious culprits like junk food or lack of exercise, but rather, invisible enemies lurking in your everyday environment? Harmful substances such as xenoestrogens, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and PFAS (aka forever chemicals) are surprisingly found in your personal care products, your food, and even the clothes you wear. The health implications of these toxins can be severe, and their effects can stay dormant, leading to long-term health risks.   In this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, host Michael Kummer unveils the invisible toxins found in everyday life along with strategies for reducing toxin exposure and creating a healthier living environment. Learn about the importance of filtering tap water, the hazards in everyday items like cookware and synthetic clothing, and the benefits of using safer alternatives.   What we discuss: 0:05:55 - Toxins in Cookware and Personal Care 0:13:49 - Filter Tap Water, Avoid Plastic Bottles 0:14:05 - Tips for Avoiding Endocrine Disruptors 0:19:46 - Avoiding Chemicals in Food 0:25:53 - Birth Control and Health Awareness   Key Takeaways: Environmental toxins, such as xenoestrogens, endocrine-disrupting chemicals, and PFAS (aka forever chemicals), can be found in everyday products, such as personal care products, cookware, and even food. These toxins can lead to severe health implications, often lying dormant and leading to long-term health risks. Xenoestrogens mimic the hormone estrogen, disrupting the body's natural hormone balance and potentially leading to health issues such as cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and fertility problems. Practical strategies to reduce exposure to xenoestrogens are discussed, including filtering tap water, avoiding plastic food containers, and choosing personal care products and clothing free from harmful chemicals. Hormonal birth control, by its very nature, disrupts the endocrine system and can have a variety of negative health impacts. It is suggested that alternative methods for controlling fertility should be explored, such as monitoring body temperature and tracking menstrual cycles.   Links:  Non-Toxic Products List (PDF): How Xenoestrogens Make You Infertile and Sick Radiant Life Whole House Water Filtration System Review HypoAir BiPolar Review: The Best Whole House Air Purifier   Learn more from Michael Kummer: Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order at https://shop.michaelkummer.com/ Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ Instagram: @mkummer82  

Have you ever wondered how much of an impact stress can have on your health? While chronic stress can have detrimental effects on our health, the benefits of “good” stress are often overlooked. Transforming your body's stress response into a powerful adaptation tool is essential for optimizing your overall health.    Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer dives into the impact stress has on our health, and covers how to protect yourself through resilience and stress management techniques. He sheds light on the insidious effects of chronic stress, from nutrient depletion to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and sleep disturbances. He also shares practical techniques for stress management, including breathing exercises, journaling, and reconnecting with nature.    What we discuss: (0:00:07) - Manage stress for optimal health (0:09:26) - Effective stress management techniques (0:17:33) - Improving stress resilience with diet (0:21:09) - Reducing stress through simplification   Key Takeaways: Acute stress is crucial for our survival. It helps us react quickly and make the right decisions in dangerous situations. For example, when we hear a car approaching while crossing a street, our initial stress response is important in helping us avoid harm. It's important not to suppress or disable this stress response, as it plays a vital role in keeping us safe.  Having an imbalance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in our bodies can affect our nervous system. However, we have the ability to control and change this balance through breathing exercises, which can directly impact and influence our nervous system. By practicing simple breathing techniques, we can shift out of the fight or flight response and induce a state of relaxation. Physical touch has a direct impact on our nervous system. It can help shift our body from the fight or flight response to the parasympathetic mode, which promotes relaxation. Physical touch signals our body that we are safe, and this reassurance can be enough to alleviate stress, calm down, and aid in recovery from a stressful situation.   Learn more:  One of the many benefits of ice baths is that submerging yourself in freezing cold water helps you learn to better manage stressful situations.

Have you ever wondered why a desk job leaves you feeling drained, rather than invigorated? In today's modern world, many of our activities have deviated from our history and what our bodies were designed to do. Rather than walking long distances in search of food and shelter, we often find ourselves living a sedentary lifestyle. This is why compensating with an exercise routine is crucial for optimal health.   Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer dives into the importance of regular exercise for maintaining and strengthening our bodies. He covers why challenging the body through ancestral movements is essential, and why recovery time after a workout should never be overlooked.  What we discuss: 0:02:22 - The importance of exercise for health  0:06:31 - Challenging the body through ancestral movements  0:10:04 - Why resistance training is important 0:15:15 - The importance of recovery in training 0:19:35 - Consuming protein for optimal muscle protein synthesis   Key Takeaways: Regular exercise is essential for maintaining and strengthening our bodies. When we neglect exercise, our muscles, bones, and cardiovascular system can weaken over time. This decline in strength and fitness can become detrimental to our overall health because our heart may struggle to cope with the demands and stresses of daily life, as well as the environmental factors associated with modern living. Allowing your body to recover is crucial for maximizing the benefits of your workouts. Failing to do so can lead to counterproductive outcomes, such as an increased risk of injury and slower progress in building strength. It's possible to experience a recovery deficit, where both performance and overall fitness decline over time if adequate recovery is neglected. Walking is an incredibly powerful and often underappreciated type of exercise. Walking is a low impact exercise accessible to people of all fitness levels, especially those who deal with joint pain and knee issues. Walking can also serve as a form of active meditation or stress relief, allowing for clear thinking and relaxation.

In today's modern world, it's not uncommon to find yourself dealing with many types of health issues- everything from cardiovascular problems to trouble falling asleep. So what's the underlying reason for experiencing these health problems? The truth is that our bodies are designed for an environment that no longer exists, which is why shifting away from the modern lifestyle towards a more primal lifestyle is now more important than ever.   Welcome to the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer dives into the core pillars of living a healthy life, and discusses some of the ancestral principles that our bodies were designed to be exposed to. He shares his own experience with shifting to a primal lifestyle, and gives easily digestible nuggets of information that you can implement in your own routine to start shifting away from the modern lifestyle.   Michael Kummer is the founder of MK Supplements, a company with the goal of offering the highest-quality dietary supplements on the market, beginning with nature's ultimate multivitamin, grass-fed beef liver supplements. Beyond the world of supplements, Michael and his wife Kathy have made it their life's work to lead by example, adopting a lifestyle that includes an animal based diet.   What we discuss: [00:01:06] Why is the primal shift necessary? [00:02:34] One of the major milestones in Michael's health journey  [00:04:11] The importance of changing your diet      [00:07:36] Improve your life while being financially responsible  [00:10:14] Michael's brand, M.K. Supplements                                                                                                                                                                               Key Takeaways: Taking huge leaps towards improving your overall health isn't always necessary. Making small, achievable changes every day is a great way to improve your overall health and well-being. Those small changes can add up to big results over time, so consistency and dedication are key when it comes to making lasting changes.  There are many myths and misconceptions about health and wellness, such as the belief that certain foods or diets are the best for health, or that certain exercises will guarantee results. It is important to remember that everyone is different and what works for one person may not work for another.  Making certain changes in your lifestyle and bringing back some of the ancestral principles that our bodies were designed to be exposed to can be beneficial for your health and well-being. Incorporating physical activity, proper nutrition, and other holistic practices can help create a healthier lifestyle.  Find more from Michael:   Use code “primalshift” to save 15% on your order at https://shop.michaelkummer.com/ Website: https://michaelkummer.com/ Instagram: @mkummer82  

Here's the truth: Without sleep, you'll struggle to achieve optimal health. It doesn't matter how well you eat or how often you workout, if you don't sleep well, nothing else matters.    From boosting your energy levels to enhancing your cognitive abilities, sleep is the secret ingredient to your overall health and wellness. The problem is, most of us aren't getting the sleep we need.   Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer discusses the impact of quality sleep on our overall health and wellbeing. He also shares how simple actions, such as maintaining a consistent sleep and wake time, exposing yourself to natural sunlight, and minimizing exposure to artificial blue and green light frequencies, can make a significant difference to your sleep quality.   Tune in now for a step-by-step guide for building a healthy and sustainable sleep routine.   What we discuss: [00:01:20] Without quality sleep it's impossible to obtain optimal health  [00:03:13] Why you should be sleeping through the night [00:06:46] Why your brain function could decline without high quality sleep  [00:10:11] Other things that happen based on your circadian rhythm  [00:13:21] How to prepare for quality sleep [00: 24:13] Michael's favorite sleep aids                                                                                                                                                                               Key Takeaways: Sleep is not a waste of time or a period of inactivity. Instead, there are various important processes occurring within our bodies while we sleep. These include physical repair, cellular renewal, removal of damaged cells, and muscle tissue repair. Sleep also aids in memory consolidation and synaptic pruning.   Establishing a regular sleep schedule can greatly improve the quality of your sleep. By going to bed and waking up at approximately the same time every day, your body can regulate its internal clock, making it easier to fall asleep and wake up naturally. This simple practice can have a profound impact on your overall sleep health, and it doesn't cost any money to implement.   One common misconception about sleep is that some people can function effectively on minimal sleep, often claiming that five or six hours of sleep is sufficient for them. However, research suggests that most individuals require a minimum of seven hours of sleep to ensure optimal cognitive function and well-being.

There's a common misconception that if you're eating right and getting enough exercise, you're living a healthy lifestyle. But the truth is, there's more to optimizing your health than just diet and exercise, and understanding how to cover several different angles of your health is essential for living a primal lifestyle.   Welcome to another episode of the Primal Shift podcast, where host Michael Kummer shares an overview of the eight key primal shifts, or core principles, that make up a healthy lifestyle. He shares some of the misconceptions about optimizing your health, and why sometimes getting outside of your comfort zone is the key to thriving.  What we discuss: 00:01:42 Primal shift #1: Sleep 00:03:31 Primal shift #2: Nutrition 00:04:56 Primal shift #3: Exercise 00:06:01 Primal shift #4: Stress management 00:07:01 Primal shift #5: Environmental toxins 00:08:00 Primal shift #6: Hormesis 00:08:55 Primal shift #7: Belonging and tribalism 00:10:53 Primal shift #8: Reconnecting with nature                                                                                                                                                                             Key Takeaways: Prioritizing sleep is crucial for overall well-being and optimal health. Sleep allows our bodies to recover, restore, and consolidate memories, and without giving our bodies sufficient time to undergo these processes, we cannot expect to perform at our best physically or mentally the following day.  The purpose of exercise is to push your body beyond its comfort zone and subject it to a certain level of stress. By carefully selecting the right stressors through exercise, you can help your body develop resilience and become stronger. Reconnecting with nature is essential for overall health. For millions of years we walked barefoot, exposing ourselves to natural elements. Going outside barefoot for just a few moments a day can have a big impact on our well-being.

While applying topical products can certainly help to improve the appearance of your skin, nourishing your body with nutrient-rich foods can provide long-term benefits.Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Michael Kummer to discuss how the choices we make in our diet can have an impact on the health and appearance of our skin. We dive into the benefits of eating nose to tail, metabolic flexibility, and the importance of consuming organs for optimal nutrition. Michael Kummer is the founder of MK Supplements, a company with the goal of offering the highest-quality dietary supplements on the market, beginning with nature's ultimate multivitamin, grass-fed beef liver supplements. Beyond the world of supplements, Michael and his wife Kathy have made it their life's work to lead by example, adopting a lifestyle that includes an animal based diet.What we discuss:[00:04:13] Michael's journey to becoming a health and wellness entrepreneur [00:11:59] The carnivore diet and eating nose to tail[00:17:45] Fresh organs can be difficult to source and prepare[00:21:06] Why liver is considered nature's multivitamin[00:27:30] Eating organs can help bridge nutritional gaps[00:32:40] Bone matrix as a source of calcium and other minerals[00:44:12] Optimal lifestyle choices are crucial for skin healthKey Takeaways:One of the nutrients that the liver stores is vitamin A, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin that is necessary for the growth and repair of skin cells, therefore, it is essential to maintain a balanced diet that includes foods rich in vitamin A.Optimal lifestyle choices play a critical role in maintaining healthy skin. A balanced diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and stress management are all essential factors that contribute to healthy skin.Healthy skin is a reflection of a healthy body, and what we eat plays a crucial role in maintaining our skin's health. Our skin is the largest organ in our body and requires proper nutrients to function correctly. Eating a well-balanced diet and using supplements for additional support can help promote healthy skin.

I also recently came across Michael's fantastic website, which is full of thoughtful insights, such as five steps you can take immediately to dramatically improve your health and well-being. The five steps are: Avoid all seed and vegetable oils (and products that contain them). Avoid all processed carbs (and products that contain them). Consume predominantly meat and fat from responsibly-raised animals. Make organ meats a regular part of your diet. (If you don't like their taste, use freeze-dried organ meat capsules.)

[00:50] Avoid all seed and vegetable oils, processed carbs, grain-based products, consume meat and fat, organ meats, and limit your intake of plants. [02:50] Mike's athletic career in Austria framed his interest using in health and fitness. He recalls a coach that was pushing too much. [05:55] The mind is significantly more powerful than the body. At the beginning, Mike paid little attention to nutrition. [08:37] Mike operates by pushing through the pain as the result of the early coaching. Is that the best way? [10:14] Even in business and in parenting one should know when to push and when to back off. [13:55] How does Mike manage a conversation of challenge regarding his nutrition advice?

His family went paleo, His stomach problems disappeared. [34:42] Before working out, is it better to work out in a fasted state and then fuel? [42:42] Fasting works for some people depending on the workout regimen, time of day, amount of carbs consumed before. It's a very individual decision for what works best.  [45:47] Exercise, fasting and changing your diet can be stressors or are likely stressors to your body. If you are already stressed out, it's probably not a good day to fast. [47:46] Having evolved from the standard American diet, to paleo, then keto, then carnivore, is Mike thinking the is at the ultimate level? [52:01] How did Mike make the decision to home-school his kids? [56:34] Freeze dried organ meats are an important part of the nose to tail diet plan.

Joe De Sena is the founder and CEO of Spartan Race, with an unbelievable story. He grew up in Queens, NY, on the same street as some of the most notorious organized crime families in the city. As a result, he was exposed to the life of mobsters at a young age after starting a successful pool cleaning and maintenance business. He had enough success to get the attention of his mobster neighbor. Many of the stories he discussed in our discussion with him regarding his pool cleaning business led him to ultimately take a chance at starting Spartan Race. Joe's life story encapsulates blue-collar toughness - having run Bad Water, Ironman, and a 100-mile race all in the same week - and an amazing vision to push people to get the most out of their potential through Spartan Race. Joe has appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience and the Rich Roll Podcast, and also recently launched a show on CNBC called No Retreat.

Boyd Myers rarely says ‘no'. He is the type of person who runs a marathon and drinks a case of beer while doing it (yes, he did this). Boyd lives with a limitless perspective, saying ‘yes' to new challenges and getting every drop out of life. The cool thing about Boyd is he hasn't always had this perspective. After leaving the armed services and joining corporate America, Boyd packed on some extra weight and became the unhealthiest he's ever been. He decided he needed a change. After running 500 feet (yes, feet), he decided he needed something to train for - an Ironman. From there, the rest is history. Boyd has been training for, and demolishing different endurance events ever since from 100 milers to his most recent pursuit - a full-distance Ironman followed by a half-Ironman the next day (or a 210.9 mile swim, bike, and run). Boyd has a contagious mindset and zest for life and we hope you enjoy this episode!

In this episode, I am joined by Michael Kummer, a former professional track athlete turned CrossFitter. Michael is a healthy living enthusiast who helps people improve their health and wellbeing through his widely-read blog and popular YouTube channel.He shares his 5 core pillars for health which include:- Sleep- Nutrition- Exercise- Stress management- Limiting Environmental ToxinsThese are all important to maintain good health, but one thing you'll find interesting as he takes us through these pillars is his compelling argument that organ meats are one of the healthiest food sources humans can eat.Organ meats are excellent sources of essential micronutrients in much greater quantities than any other food. There is this belief that plants and fruits are healthy, but Michael dismisses that notion. The micronutrients in plants are not readily bioavailable as those in meats. From an evolutionary perspective, man has evolved to eat plants as a last resort due to this fact. They are an inferior source of nutrients. We also talk about the proper nutrition for kids and how to get them to eat healthy from a young age. This is a fascinating conversation that you'll love.

Ein sauberer Rundflug über das Photo Management Massiv wie es sich uns heute in der Mac und iOS Welt präsentiert. Nach kurzem Überflug über Apples iCloud Ansatz kreisen die drei Bruchpiloten lange über Dropbox-zentrischen Lösungen. Weitere Alternativen werden auch ÜBERflogen. Bevor wir einsteigen ins Thema Photo Management gibt’s von einem der beiden Baden-Württemberger einen Hinweis auf ichbinBW.de und @ichbinBW – wer diesem schönen Bundesland in auch nur irgendeiner Art und Weise zugetan ist, kann dort gerne einmal vorbeischauen bzw. selbst mitmachen. Lieber Fluggast, wenn dir das Gehörte gefällt oder dir Sorgenfalten auf die edle Stirn fabriziert, dann haben wir etwas für dich: iTunes Bewertungen. Follow-Up Da nun dem Lokalpatriotismus genug gefrönt wurde, werden sozusagen als Follow-Up die Schritterzähler der Crew verglichen. Sven triumphiert über alle anderen mit um die 18.000 Schritten - (welche hauptsächlich durch das Treten von Pedalen zu Stande gebracht worden sind, was ungeniert hier noch einmal der Fairness halber angemerkt wird von der Redaktion) -, dicht gefolgt von Patrick mit fast 12.000 Schritten. Andreas hat ja kein Wearable… zumindest nicht bis vor kurzen, denn der Gute hat die komplette Crew samt aller Passagiere an Board (unbeabsichtigt) hinters Licht geführt. Sein dunkles Geheimnis: Er hat doch ein Wearable, wenngleich das antike Schmuckstück bisher verstaubt, unauffindbar und vergessen in der zeitlerischen Villa sein dasein fristete, so befördert nun dieses Beweisfoto die hässliche Wahrheit ans Tageslicht: Link zum Bild Alles eine Frage der Kamera Andreas kommt ohne Extra-Hardware aus und schießt sein Fotos mit dem iPhone. Anbei eine kurze Liste seiner favorisierten Apps: ProCamera VSCO Cam Camera+ Damit jedoch nicht genug, denn auch KitCam und PhotoForge von GhostBird Software tummeln sich noch auf seinem iPhone, obgleich es diese Zwei nicht mehr im App Store gibt, da Yahoo! die kleine Softwareschmiede aufgekauft hat. Für Interessierte hier ein Artikel von iMore. Schaut man auf Patrick’s Gadgetpark, merkt man schnell, dass er ebenfalls ganz ohne Fotoapparat auskommt – zum schießen seiner Bilder benutzt er ausschließlich die Standardkamera-App, welche Apple mit auf’s iPhone geschnürt hat. Dies macht er nach eigenen Angaben aus dem einfachen Grund, “da man die App vom Lockscreen aus so schnell erreichen kann”. Zum editieren auf iOS benutzt er dann, je nach geplanten Verwendungszweck, eine seiner 48 Apps zur Fotobearbeitung. Sven mimt auch in dieser Folge wieder die Extrawurst und hat als einziger eine richtige Kamera… und zwar besteht sein Fotografen-Suspensorium aus einer Sony RX100 (welche mittlerweile auch als MKII verfügbar ist). Um eine offene Frage aus der Show direkt an dieser Stelle zu klären: Ja Sven, deine Kamera kann auch Raw Dateien schießen. Und da der Link zum Sony Store ins Leere läuft gibt es anbei gerade diesen Link zu einem passendem Artikel. Zu guter letzt fotografiert Sven aber auch mit seinem iPhone 5 – und um seiner Liebe zur Fotografie genügend Ausdruck zu verleihen, geschieht das trotz Staubfussel in der Linse. Er nutzt dabei die Stock App und Instagram. Sven’s Bilder kommen übrigens mit dem Camera Kit erst einmal auf’s iPad und danach relativ zügig auf den Mac. Damit sind wir auch schon bei unserem nächsten Unterpunkt angelangt…. iPhoto, Aperture und Lightroom Dieses Kapitel wurde in unserer Pilotengesprächsgruppe als “The good, the bad & the ugly.” untertitelt. Sven beginnt den Flug über den verwilderten Wesen und plaudert aus dem Nähkästchen. Der geneigte Zuhörer erfährt hier warum er von iPhoto zu einem weitaus flexibleren System gewechselt ist und was ihn an iPhoto gestört hat. Was sich als Hauptkritikpunkt herauskristallisiert hat war, dass insbesondere wenn man mit mehreren Nutzern diese datenbankbasierte Anwendung nutzen möchte, kommt es unweigerlich zu Problemen. Nichtsdestotrotz, die positiven Eigenschaften von der “all-Apple-Lösung” mit iPhoto werden hier von Sven nicht unter den digitalen Teppich gekehrt, sondern ebenfalls kurz benannt und anhand einiger Schilderungen von Familienfeiern zum Besten gegeben. Den nächsten Gaul sattelt Patrick und treibt den Photo-Western-Epos voran indem er seine kurze Historie von iPhoto, über Lightroom hin zu Aperture vorträgt. Besonders geholfen hat im wohl zur Anfangszeit ein Artikel von Michael Kummer, anhand dessen er die Unterschiede zwischen Ordnern, Projekten, Alben und Smart-Albums in Aperture kennengelernt hat. Wer dahingegen wissen möchte warum Lightroom besser in der Bearbeitung von Fotos ist und warum Aperture trotzdem super für’s Organisieren ist, der sollte sich bei The Sweet Setup The best photo editing app for the Mac durchlesen (denn der Artikel ist Ubercast approved). iCloud und Photostreams stellten sich als kleiner Kritikpunkt für alle drei Piloten heraus. Sven nutzt sie nicht mehr, Andreas ebenfalls nicht und Patrick plant auch der iCloud den Rücken zuzukehren. De facto gilt es festzuhalten: Photostreams an sich funktionieren gut im Apple Kosmos, auch wenn die Piloten diese Flugroute allem Anschein nach nicht bevorzugen. Das iCloud nicht von jedermann als komfortabel empfunden wird, wird festgemacht daran, dass es zwar gute und sinnvolle Möglichkeiten gibt, zum Beispiel geteilte Photostreams zu nutzen, aber, dass es eben auch viele Limitierungen gibt. Genau diese können bei unbedarfter Nutzung zu einen bösen Erwachen führen. Deshalb spendiert der Ubercast auf seiner Bordkarte an dieser Stelle ein paar Links zu wichtigen Supportdokumenten von Apple, welche die Hard-Facts angeben und zeigen was genau fototechnisch mit iCloud geht und was nicht: Apple: iCloud: Begrenzungen von “Mein Fotostream” und der iCloud-Fotofreigabe Apple: iCloud: Häufig gestellte Fragen zu “Mein Fotostream” Apple: iCloud - All deine Inhalte auf all deinen Geräten. Zusammenfassung der Limitierungen: 25.000 Bilder monatlich, 10.000 pro Tag und 1.000 pro Stunde. geteilte Streams max.: 5.000 Bilder Videos, max. 5 Minuten “Mein Fotostream” = immer die letzten 1.000 Bilder für max. 30 Tage Kritisiert wurde von Patrick, dass Apple als nicht sehr transparent zu werten ist, was das Thema iCloud und Photostreams angeht, da einfach zu viel Suchmaschinendrescherei von Nöten sei, um die reine Basisinformation zu finden. Eine übersichtliche und von allen Plattformen aus einfach zu erreichende Anlaufstelle steht somit auf der Wunschliste. Im wilden Westen geht die Sonne unter. Sven und Andreas folgen abwechselnd mit Lob und Kritik zum Thema Events in iPhoto. Von iPhoto zu Dropbox Tja, nun geht es ans’ Eingemachte. Svens Workflow wird vorgestellt. Gleich erfahren gespitzte Ohren wie man denn nun eigentlich den Umstieg von der iPhoto Datenbank hin zur selbstgekleisterten Ordnerstruktur schafft. Nach Svens einführenden Worten wollte Patrick ihm ganz generös das alleinige Lob hinsichtlich seiner Pionierarbeit was diesen Workflow betrifft zugestehen…. Doch Sven - ganz Gentleman - besteht darauf, sich dieses Lob mit Federico Viticci von MacStories zu teilen (Moving From iPhoto To Dropbox), da sein eigener Artikel - “Exporting your iPhoto Library to Dropbox” - lediglich ein paar Tage vorher erschienen ist. Was er nicht weiß ist, dass Patrick nur die 2014er Version von Federicos Workflow sich parat gelegt hatte für die Show Notes, sonst hätte es von Anfang an ein Doppel-Lob geregnet. Ein Faux-Pas das ins Bodenlose reicht. De facto heißt das: Beide haben es super gemacht und unser UberPilot Sven erklärt nun noch einmal für die Lesemuffel, was die Kernpunkte sind, sowie worauf es ankommt beim Export. Was den Werkzeuggürtel angeht, denn Sven benutzt hat, so sind zum einen PhoShare, eine auf Python basierende App, die spezialisiert ist auf’s Exportieren (und welche seit Oktober 2012 nicht mehr weiterentwickelt wird, aber dennoch selbst heute funktioniert, sowohl mit iPhoto als auch Aperture). Zweitens, fand das EXIF Tool, eine Perl Library zum Übertragen der EXIF Information (aus iPhoto zur exportierten Datei hin) den weg in die Exportierwerkzeugkiste. Als Update zu seinem fast schon in die Jahre gekommenen Workflow verweist Sven auf die Dropbox Mac App, welche seit September 2013 nun auch als iPhoto Importer fungieren kann: Wie kopiere ich meine Fotos von iPhoto in Dropbox? - Dropbox The Dropbox Blog: Save your screenshots in Dropbox Das Amen gibt es danach von Andreas, denn er ist zufrieden mit der reinen Apple Lösung, wobei Patrick den großen Datenbank-Exodus noch vor sich hat. Letzterer merkt aber an, dass er das Ziel einer Ordnerstruktur basierend auf Jahres- und Monatszahlen wie Co-Pilot Sven demnächst anfliegen wird. Dropbox Photo Management Hier und jetzt wird geklärt, wie man die vielen Fotos am einfachsten auf dem Mac managed, wenn man sie denn erst einmal befreit hat aus den stählernen Klauen einer Datenbank. Auch zu diesem Thema findet man auf Sven’s Blog SimplicityBliss den hochwertigen und hausgemachten Senf aus dem Hause Fechner: Photo Management Workflow. Zum Nachkochen dieser köstliche Rezeptur sind folgenden Zutaten nötig: Hazel zum Einsortieren von Bildern und Aussortieren von speziellen Dateien wie Screen Shots ein iOS Produkt aus dem Hause Apple die passende App zum automatischen Upload der iOS Bilder im Hintergrund, z.B. das hochgelobte CameraSync welches hier auch näher vorgestellt wird. Feinheiten wie das manuelle Aussortieren und das “Einsortieren” per Drag’n’Drop oder auch gerne per Alfred bzw. Launchbar, welche der versierte Nutzer gerne benutzt, können der mündlich übermittelten Beschreibung im Podcast entnommen werden. Hausmädchen Hazel übernimmt dann den Rest und erstellt die entsprechenden Jahres und Monats Ordner, benennt die Files um und sortiert diese dann an Ort und Stelle ein. Andreas lässt sich nicht lumpen und setzt nach mit einem ähnlichen Workflow, welcher sich aber in spezifischen Details von Svens holder Vorgehensweise unterscheidet. Was Patrick besonders freut ist die Erwähnung von einer der ersten CameraSync-Alternativen: PhotoSync. Zudem hat Hazel bei unserem gewieften bayrischem Langzeit-Neuschwaben Andreas einen besonderen Verwendungszweck: Instagram Photos sortieren. Die Begeisterung um PhotoSync war aber dann doch zu viel. Sven sieht sofort in der App einen potentiellen Konkurrenten für sein heiß geliebtes CameraSync (–Nein! Nicht wirklich… aber man muss ja ein wenig theatralische Spannung aufbauen, wenn einem schon die redaktionelle Vollmacht innewohnt–) und erläutert uns dessen umfangreiches Featureset wie z.B., dass es auf bestimmte Wi-Fi’s und Locations limitiert werden kann. Feine Sache in der Tat. Die soeben erwähnte Background-Sync Funktion fördert eine tragische Anekdote von Andreas zu Tage, in welcher es drei Faktoren gibt: Besagter und bereits erwähnter iCloud-Sync, die Stadt Wien und eine 1 GB Datenflat spielen eine tragende Rolle. Solidarisches Mitleid gibt es daraufhin direkt mundgerecht verpackt von Co-Pilot Patrick, welchen exakt dasselbe schicksalhafte Szenario ereilte, bis auf das bei ihm der Faktor Wien durch eine andere Variable zu ersetzten ist. Die Moral: Macht keine 3G-Syncs im Hintergrund (oder geht in die Settings.app und kontrolliert, welche Apps das machen dürfen), sonst brennen euch die verpulverten MB’s/GB’s/TB’s ein Loch ins Portemonnaie. Fotos betrachten, aber so richtig Unbound stellte sich für Sven zum Betrachten auf allen Systemen, ob Mac, iPhone oder iPad als Favorit aus. Von dort aus beamt Sven auch ungefragt Urlaubsbilder auf sämtliche ihm zur Verfügung stehende Apple TV’s – deshalb ist seine Badehosenssammlung mittlerweile in ganz Stuttgart bekannt. Was Sven an Unbound besonders mag ist das funktionierende und zu justierende Caching. Andere Piloten, andere Favoriten. Patrick’s Spitzenreiter kommt aus dem Hause Synology und trägt den simplen Namen DS Photo+. Diese App glänzt ebenfalls mit Caching aka Offline Alben, sowie einer Auto-Upload Funktion. Nebenbei erklärt er seinen angestrebten Workflow, welcher verblüffende Ähnlichkeit hat mit jenem von seinen Co-Piloten. Der feine Unterschied: Als finales Reiseziel fliegt er seinen NAS von Synology. Allerdings vergisst er im Eifer des Gefechts ein wenig darüber zu erzählen, warum dies sein favorisierte Betrachter ist, dafür sagt er warum der Dropbox dafür nicht in Betracht zieht… und das sogar in Zahlen… altes Matheass: Pro: $9.99 pro Monat (100 GB) Business: $15 pro Monat pro User (1.000 GB) - Minimum: 5 Benutzer was $75 monatlich bzw. jährlich $759 entspricht Bei der heimischen Fotobibliothek aus Berlin wäre also die Dropbox voll. Was ein richtiger Pilot ist, findet aber immer den Weg zurück zur eigentlichen Flugroute. Patrick gefällt an der Synology Lösung das Web-Interface mit seinen Einstellungsmöglichkeiten (sowie für den Admin, als auch für die Familie, welche die Seite ansurft), sowie die Palette an mobilen Anwendungen, welche konstant weiterentwickelt werden für iOS, Android und das Windows Phone. Erwähnenswert ist, dass die iOS Unterstützung wohl am umfangreichsten ist. Für Interessierte, die damit liebäugeln sich auch einen NAS zu kaufen gibt es an dieser Stelle ein Link zur Live Demo – leider kann man gerade die Photo Station nicht sehr ausgiebig testen (aber man bekommt einen guten Einblick in das von Synology verwendete System, welches sehr benutzerfreundlich ist): DSM Testserver. Das Synology für die Photo Station auch eine sehenswerte Blog-Funktion anbietet und das eine rudimentäre Unterstützung für das Anbinden einer iPhoto- und Aperture Bibliothek bereits vorhanden ist (z.B. in Kombination mit Plex) vergisst der sprunghafte Pilot wieder zu erwähnen. Als Tagträumer mit notorischem Geldmangel wirft Patrick auch die Alternative zum eigenen NAS in den Raum: Mac mini hosting and Colocation. Die gewohnte Plattform (OS X) dort bildet eine sehr angenehme Arbeitsumgebung zum Verwalten und Automatisieren (und ist wie Sven nebenbei anmerkt wohl als genauso NSA-Kugelsicher zu betrachten wie ein NAS). Finder Photo Management Nach so viel Hazel wollen die Piloten aber auch noch einmal ein Loblied an die große Handwerkskunst der Scriptschreiberei zum besten geben. Für so ein MacMini in der Wolke Setup, aber auch für ein reines Finder-Foto-Management bieten sich die folgenden erwähnenswerten Links an: Casey Liss: I’m no doctor, so I built on what he did., + Casey’s Skripte hier auf GitHub. Dr. Drang: Photo management via the Finder 512 Pixels: How to import images from Photo Stream to Dropbox folder with AppleScript Das Thema Management neigt sich dem Ende zu und auf Svens Zunge brennt noch eine Frage. In plagt die Neugier und er will von Andreas das potentielle Endziel seiner Fotoverwaltung erfahren. Dieser gibt ebenfalls Dropbox als mögliche Lösung an, da dort alles noch einen Tacken zuverlässiger funktioniert als mit Photostream. Einwurf. Um beim Thema zu bleiben und gleichzeitig von selbigen abzulenken. Für die Stalker unter euch hier unsere Instagram-Profile: Sven: @smplctyblss Patrick: @_patrickwelker Andreas: @zettt Web Services Everpix. Da es diesen populären Service nicht mehr gibt, unternimmt Sven einen kleinen historischen Ausflug mit euch und hat ein paar interessante Links mit im Reisegepäck: Die Abschiedsnachricht auf dem Everpix Blog: We Gave It Our All… Eine Analyse von The Verge: Out of the picture: why the world’s best photo startup is going out of business Das offizielle GitHub Repository von Everpix: Everpix · GitHub und dort im Speziellen die tiefen Einblicke der Everpix-Intelligence Files mit allen Geschäftsdaten und einem Meer an Details. Der Trauermodus ist bei Patrick ausgestellt, da Everpix wohl nichts für ihn war. Er zitiert munter aus seiner Email an den Developer warum es zwischen ihm und Everpix nicht gefunkt hat. Da der passionierte Pilot Patrick (32) gerade am Reden ist, fällt ihm noch ein anderer Web Service ein, welchen er einmal ausprobiert hat und der wie Everpix “out of order” ist, wenn auch durch eine Akquise: Origami. Origami hatte den Anspruch “für die Familie” gemacht zu sein und war von den Machern von Everyme - The Private Social Network. Aufgekauft wurde die Plattform von einem Konkurrenten (FamilyLeaf). Ein alter König names Flickr wird am Rande besprochen und Andreas fragt (kritisch) in die Runde inwieweit die Crew Facebook, Google+ und Twitter für den Bilderupload in Betracht ziehen. Die Co-Piloten begleichen die schuldigen Antworten natürlich umgehend. Um die Web Services abzuschließen stellt Sven noch einmal die aktuellen Everpix Nachfolger vor: Loom wird gehandelt als Everpix und Photostream Alternative. Benötigt man mehr als die 5 kostenlosen GB, so kann man sich über die Kosten hier informieren (weitere 5 GB können mit Referals dazu gewonnen werden). Die offiziellen Tarife sind in 50 ($50/Jahr), 100 ($90/Jahr) und 250 GB ($150/Jahr) unterteilt. Loom, wird als komplettes iOS Management & Sharing Tool (mit einer ausgefeilteren UI als bei anderen iOS Alternativen) gehandelt und wir legen euch die Review bei The Sweet Setup ans Herz, wenn ihr jetzt ganz hellhörig geworden seid. Eine weitere Alternative bietet euch PictureLife, dessen Stärken eher auf dem Desktop zu finden sind. Außerdem hat es eine iPhoto (Alben & Ratings) und Aperture (wie iPhoto plus RAW und EXIF sync) Integration. Es unterstützt Video Uploads, kommt mit RAW Support daher und erkennt Duplikate. PictureLife hilft auf dem Mac per Menubar App, hat eine Web App und iOS Clients. Die Preisstruktur ist ähnlich der von Loom strukturiert und man kann sich hier näher informieren. SmugMug fand Patrick auch nicht schlecht, aber diese Web App hat es nicht in die Show geschafft. Als das Thema Web Services abgeschlossen wird, fließen noch ein paar Tränen, da alles was sich derzeit auf dem Markt befindet auf einzelne Nutzer zugeschnitten ist und nicht für eine Nutzung durch mehrere Anwender (Stichwort Familie) gedacht ist. Carousel von Dropbox Anknüpfend an die nörgelorientierte Krisenstimmung des vorherigen Themas streut Andreas Salz in die Wunde und will wissen, ob seine Co-Piloten etwas an der neuen Dropbox App Carousel stört. Umgehend, also innerhalb eine Nanosekunde, klagt ihm Patrick ohne mit der Wimper zu zucken sein Leid, welches er schon seit Einführung der um die Fotobetrachtungsfunktion erweiterten Dropbox Web App mit sich rumträgt. Auf einen Punkt gebracht: Er hätte gerne die Möglichkeit einen (oder mehrere) Ordner zu spezifizieren, welche alles Foto-Ordner erfasst werden (im Gegensatz zum Status Quo, wo fast jede einzelne Bilddatei angezeigt wird). Sven stimmt in diesem Punkt leidgeplagt zu und glättet auch zeitgleich mit Andreas die Wogen. Mit fachkundigen, geschickten Handgriffen heilen beide die offenen Wunden des digital angeschossenen Co-Piloten. Wichtig²: Offizielle Stellungnahme des Ubercasts: Wir LIEBEN Dropbox (ja… sogar in all caps), deswegen sind wir auch so schnell bei 200 Puls – es ist einfach wie bei einem Familienbesuch. Als krönender Abschluss wird im Senkflug noch der erste Testlauf im Carousel aus dem Hause Dropbox besprochen. Die Vorteile wie die direkte Integration mit der Dropbox liegen auf der Hand. Die sehenswerte und durchaus schöne Zeitnavigation wird gelobt, ebenso das einfache Sharing. Was allerdings wieder ins Visier genommen wird, ist der automatische Background Upload, da dieser nicht so ausgefeilt ist und als einzige Konfigurationsmöglichkeit zurzeit “Wifi only” oder “Wifi and cellular” mit an Board bringt. Sven führt noch einen Vergleich zu Unbound an, da man mit dieser App flexibler ist (z.b. ist das Caching kontrollierbar/beeinflussbar) und nur ein Verzeichnis in der Dropbox zur Verfügung hat (was wie wir festgestellt haben für so manch einen eine willkommene Limitierung ist). Ansonsten gibt’s beim Ubercast nichts gegen Dropbox zu sagen, im Gegenteil wir sind gespannt was als nächstes auf dem Programm steht. In Spenderlaune? Wir haben Flattr und PayPal am Start und würden uns freuen.
