In this conversation, Dr. Sam Sigoloff interviews Renee, who shares her transformative journey through severe autoimmune diseases and her remarkable recovery through dietary changes, particularly the carnivore diet. She discusses her struggles with multiple health issues, including gastroparesis and chronic pain, and how a shift to a meat-based diet led to significant improvements in her health and well-being. The conversation highlights the importance of nutrition in managing autoimmune conditions and the personal empowerment that comes from listening to one's body.

Summary: In this episode, Justin, Adam, and Senior Staff Writer Heidi Chaya explore various topics about preparing unusual meats, fish, and foragables. They share personal experiences with unique culinary practices, discuss the cultural significance of different foods, and introduce a new podcast series focused on community engagement in wild food practices. The conversation highlights the importance of sustainability, creativity in cooking, and the joy of trying new and unconventional foods. In this engaging conversation, they explore the world of unusual and often misunderstood foods, from bluefish to foraged mushrooms and cultural delicacies. They discuss the perception of 'trash fish', the thrill of foraging, and the surprising edibility of various plants. The conversation emphasizes the importance of having an open mind toward food and encourages listeners to embrace culinary adventures beyond conventional grocery store offerings. - Leave a Review of the Podcast - Buy our Wild Fish and Game Spices Guest: Heidi Chaya Takeaways: Foraging can start in your own backyard. Pemmican is a versatile and sustainable food. Cultural perspectives on food can vary widely. Trying unusual foods can be a fun adventure. Wild game can be prepared in many creative ways. Community engagement is key in wild food practices. Eating predators can change your perception of meat. Roadkill can be ethically harvested in some states. Bluefish is often discarded but can be delicious. Cooking with wild ingredients can be an art form. Bluefish can be delicious when prepared correctly. Many fish considered 'trash' are actually tasty. Foraging can lead to surprising edible finds. Mushrooms are a popular foraged item, especially in fall. Edible plants are often overlooked in urban areas. Cultural perceptions of food can limit culinary experiences. Wild food can supplement diets and reconnect us with nature. Trying unusual foods can be a rewarding experience. Open-mindedness is key to enjoying diverse cuisines. Food experiences can vary greatly based on cultural context.

Sure, sending under prepared colonists with not enough food into a pretty tight food economy is going to be dicey, but how bad could it get? War bad my friends. War bad.But as far as my little history brain is concerned - this is the first real big energy war of the Americas.

We asked TORRES WEBB "what is science to you?" which lead to a conversation about fish traps & cosmic cycles, the harm terra nullius has done to Indigenous Science, the science of earth ovens, conciliation over reconciliation, Indigenous methodologies and climate change, a strength-based education, and DNA connections to the Earth!

SHOWNOTES: Tobacco Teachings: - Often, when tobacco is offered or smoked, it is ceremonial tobacco. Which means, it is organic (without all those nasty chemicals you find in cigarettes) and therefore is nice to the land when you make an offering with it, or smoke it. - Ceremonial tobacco also means it is grown and harvested “in a good way”, which means there is ceremony and reciprocity involved in the tobacco planting and harvesting. - Tobacco is used in many communities as a sacred medicine, and as we learned here, even as far away as Torres Strait! With the similarities, there will be differences, so please be humble, and ask about the local processes for offering and harvesting.

Pemmican Week - Part 1 - the intro. (Part 2 comes in a later season)It's a favorite food for a variety of American Fad diets that cost a lot to follow. Yet it has a skilled and knowledge filled past, along with its own origin story. Learn what pemmican is, why we call it that, and some wicked foreshadowing as you learn how it's about to turn the prairies of the Americas upside down. Oh yeah, and I make a wild leap of logic about the sexism of European translation of the Cree language. I sure know how to provide fun party conversation ideas. Anyway, learn about salmon pemmican and the origin of modern American Army C-rations, if not MRE's.

ORN Patrick Timpone show notes 11/9/22 When we put attention somewhere, that's where we are. Learning from direct perception rather than a book. More awareness of what is. All politics is performance art. Best they can do is leave us alone. Predicted red wave didn't happen. A bust for sanity. Most people haven't awakened enough to realize the socialist Marxist globalists are destroying the country. The majority of Americans are with them and are fast asleep. Will every failing metric continue? We don't change until we are so miserable we can't stand it anymore. Forget everything about the way you think it is. Give up old beliefs. Go inside, meet spiritual masters and angels. If you understand the biomechanics of the body, you'll realize lifting weights and jogging is a waste of time. Video demonstration of using X3 bands.

Parasites come in us to clean stuff up. They serve a purpose. Is it beneficial to kill them? Listener asks about Grass-finished vs. Grain-finished beef. How much difference does the grain make? What about the possibility of antibiotics and hormones? Price difference? If you don't want to kill anything and you believe you can be a vegetarian, will your consciousness keep you healthy? Probably yes if you add eggs, butter, and cheese as a source of animal-based fat. X3 Bands comes with videos about how to use them. Use slow and controlled movement, never losing tension on the band. Count reps and track them. Do every exercise until you come to complete failure. Focusing on a painful part of the body makes the pain worse. Focus on a particular muscle strengthens it.

In this episode of GoGreenfields, River and Terran are super surprised to receive a wild mystery box.  Contained within is one of the biggest challenges they've ever faced.  The two venture off into the wilderness armed with only basic survival gear and the promise that they will happen upon guides along the way as they explore what bushcraft really means. There are many skills that were further developed during this adventure.  River and Terran learned more about navigating with the use of a compass in the wild.  They were challenged to assist in the care of serious wounds while in the bush.  The co-hosts experienced what it would take to find and secure their own food source, and were taught how to prepare the meat in multiple ways for preservation purposes.  Bonus Footage In the bonus footage, River and Terran walk through the process of making pemmican jerky from wild game. They used a fresh sheep that the boys learned how to properly honor, field dress, butcher and prepare themselves! Wild game like this makes for excellent jerky or pemmican if you use the right spices and preparation techniques. Pemmican is a great choice for wilderness adventures because dried protein and rendered fats are highly stable, so the food source is handy to carry in a backpack and will keep for a very long time.

Pulverize the jerky in the food processor or blender until it becomes powder. Render half a pound of fat in a cast iron pan by cooking it slowly over super-low heat until the fat stops bubbling. (River and Terran melted down Bel Campo beef suet to use as their fatty liquid). Slowly add fat to the powder meat and berries. Pour just enough so that the fat soaks into the powder. Once it firms, cut it into bars, form into bricks, or roll it into balls.    *this stuff caramelizes particularly well for making jerky or pemmican, or any meat dish, for that matter.

After a two week break, I come back to Canadian history and a look at a war fought between two fur trading companies that few people know about: The Pemmican War! E-mail: crwbaird@gmail.com Patreon: www.patreon.com/bairdo Website: http://canadaehx.blogspot.ca  

Daniela and Jake don their parkas in this episode and travel to Antarctica. Were while eating some Pemmican and Bannock they search for a lost expedition. They trip over a stone, and have a closer look, and see that it's not just any stone. But the top of a pyramid. Could this be the Lost Civilization of Atlantis?

In this episode, we make a batch of pemmican. Pemmican was adopted from Native Americans by early trappers and explorers in North America. In my opinion, it's just about the perfect backcountry food. We talk about some history, specifically the voyageurs who paddled canoes from Montreal far into the interior of North America, bringing supplies to the trappers, and transporting bundles of furs back to Montreal. We also get to talk about beavers (the primary target of most of the fur trapping of the time), how they impact the environment, how things have changed in their absence, and how they're being restored to parts of their former range. Of course, we also make a batch of pemmican, so I'll tell you how I do that, and also why I think it's the perfect backcountry food.

In the second decade of the 19th century the Hudsons Bay Company and the Northwest Company squared off for control of the lucrative fur trade. Things got very violent.

In this special episode, NBT client Ryan Baxter takes over the mic to ask Dr Tommy Wood, MD, PhD, some excellent questions around fuelling for Obstacle Course Racing (OCR). Whilst Tommy’s answers are somewhat specific to OCR, all athlete may find some helpful tips here. Below are the questions that Ryan asked, and a summary of Tommy’s response. Q: Diet can be like politics or religion, how do you effectively communicate your ideas about how athletes should fuel? Be honest about the fact that there is more than one way to skin the cat Start with real food - eliminations and diet subtypes are secondary It’s OK to supplement if needed Q: What is the most common problem you see when it comes to nutrition and athletes? Undereating and underfuelling Worrying too much about the minutiae Thinking they can eat whatever they like because they exercise Focusing too much on supplements without wanting to get the basics right You need to figure out if you’re somebody that should worry *more* or less about their nutrition Most of the people I work with often need to worry less Over-restriction Most “average” people need to worry more Q: As far as day to day nutrition what do you think that should look like? Any specific macro recommendations? This assumes no goal for changes in body composition Eat 120-160g of protein per day, in 3-4 meals For OCR athletes, I’d eat at least 1g/lb carbohydrate per day Depends on intensity and can be cycled by day The rest should come from fat, from whole food sources Q: Chris Masterjohn just posted two videos [1, 2] on fueling athletic performance with carbs vs fats.  My overall interpretation of his analysis was that he feels that if you are doing intense exercise you need to be fueling with carbs.  What are your thoughts on the carbs vs fats debate. Masterjohn has nicely presented the evidence to answer a question that should be obvious but sadly has generated a lot of debate. Simplistically, you need to right fuel for the given exercise or intensity, and if you want to be regularly performing at glycolytic activities, you should be eating carbohydrates. You can still do glycolytic work when restricting carbohydrates, and it may help to mitigate the downregulation of glycolytic pathways, but your absolute performance will probably drop. If you’re restricting carbohydrates, *why* are you doing it? Metabolic health? If so, focus on that rather than performance. “Fat adaptation”? Can be achieved whilst also eating carbohydrates! Fat oxidation rates increase with VO2Max. Q: Our team is very diverse both in age range and fitness.  We have people who are in their teens and up and we have people who are beginners to those who race in the elite class.  Do you have recommendations about how to someone might go about finding the right nutrition for themselves? An appropriate (and good) multivitamin is usually a good idea Start with the rough recommendations above Older people (40-50+) may need more protein If still hungry, eat more! If poor recovery, or weight loss despite not feeling hungry Eat more carbohydrates Increase calorie density of foods If regular GI symptoms (diarrhoea, bloating etc), consider a period of elimination of the main potential culprits: Grains, dairy, soy, eggs FODMAPs If this is beneficial for you - do more digging! Q: We have some vegetarians on the team, would you suggest anything specific for them? Don’t fall into the typical vegetarian traps Not eating vegetables Not eating fish (if not vegan) Eating “faux” meat Making bread and cheese dietary staples Don’t usually have as much of a problem eating enough carbohydrate Make sure you get enough protein (may need to increase intake to compensate for lower essential amino acid intake) Controversial May only be necessary if trying to maximise muscle mass Q: Do you have any supplements that you would recommend every athlete take or is supplementation an individual recommendation? Creatine Vitamin D (if levels are low) Citrulline and beta-alanine for repeated HIIT/Sprint/higher-rep weight training performance Caffeine and nitrates (beetroot shots?) restricted the rest of the time and then used as an ergogenic aid Q: Everyone always focuses on macronutrients when it comes it nutrition, but what about micronutrients?  Should we focus on them as well?  Can you talk about how they might affect your athletic performance? Micronutrients are essential for all the basic synthetic and enzymatic functions in the body. B6 for red blood cell production Multiple B vitamins for various parts of energy production Copper for proteins involved in iron absorption Copper, zinc, and selenium for enzymes involved in handling oxidative stress Zinc inhibits copper uptake Many athletes both zinc *and* copper deficient Selenium and iodine for thyroid function Chris Masterjohn series Q: I think every athlete knows about the importance of staying hydrated, but do you have any recommendations when it comes to hydrating during training or racing?  Should we be drinking a specific amount on a set schedule or should we just be mindful of how thirsty we are? All the best evidence says you should just drink to thirst. Tim Noakes “waterlogged” - documents the adverse effects of hyponatraemia in marathon runners and US Army when trying to stay “hyper hydrated”. Where it has been studied, the people that perform the fastest at longer distances (IRONMAN triathlon or ultramarathons) tend to lose the most amount of bodyweight (i.e. are the most dehydrated). Maybe genetic or involve other factors, but suggests dehydration is not the limiting component. Q: OCR is a unique sport that combines lots of different aspects of physical fitness, so you think there are special fueling requirements for OCR athletes? OCR typifies the need for metabolic flexibility - the ability to utilise all substrates at the right time, and switch between them. Overtly restricting one macronutrient is unlikely to be beneficial Cycle training intensities/modalities and fuel appropriately to get the best of all pathways. Q: We have a coach who likes to push us pretty hard over the course of a 2hr class.  As an example, his warmup was a burpee ladder which essentially amounted us doing 15 minutes of burpees. And that is the warmup, how should we fuel for training sessions like this like this? Should we fuel beforehand/after/both? I don’t think most people need intra-workout nutrition for this kind of session. Unless struggling to maintain weight or want to gain muscle mass Consider small amount of carbs and amino acids (as during a race) Get a real food meal in as soon as feasible and comfortable Can use a shake if you need more calories or protein or will be a long time before you can eat. Not essential Liquid calories not recommended unless failing to get enough from food. Q: OCR races can vary greatly in distance, there are some that are 5k in distance all the way up to ultra-endurance races that last 24 hours. Of course, we are doing a lot more than just run during these races. When should we start concerning ourselves with intra-race nutrition? What would you suggest? Probably don’t need intra-race nutrition unless going over 2-3 hours Greater dependence on fat-burning/aerobic pathways at that distance Combination of slow-digesting carbohydrate and some amino acids UCAN, PHAT FIBRE, oats, sweet potato powder MAP, BCAAs, protein powders Fats for longer efforts if tolerated Can be real-food based Nuts (macadamias are popular) and seeds (i.e. chia) Pemmican NAC or glutathione for much longer efforts (i.e. 24h races) Q: After a tough training session or race, we all want to recover as fast as possible to get back to training or racing.  Rest is important as is mobility etc, but is there anything from a nutrition perspective we can do to recover faster? Depends on how soon you want to/need to recover Antioxidants Cold baths Don’t eat crap food and minimise the post-race beers Eat enough protein If you tend to be nauseated or get GI symptoms after races, consider not eating for 2-4 hours afterwards to give the gut a break.     If “fat adapted”, your body should be better able to handle this Q Are there signs or symptoms that we might not be fueling properly? What do you see in practice when athletes are not fueling correctly?

Last night Pete and got to interview Donal Oniell from Cereal Killers movie fame. We loved both movies and CK2 'Run on Fat' makes it pretty damn clear what we have not only been talking about but living it for so long now. "The science is coming" but the athletes that are open and willing will be the ones reaping the rewards. I'm stoked we got to record this interview and help push this message out to the world for athletes and non athletes alike. Performance is important ... but not as important as your health. Why not attain both? In Today’s Episode We Cover: Overweight Endurance athletes. The Science is Coming. Ketones. Breaking records. The NEED for this mineral. Health and Performance can it be achieved or are just bad bed fellows. You cannot out train a shitty diet. The rise of the Pemmican. Donals daily diet and his favourite dish. What's next for Donal Oniell. And oh so much more. Show Links: Cereal Killers 2 - Run on Fat Cereal Killers 2 Run on Fat charts world class triathlete Sami Inkinen’s transition from pre-diabetic sugar burner to a faster, healthier, fat fueled endurance athlete under the guidance of New York Times bestselling author Dr Stephen Phinney. When Sami embarks on an epic anti sugar crusade with his wife Meredith – rowing 4,000 kms unsupported from California to Hawaii – their remarkable journey reveals the astonishing performance benefits and pitfalls of successful fat fueling strategies for athletic performance. As more and more evidence emerges of world class athletes adopting a similar protocol – with remarkable results in some cases – “Run on Fat” challenges the very foundations of sports nutrition.   Cereal Killers 1 Cereal Killers The film follows Donal – a lean, fit, seemingly healthy 41 year old man – on a quest to hack his genes and drop dead healthy by avoiding the heart disease and diabetes that has afflicted his family. Donal’s father Kevin, an Irish gaelic football star from the 1960s, won the first of 2 All Ireland Championships with the Down Senior Football Team in 1960 before the biggest crowd (94,000) ever seen at an Irish sporting event. When Kevin suffered a heart attack later in life, family and friends were shocked. How does a lean, fit and seemingly healthy man – who has sailed through cardiac stress tests – suddenly fall victim to heart disease? Can a controversial diet consisting of 70% fat provide the answers?   Run on Fat The Movie Run on Fat Blog Post - 5 Trends for 2015 5 Reason to Run on Fat Cereal Killers 1 Cereal Killers Social Media Facebook Twitter Show Sponsors: TriTravel Smith Optics Vespa

Audio statement from Craig @ 00:12:48 After a lot of self-experimenting, he has sorted out his morning nutrition: he eats a banana and 5 MAP, does his workout, then fries some pemmican and eggs in coconut oil. He's middle aged, 145lbs, 5'11" and that works for him. ~ In my response to Craig's breakfast comment, I mention: Pemmican, Nutiva Coconut Oil, Master Amino Pattern, Low Carb Fueling Package. Audio Question from 30secs @ 00:15:56 On last week's show Ben talked about 30 second bursts of exercise, with a 4 minute rest, done 5 times. What type of exercises would you recommend? Something that doesn't require equipment and can be done almost anywhere. Would Burpees work? ~ In my response, I mention the SetStarter and discount code "10percent". Audio Question from Dan @ 00:19:53 He is looking to get a GPS watch. What do you think is the best or best value watch (with HRM)? Does he need an altimeter? ~ In my response, I mention www.dcrainmaker.com. I also mention this video on interval training with the Timex Run Trainer:   And this video on pace setting with the Timex Run Trainer:   And the best deal on heart rate monitors, from Heart Rate Monitors USA. My final recommendation to Dan is the Timex Ironman run trainer paired with TrainingPeaks. Audio Question from Donna @ 00:24:47 She's heard lots of talk about the Green Coffee Bean being some sort of fat burner. Wants to know what your take is on that? She drinks regular coffee (espresso) but has never tried the green coffee. ~ In my response to Donna, I mention the new MPX100. Audio Question from Jane @ 00:30:05 She is 45-years-old and has been following the Paleo eating plan for a couple months now. She would like to do a half marathon next year but has no idea how to go about that or how to change her eating to optimize for energy and endurance. ~ In my response to Jane, I mention www.lowcarbtriathlete.com Audio Question from Keerthi @ 00:34:39 He's looking for ways he can add lean body mass without adding body fat percentage.  He needs recommendations on micro-nutrient ratio, timing, how many extra calories to eat in order to put on at least 10 lbs of lean body mass. ~ In my response to Keerthi, I mention this Get Fit Guy article. Audio Question from Rob @ 00:42:19 He plans on training for his first Ironman. He's never done any endurance sport (longest run is 6 miles, swim 3 laps of an olympic pool, bike is 10 miles). He is pretty fit and in shape. Is 200lbs, 13% body fat. Plays basketball and does HIIT. He is a vegetarian. He is thinking of using the "Tri-Dominator" plan for his Ironman training. Do you think that is a good place to start for his first Ironman. He doesn't just want to race he wants to compete! Also, do you have any suggestions on where to get some affordable training gear? ~ In my response to Rob, I mention www.TriathlonDominator.com, the Bronze modules at www.rockstartriathlete.com and www.thetrishop.com (use 10% discount code BEN10). Audio Question from Tony @ 00:48:26 He is a "lacto-ovo pescatarian" and has IBS. He is trying to go low carb but his dinners (which are out of his control - made by his wife) tend to be higher carb. Is he doing more damage than good having 2 of 3 meals low carb? Especially if he is doing higher fat in the first 2 meals. Due to his IBS he can't do coconut milk or eggs. He follows the "Low Carb for Triathlete" book. He tends to eat a lot of yogurt and almond butter for breakfast but that is getting old. ~ In my response I mention: the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, 2-4 scoops CapraColostrum per day, 4-6 drops oil of oregano per day, 1-3x/day, Hydrochloric acid – start at 1 and work up to 5-7x650mg/day (I recommend NOW Foods Betaine HCL). If H. Pylori, include 2-3 capsules mastic gum per day (I recommend Jarrow Formulas Mastic Gum). 1-2 servings of Bitters per day (I recommend Floradix Herbal Bitters). If urinary tract infection, try D-Mannose – 2-3g/day (I recommend NOW Foods D-Mannose). If you need to eat a meal that is “toxic”, like farm-raised meat, fish, etc. eat activated charcoal immediately prior. Also www.thedietdominator.com and my pesca-ovo vegetarian plan on TrainingPeaks.

Audio Question from Eric: He wants to get back to race weight (is currently 30-35lbs over what he would like to weigh). He has some racing goals that he will have to push himself to reach. Should he try to lose weight before the race (in the early season) or just train hard and lose the weight at the same time? ~ In my response, I recommend www.Tri-Ripped.com Chris says: Most of your topics seam to address cardio and diet. Can you do a show on soft tissue injuries and flexibility. My big limiters, that I can't seem to fix, are stiffness in my ankle and lower back. ~ In my response, I mention Capraflex. Tim asks: I am training for some ultra marathons in the 50 to 100 mile range. During my training, I am experimenting with different nutrition sources to find what works well for me. In the past, foods that seem to work perfectly for a 2 to 3 hour run can wreak havoc on my G.I. system during a longer run or race. Given the same effort level in training & racing, what changes occur in the stomach to create this problem? Also, is there a certain length of time that I can run to fully test a nutrition source without having to run the full race distance? Josh asks: I know you've said before that you typically only consume fructose after a workout. Recently I came across some literature saying not to eat fruit after a workout because, "Consuming fructose will increase production of somatostatin, which then inhibits the production of human growth hormone (HGH, also known as 'the fitness hormone')." If true, that's a fairly big deal. Just wondering what your thoughts are. Jonas says: My brother turned me onto your site. He is a marathon runner, and I am a crossfitter/boxer. He has convinced me to live by your food pyramid and make some changes to my life. A lot of these changes are forcing me to toss some of my supplements. Where I am struggling is a pre-workout supplement that helps me lift more and not get fatigued. I have used Jack3d and Other products similar in the past. Can you suggest one that is better to use that has no neurotoxins, artificial colors, and other bad stuff? ~ In my response, I recommend the strength section at http://goo.gl/Zu02D Osa asks: Is it possible to fast your way into Ketosis and how long does it take? Also do you have any tips I can use to stay in shape or at least maintain a healthy weight with no exercise for a couple weeks? I had oral surgery to remove all four of my wisdom teeth this morning. I was advised by the doctor that the day before my appointment that I should stop eating or drinking before midnight. I stopped eating and drinking at 10:00pm and my appointment was at 9:30am the next day. I did not start feeling hungry until around 6:00pm today, so I fasted 20hrs in total and was not experiencing ravenous hunger. I also noticed when I was breathing through my nose I could start smelling some gas from my breath, which is a sign I may have fasted myself into Ketosis. The Oral Surgery to remove my four wisdom teeth has drastically changed my diet and made me inactive for a couple weeks. I can only eat light meals and have been advised not to eat meat. khoo asks: I am participating in a multi staged ultra marathon over 3 days, 42k on the first day, 40k on the second day and 18k on the last day. The challenge is that it will be at the outer Mongolia, border of Russia. the only thing the race organizer will provide is a tent and hot water. All participants will need to bring their own fuel, food and recovery mix. In my plan, I will bring freeze dry meals, pork/beef jerky, trail mix (nuts and dried fruits), dark chocolate, endurox R4, hammer recovery drink, GU gels and roctane. Any recommendation on what else to bring? ~ In my response I recommend Pemmican, Cocochia bars, and Supergreens. Adam asks:
 Can you further explain the link between growth hormone and testosterone. I am 24 and have been taking about 3g of GABA before bed to improve sleep by increasing growth hormone. I do not want to mess with my testosterone and I also have skin that easily breaks out and increased testosterone will only be making that worse. Sarah asks:I want to know if energy supplements are safe for you? I run about 45-50 miles a week and do strength training 3 days a weeks. A trainer at the gym I go to recommended Lean EFX Thermogenic 45cpLean EFX Energy Enhancing Pills from Fahrenheit Nutrition. The reviews online are mixed. Also, recently in the news (recommended by Dr. OZ) - Raspberry Ketones - are these safe? If so which brand do you recommend?
