Myles Snider is a chef, real food enthusiast, and creator of 80/20 Cooking. He chats with Dr. Anthony Gustin about the benefits of intuitive cooking and their shared food philosophies.   As you'll hear, intuitive cooking is the exact opposite of following step-by-step recipes.   It's about mastering the basics and using all your senses to freestyle healthy, nourishing meals that make the most of local, seasonally available, fresh ingredients.   So in this episode, Myles and Dr. Gustin dish about food shopping tips, biodynamic farming, and why “almost any food can be healthy.” They even brainstorm a few reasons for why you feel hungry and unsatisfied after eating at the best restaurants.    Other topics include: The difference between well-cooked food and a nourishing meal Why stressing about food macros may do more harm than good How your location and season naturally influence your eating preferences  Foods Myles avoids  Using high-quality condiments (like oils, vinegars, and the best ketchup!) to add excitement to simple staple meals  How to transform “unhealthy” foods into nutritious noshes The magic and science of open-fire cooking (and why it's the best cooking skill)   Resources mentioned in this episode: Myles Snider's 80/20 Cooking courses Myles' Twitter and Instagram

There was something about the process that made him fall in love with food. The art. The freedom. The ability to speak the universal language of flavor. Unlike most people with degrees in Economics from Fordham, Myles graduated college without complete conviction in pursuing a career on Wall Street. While the opportunity was certainly there for Myles, he felt called to pursue a different path. That path wasn't conventional, but it felt right. His untapped curiosity for the world of food led Myles to the rich culinary world of Mexico. He spent months studying and training in the kitchen with some of the more talented chefs in Mexico, developing a deep appreciation for the art of creating simple and delicious food through timeless traditions & techniques. He was immediately inspired. As Myles refined his skills in Michelin-star kitchens in Mexico, his appreciation for the elements of quality food shifted. How can you take something as simple as a taco and create an experience that will live with someone for the rest of their life? It's a sensory piece of art that only food can provide. It wasn't simply the food that spoke to him. Myles saw what food meant to culture and bringing people together too. It's as if good food had a way of bridging two separate experiences, two separate lives, and in a moment, turning them into one shared connection. It's this element of cooking that Myles brought back with him to Austin. As you'll here in the podcast, Myle's experience in Mexico taught him that food is a bridge for human connection. It inspired him to share his knowledge and love for food with friends and family. But that's not all he was sharing with them. The meals and dishes he made are all part of a story. A journey in developing an intuition for life and exploring creativity. A story about where you've been, what you've seen, and the taste for things that inspire you. Our conversation with our friend Myles explored the art of food, the power of creativity, and the process of not only finding, but also pursuing, a life you love. Myles is one of the most cool & inspiring guys we know and it was an absolute pleasure to share this conversation with him.

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.

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!

We met Econoalchemist in a small town in western Colorado back in July. Econo, as we call him, studies bitcoin and its applications in society, but he also helps explain how people can start using the groundbreaking technology today. His experience in bitcoin reflects his philosophies around sovereignty, personal responsibility, and freedoms. In Colorado, Econo spoke about the ethos of bitcoin and how it relates to the struggles ranchers confront daily. His ‘why bitcoin matters?' presentation quickly evolved from what bitcoin can do for society to what bitcoin can do for ranchers. And he eventually told the special story of one rancher in Colorado he had met over a decade prior named Vern Wagner. Vern battled legal and financial claims against him from the state from 2003 until 2018. The story Econo told sheds light on several topics relating to the food system, particularly the government's role in controlling food production, abuses of power, and defending yourself against the state. As you'll hear in our podcast with Econo, Vern spent 15 years fighting for his livelihood and managed to stand his ground. But, could bitcoin have secured him against this abuse of power from the State? What was the cost of all of the litigation imposed on Vern by the State?

**SFuels saved us during this race and single-handedly got us to the finish line on Saturday. We're looking forward to continuing to experiment with low-carb endurance with a 70.3 Ironman in Waco in October. Last Saturday, August 22nd, The Meat Mafia drove to Houston to test our meaty willpower and physical limits. And boy, did we get more than we asked for. We ran the Habanero 100k Race, appropriately named since it starts at noon in Houston (about 100 degrees at the start). As you'll hear us describe, the race coordinators also thought it would be a good idea to lay down thousands of pounds of sand all over the course to make it more challenging.Luckily for us, we fueled really well (thank you SFuels) and felt great through the first portion of the race!

In the winter of 2022, I had the pleasure of visiting Roam Ranch to attend a Bison Harvest. On that day, I met Taylor and Katie, and quickly became intrigued by their story of what brought them to Fredericksburg, Texas, to start (of all things) a Bison Ranch. The story begins with Taylor and Katie competing as competitive vegan endurance athletes and evolves from there. Within a short period, Taylor and Katie ran into serious health concerns and, based on a recommendation from a doctor, started eating meat. Their health troubles quickly went away, but new problems presented themselves. The couple had grown so aligned with their vegan identity they had started a successful vegan food company. If their community heard the news of them switching to eating meat, they'd be crushed. Taylor and Katie knew what they needed to do and the rest, as they say, is history.Here's what we covered in this episode:Converting from a vegan to an animal-based dietDeciding to sell to General Mills and start Force of NatureCreating a food system for optimal human and planet healthBuilding a legacy of land stewardship by sharing the message of regenerative agricultureLaunching his new podcast at Force of Nature called “Where Hope Grows”SPONSORS:Optimal Carnivore: Use the code "MEATMAFIA" to save 10% on all productsLiver is hard to come by and the quality, taste, and convenience make it challenging for most people to source properly.

He earned his PhD in Kinesiology and Community Health, received post-doctoral training from Washington University in St. Louis, and then joined a research team at Duke to study primary compounds (so mostly macronutrients and vitamins), secondary compounds (phytochemical, antioxidants, & polyphenols), and the molecular relationship these compounds have with the human body. He’s now focusing his research on agricultural practices as they related to human health to uncover some of the most forward-thinking research as it relates to creating a more robust food system.

Kate Kavanaugh grew up eating a plant-based diet but turned to an animal-based diet to remedy her health problems. Now, Kate owns Western Daughters Butcher Shoppe in Denver, Colorado, and operates a regenerative farm in New York. Her butcher shop opened in 2013 and it’s a whole-animal butcher shop that sources 100% grass-fed and grass-finished beef and lamb from regenerative farms and pasture-raised pork and chicken. She’s using her farm in New York to experiment with raising low-PUFA pork and chickens. The Meat Mafia Podcast is a reader-supported publication.
