Podcasts about perfect keto

Justin Mares is the Co-founder and CEO of Truemed, a payment tool that allows health and wellness brands and providers to harness consumer tax-free funds. He is also the Founder of Kettle & Fire, the Co-founder of Surely and Perfect Keto, and an investor at Long Journey Ventures. Justin strives to make health accessible and sustainable and create a food system that heals rather than harms. In this episode… Nearly 90% of the US population is at risk of chronic disease. While health accounts like HSAs and FSAs give consumers access to tax-free healthcare, they can only use them to cover qualified medical expenses. DTC wellness brands can offer the option to pay for products with these funds. How can these brands optimize this payment method to drive conversions and growth? Health and wellness serial entrepreneur Justin Mares capitalized on a market need for affordable chronic disease prevention. Health, wellness, and supplement brands can integrate one-click HSA and FSA payment options into their Shopify sites. Consumer drop-off rates between add-to-cart and check-out are 30-50%, so when provided with alternative payment methods, consumers can save 30-40% a year on wellness products, increasing brands' AOV, LTV, and conversion rates. Consumers can even make interest-free monthly payments on more expensive products. Join William Harris in today's episode of the Up Arrow Podcast as he interviews Justin Mares, the Co-founder and CEO of Truemed, about his tax-free solution for consumers with chronic illness. Justin also talks about his experience bootstrapping a brand, including transitioning from DTC to retail, his methods for scaling and gaining brand awareness, and how he became a serial entrepreneur in the health and wellness space.

In part 2 Justin Mares and I discuss the broken food and health systems in the US and the need to prioritize human flourishing. We get into the weaponization of our instincts by companies that produce addictive food, the importance of fixing our environment and food system, and the role of human health in the built environment. Justin shares his experience in the health industry and highlights the misalignment of incentives in the food and healthcare industries.  We touch on the lack of trust in traditional institutions and the challenges of following dietary guidelines. Justin talks about nutrient density in crops, the depletion of nutrients in soil, the impact of food processing on nutrient density, and the potential consequences for human health. We also delve into the challenges of scaling sustainable farming practices and the role of government and corporations in addressing health and environmental issues. The conversation concludes with a discussion on the need for individual and community action to create positive change. Takeaways The food and health systems in the US are profoundly broken and need to be fixed to promote human flourishing. Companies are weaponizing our instincts to create addictive and profitable food products. Fixing the environment, food system, and built environment is crucial for improving human health. There is a lack of trust in traditional institutions and their ability to provide accurate health advice. The misalignment of incentives in the food and healthcare industries hinders progress in promoting human health. Nutrient density in crops is influenced by the nutrients in the soil, and over time, the depletion of nutrients in the soil has led to less nutrient-dense crops. Food processing can further reduce nutrient density, and the consumption of processed foods may lead to nutrient deficiencies and cravings for specific nutrients. Scaling sustainable farming practices, such as regenerative agriculture, can help improve soil health and nutrient density in crops. Government regulations and policies play a role in shaping the food system, but individual and community action is also necessary to create positive change. Addressing health and environmental issues requires a holistic approach that considers the interconnectedness of various factors, including food production, human health, and environmental sustainability.

Justin Mares is the founder of Kettle and Fire, Perfect Keto, and Surely Non-Alcoholic Wines, and is working on his fourth company: Truemed.  I am super impressed with what Justin has accomplished, and am a big fan of Kettle and Fire.  My wife and I drink their bone broth regularly.  What I am most inspired by is that Justin isn't in business just to be in business.  He is in business to solve problems that make peoples' lives better, specifically around their physical and mental health and wellbeing.  As the sickest generation of Americans in history–and it's not even close–he is on a mission to rescue the food system and transform the industry into something that serves people first, not profits.  Health is foundational to human flourishing – even before shelter.   We discuss how Justin started Kettle and Fire by testing the idea with a landing page and no actual product to gauge demand.  We discuss the importance of a healthy food system, and the failures of regulatory bodies like the FDA. Justin emphasizes the need for companies to prioritize consumer health and wellness. Our conversation explores the impact of food regulations and the state of health in the US.  Justin highlights the differences between the US and the EU in terms of food regulations, with the US allowing thousands of chemicals in food that are banned in Europe. We also discuss the high rates of chronic diseases and obesity in the US, and the connection between physical and mental health.  TAKEAWAYS The most profitable food products are often the worst for people, highlighting the brokenness of the food system. Starting a company that prioritizes consumer health and wellness is important but challenging. Bone broth is a nutrient-dense food that can improve gut, skin, and joint health. The FDA and other regulatory bodies have failed to protect consumers, leading to high rates of chronic disease. The food system needs to be reformed to prioritize healthier and more sustainable options. The US allows thousands of chemicals in food that are banned in Europe, leading to worse health outcomes for Americans. The US has high rates of chronic diseases and obesity, with 60% of Americans living with at least one chronic disease and 80% being overweight. There is a strong connection between physical and mental health, and addressing physical health through food interventions can improve mental health. Food regulations and the food system play a significant role in the overall health of the population.

This week we sat down with Dr. Anthony Gustin, founder of Equip Foods, host of The Natural State Podcast, and expert on ancestral health and nutrition. We reflected on Anthony's journey building and selling his company Perfect Keto, and the lessons he learned about finding fulfillment through creative pursuits versus just chasing entrepreneurial success.Anthony shared his recent move to Bend, Oregon and how he is focused on investing profits into local businesses and building community. We discussed concerns about societal decay, and the lack of inspiring role models when reaching high levels of "success."A big portion of this episode involved an honest discussion about our spiritual journeys and discovering meaning through faith. Anthony opened up about exploring religion after rejecting it earlier in life, while we explained how finding a supportive church community has been incredibly impactful for both of us.Overall, this was a wide-ranging and vulnerable conversation exploring entrepreneurship, spirituality, regenerative agriculture, and leading a values-driven life in service of others. We appreciated Anthony's wisdom and perspective.SPONSORS Sacred Hunting is enabling people to experience hunting trips all across the United States and sharing the traditions of coming together through the sacred practice.

We've had so many discussions that's far about the importance of dietary fat for health and longevity. But to be clear, the type of fat we consume is of incredible importance. These days our diets seem to be loaded with vegetable oils and seed oils, and as we will learn, these are generally quite threatening to our health. In fact vegetable oils are only recently introduced into human nutrition with global production increasing 1600% since the early 1900s.   There is a strong correlation between the increase consumption of vegetable oils and seed the oils with the incidence of severe chronic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and even various neurological conditions.    Today we are going to explore a new type of oil called cultured oil, prepared by fermentation and subsequent filtration. Leading this industry is a company called Zero Acres Farms, and as such, I have reach doubt to its co-founder and CEO, Jeff Nobbs, to explore exactly what this company is doing as well as the health benefits of their product.   ====   TIMESTAMPS:  0:00 Intro 2:28 Realizing the Danger of Omega 6 10:10 Low Fat Diets 12:35 HNE 17:00 Inflammation & Lanolin Acid 20:38 Environmental Impact of Seed Oils 24:00 Saturated Fat 28:15 New Way to Produce Oils 33:36 What to Look for while buying 39:02 Conclusion   ====   Jeff Nobbs:    Jeff Nobbs is the co-founder and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, a food company replacing destructive vegetable oils with healthier, more sustainable oils and fats made by fermentation. Prior to Zero Acre Farms, Jeff also co-founded the fast casual restaurant chain Kitava, food security non-profit HelpKitchen, and rewards shopping platform Extrabux. He has also served as COO for Perfect Keto and General Manager of Rakuten after it acquired Extrabux.

Justin Mares is an entrepreneur behind better-for-you CPG brands like Kettle & Fire, Perfect Keto, & Surely and co-founder in TrueMed, a payment integration that allows health-promoting merchants to accept pre-tax HSA and FSA funds. In this episode, we'll talk about designing decentralized, local economies around food, uncover some of the perverse incentives of Big Food lobbying that impacts our health, and look at the potential for personalized nutrition and wearables to improve preventative healthcare.

This episode of the Thinking Health Podcast features a great friend of mine, Dr. Anthony Gustin. Dr. Gustin is the founder of Perfect Keto and Equip and is actively building out many different businesses aiming at fixing the food system, improving the health of our society, and correcting the damage that happens to our environment daily.  In this episode, we talk about Dr. Gustin's wedding which I had the pleasure of attending. We discussed how this wedding was much different than any wedding I had attended and how important rituals and rights of passage have traditionally been for our society as a whole. We also talk about the benefit of doing hard things. How our society as a whole has become comfortable with being comfortable and is content with not challenging ourselves to get better. We also discuss how this is a big reason why people are unhappy. They are not living in accordance with their human biology and what is necessary for fulfillment and personal growth. Another topic we dive into is the importance of supporting entrepreneurs who have causes that aim to better our world. We discuss one category of these causes, regenerative farming, and how Anthony is hoping to continue helping spread the word on the importance of this movement and help others take action in supporting it.  Dr. Gustin has always been a mentor for me and has played a major role in shaping my thought processes and trajectory in life. I think you guys will catch a glimpse of that in this episode and hopefully experience something similar yourselves! 

Dr. Anthony Gustin is the founder of Zero Acre Farms, Perfect Keto & Equip Foods. He is also the host of The Natural State Podcast.

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Chris Irvin, a nutrition researcher, writer, and educator. He holds a master's degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science and is currently the education manager for Perfect Keto. This episode originally released on December 2020. During his time in grad school, Chris began to see the keto industry growing. Chris was in big support of this industry growth because he thinks a robust industry can support good research, but with so many companies coming on the scene just trying to make a buck, Chris became discouraged and kept his distance. After spending a couple of years researching and developing content about keto, Chris decided to start looking more into the keto industry because he wanted to bring more research and education into the industry. Fortunately, Perfect Keto was looking for someone to improve research and education within their company, something they were already doing very well! Chris was already a big fan of Dr. Anthony Gustin and the quality products he was making at Perfect Keto, so it ended up making a great fit. Now Chris focuses on learning and educating the masses on the ketogenic diet through The Ketologist and Perfect Keto! In this episode, Chris Irvin opens the show speaking about his journey to the keto diet and eventually the carnivore diet. First, we talk about how ketosis can actually help you build muscle despite people thinking insulin is required for muscle growth. In fact, ketones can stimulate muscle growth. Later, we dive deep into the carnivore diet. Chris explains how he found the carnivore diet, why the carnivore diet is beneficial for our gut, and if the carnivore diet is sustainable long-term. Tune in as Keto Kamp members join the show to ask Chris questions about supplements and what to pay attention to when trying the carnivore diet.

Dr. Anthony Gustin is a man leveraging his curiosity to find opportunities in the problems of our modern age. He started as a chiropractor working with elite level athletes and saw the need for education around nutrition. That first crossover led him into founding Perfect Keto, Equip Foods, and helping put together Zero Acre Farms. He's as much of a disruptor as he is a dreamer - and lately, he's been getting into farming on his small farm, Joyfield Farms, outside of Austin, Texas. In this conversation, we explore modeling life after Wendell Berry and having a balance between intellectual and more physical and farm-related pursuits. We talk about the natural state of humans and whether or not we can get back to it, and if we can't, what might come next and how in order to build it we have to start trying to solve some problems of progress. Anthony shares how to get people engaged with everything from eating real food to buying directly from farms and how some of his companies have served as stepping stones in that space. We dive into the scale of agriculture currently and what it's going to take to get smaller farms in financial shape to begin to provide a viable alternative to the corporate organism. Anthony also shares some of his big questions about farming, as a self-professed novice, and how people have reacted to his viewpoints. This conversation asks big questions but also posits big solutions. We also talk about: Americans consumption of over 70 billion pounds of polyunsaturated fatty acids per year - can animal fats compete? Finding a spiritual practice coming from an atheist background The importance of community & so much more.

Zero Acre Farms is on a mission to remove vegetable oils from the food system. Vegetable oils are the most consumed food in the world after rice and wheat, and are leading drivers of chronic disease and deforestation. At Zero Acre Farms, they make healthy oils and fats from fermentation, not cleared rainforests. Their first product, which they call Cultured Oil, has the highest level of good fats, lowest levels of bad fats, and a 90% smaller environmental footprint than vegetable oil. I've tried the new Zero Acre Farms Culture Oil. It tastes good, cooks well, seems to have a decent smoke point, and seems to be an affordable, environmentally friendly alternative to what I consider to be one of the scourges of the nutrition world: vegetable oil. My guest on this podcast, Jeff Nobbs, is a healthy food innovator on a mission to reverse chronic disease and help fix the many problems in today's food system. After an early career in technology, Jeff founded the healthy fast casual restaurant chain Kitava, served as COO of Perfect Keto, and co-founded food security non-profit HelpKitchen. Jeff is now co-founder and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, makers of Cultured Oil. Episode sponsors...

At age 18, Jeff Nobbs founded an ecommerce company, building it into a valuable enough startup that it was acquired in what Jeff calls a “life-changing” event. After then opening a restaurant that now has two locations in the Bay Area, Jeff decided that there'd be a third entrepreneurial act in his life, this time focused on fixing fat. What's wrong with fat today? Well, Jeff argues that the way we grow plants to make oils like palm, soy, coconut, canola, and more is just pretty taxing on the planet. It's often not that good for us, either. So instead of farming plants to extract the tiny amount of fat that's in them, why not just farm microbes that produce vast quantities of fat and save a lot of land in the process? It would be especially beneficial if these microbes were adroit at making monounsaturated fats, or the so-called “good fats” we associate with avocados, olives, and so on. It turns out that producing fat via microbial fermentation is pretty efficient. A life cycle analysis conducted by Jeff's new company, Zero Acre Farms, found that their fermentation process uses far fewer resources than farming soybeans, which are a pretty efficient plant. Founded in 2020, Zero Acre Farms now has three dozen employees and just closed a $37 million dollar financing round. Its first product, a cultured oil, is now available to purchase from their web site. I tried it in my own kitchen and can attest that indeed, the oil performed and tasted quite good. It's an impressive journey that Jeff's been on, and with tens of millions of dollars now at the mid-30s CEO's disposal, it's sure to be quite a ride as they scale up and see how many acres they can free up by switching the world to their lower-footprint fats. In this episode, Jeff recommends  Dale Carnegie's books Peter Drucker's books Think and Grow Rich Scaling Up High Growth Handbook   More about Jeff Nobbs Jeff Nobbs is the co-founder and CEO of Zero Acre Farms, a food company replacing destructive vegetable oils with healthier, more sustainable oils and fats made by fermentation. Jeff has co-founded several startups to offer better quality ingredients and nutrition-forward food to people and communities, including the fast casual restaurant chain Kitava. In 2020, after seeing a drastic decrease in accessibility to fresh food, Jeff co-founded HelpKitchen to connect food-insecure individuals with partner restaurants for a free meal via SMS. Jeff also served as the chief operating officer for Perfect Keto and General Manager of Rakuten, which acquired his first company Extrabux.
