AdapNation: all things Self-Optimisation!

In this episode, we have the one and only Ben Pakulski - the modern day bodybuilding and wellness legend!

FULL SHOW NOTES of what we discussed - https://adapnation.io/98-Ben-Pakulski

 

We catch up at the Health Optimisation Summit London, where Ben just wrapped up his talk and what marked the start of his 2019 European tour. Buzzing from the learning, curiosity and intellectual debate of this event, we managed to grab Ben in a reflective and philosophical headspace.  

It was a true pleasure, even if in a loud and hot arirbnb (that’s central London for you!). Sorry upfront, but it does as a certain ambience to the audio. 😉

 

Ben Pakulski has redefined his career to one focussed on thriving, wellness and living your best life. His podcast and overarching website Muscle Intelligence is considered one of the best resources out there, and has a huge loyal following. Ben pairs experience, drive, intelligence, and an insatiable curiosity to make for great conversations of discovery and reflection.

Ben is on a mission to navigate and curate the burden of noise in the self-optimisation space, in order to personally find and share the true value with his audience. He is not only looking for the what, but also the who. "Who does this apply to?…"

 

As expected, an awesome conversation. I wish we had more time, but we managed to have a deep and valuable conversation. There are some powerful concepts shared by Ben in this episode, that have the potential to move the needle in your Mindset, Life and Training - immediately!

In this episode, we have the wonderful Sally Fallon Morelljoin us from the Weston A Price Foundation. Sally is one of the foremost global leaders in nutrient-dense ancestral living through respecting and returning to our traditional diet, and is driven by a truly noble and caring cause. 

Full Show Notes of discussion -  https://adapnation.io/97-westernaprice/

  

Sally is the Founder and President of the Weston A Price Foundation, that she setup in 1999, as well as a best-selling author. The Weston A Price Foundation is held in high regard by global nutritional leaders, often considered the definitive source of traditional nutritional wisdom. Those who attempt to return full health and human potential back to western societies usually cite the work of this foundation.

The foundation showcases and extends the brilliant one-of-a-kind and unrepeatable work of of Weston A Price, a dentist, who travelled the world observing the contrast in diet and health of indigenous tribes when compared to modern western cultures. He performed observational studies, nutritional testing, took thousands of pictures of indigenous people, and hypothesised that the departure from traditional nutritional principles was the leading cause to the health issues we were (and are ) seeing. He is most famous for documenting his findings in the his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration.

In this interview, Sally introduces us to the key principles of a nutrient dense diet through describing Weston A Price’s observations, talking about the myriad of issues in the modern diet and guidelines, and placing a positive emphasis on our need to embrace saturated fat.

Most of all, Sally argues strongly for the need to take full responsibility as adults on the health of our children, and just how important a nutrient-dense diet is to their development from preconception through to a young adult. This is a heart warming and convincing plea, backed up with logic and science.

Enjoy!

Myopia (shortsightedness) is an eye condition where distant objects appear blurry, and is thought to affect a staggering 1 in 3 people in the UK alone. 

More and more kids are getting prescribed corrective lenses at 5 and 6 years old, and get steadily worse eyesight into their 20’s. How can it be that as a species our genetics are failing us so badly, where almost 40% of us have failing eyesight - a critical attribute to surviving and thriving?

 

Well, to discuss this condition, and the sorry state of our eyesight globally, we have the insightful and entertaining Jake Steiner join us.  

Jokingly, Jake has acquired the cringe-worthy tittle of the 'Eye Guru', as he naturally corrected his eye to 20/20 vision without surgery, and has supported 10’s of thousands of others also reverse their Myopia.

He is the founder and central figure behind the popular Endmyopia.org website and associated social platforms, and continues to provide a refreshing counter to the Lens and Glasses industry.

 

In this discussion, expect to hear about Jakes own journey of understanding and eyesight correction, some 101 on eyesight principles and research and the key principles behind Jake’s claims of returning your sight, at any age.

 

Here’s what we discuss:

🔸 Life in the Burmese Jungle

🔸 What is Myopia, Pseudo Myopia and Lens Induced Myopia? - What are the causes?

🔸 Are our genetics really letting us down so badly?

🔸 Jake’s personal story of worsening and life limiting eyesight (-5)

🔸 The issues with the $100bn Lens, Optometrist and Glasses Industry - and what they are NOT telling you...

🔸 Jake’s stubborn and relentless obsession with understanding why Myopia, and how to correct

🔸 The overwhelming research and resources online - e.g. scholar.google.com

🔸 Jake’s meandering journey to 20/20 vision (actually 20/15!) over the years of trial and error

🔸 What is Axial Length of the Eyeball? - and how the eye adapts throughout our lives

🔸 Glasses makes our eyesight worse! - What happens physiologically when you wear lenses?

🔸 The reason for needing Reading Glasses - and Jake’s personal belief on how he will avoid them

🔸 Kids and glasses - The need to combat this trend. And it’s not with buying them specs...

🔸 The big Issue with Screens - The impact on our eyesight, and lives...

 

🔸 The Key Principles to Correcting Your Eyesight (up to 1 diopter a year)

          👁 No Eye Exercises

          👁 Home Eyesight Measurement

          👁 Assess Lifestyle

          👁 Reducing Time & Strength of Correction

          👁 The Daily 3 Hour Rule

          👁 Outdoors

Today, we’ve got Dave Feldman on to give us a feature-length discussion on all things Cholesterol. 

Dave is a software entrepreneur & engineer, turned world-leading Cholesterol researcher. His computer-science driven research combined with his Lipid Energy Hypothesis is turning the institutional wisdom of causes of heart-related diseases on its head! His website cholesterolcode.com combined with his appearance in FAT: A Documentary are great resources to check out.

 

If you’ve been stressed, or doctors have frightened you about your high LDL Cholesterol, then this conversation will be incredibly useful. 

Especially if you have been following a Low Carb diet of sorts only to find you LDL shoot up to sky high numbers. Should you be worried? How do you interpret you health and metabolic status based on the common blood markers?

It’s 2 hours of absolute gold. Accessible to everyone, whilst geeking out in pockets to help dig deeper for those who are curious. The one podcast to listen to to get a fantastic grounding on the reality of Cholesterol, LDL, and the effects of diet.

 

SOUND QUALITY: Please note for the first 15-20mins only, we battled with an intermittent audio glitch. 

 

Here’s what we discuss:

🔸 From SW Engineer to Cholesterol Obsessed - From Dave’s entrepreneurial software background, tp low carb and high Cholesterol and now leader in Cholesterol research

🔸 The importance of understanding Cholesterol today - The Drugs, money and interventions that could be causing more harm than good...

🔸 It’s not WHAT you die of, but WHEN you die that’s important! - Dave suggests we are looking at things all wrong. 

🔸 The essential roles of Cholesterol - From structural, hormonal, digestion, cognitive and immune

🔸 What happens with Low Cholesterol Diets? - Does it cause a problem? What about on a high cholesterol diet - does cholesterol shoot up?

🔸 All things LDL - The surprising health and immune benefits of LDL, what is it, how does it get created etc. The difference between the lipoproteins. 

🔸 The reason why LDL is vilified - The current science, hypothesis and research to support our LDL worries. Correlation vs causation, plus only looking at one factor.

🔸 Dave’s issue with Statin’s, The Statin’s data, and subsequent meta analysis - How the methodologies are cherry picking, and conclusions are weak

🔸 High LDL, Longevity and Cognition - What Dave’s analysis of large data sets have shown

🔸 Dave’s Low Carb Lipid Energy Hypothesis - Energy sources, the raft analogy, use of triglycerides for energy, and the common healthy increase in LDL when low carb

🔸 The Longevity Triad - Dave talks through the observed longevity benefits of High LDL, Low Tri and High HDL.

🔸 More about Triglycerides - Why do fat-adapted low carbers have low Tri’s, and why is high Tri’s a bad thing for metabolic health?

🔸 Lean Mass Hyper Responders - Dave explains that ultra fit lean individuals can have bloodwork that scares 99% of physicians. Should they be worried?

🔸 The Cause of Heart Disease - We talk about the Response To Injury hypothesis, hyperinsulinemia, endothelial damage, constant fed state and immune responses

🔸 Dave’s position on Healthy Diets - What he follows vs what he recommends to his close family, and his open-mindedness to many diet format working

🔸 Dave’s cynicism of the medical and nutritional sciences - plus the backlash he gets with the messaging he puts out.

🔸 Cult Diet Factions vs Centralised Dictatorship - we explore our frustrations with the zealot and cult nature of diets, the confusion and the benefit of the internet and community

This is another episode where we will challenge your world view of good nutrition. Today, we’re speaking all things OXALATES, with specialist Elliot Overton. 

Why should you care? Is this quackery BS? I think you should listen in and decide for yourself…

Oxalate is a mild metabolic toxin found in most plants to varying degrees. Unlike other phytonutrients or molecules like gluten and lectins, Oxalates cannot be broken down by the body or detoxified by the liver. It’s eliminated… or accumulated.

Oxalates are found in high volume in many of our so-called superfoods of today - including Spinach, Cocoa, Beetroot, Sweet Potatoes and Almonds. Whilst these foods and many others have a great reputation for their health benefits, it turns out we’ve been omitting one major downside to copious all-year-round consumption of these foods - Oxalates!

 

In this in-depth two parter (Ep. #91 & #92), nutritionist and functional medical practitioner Elliot Overton walks us through all you need to know about this insidious yet anonymous bad actor in ‘healthy diets’. Elliot lays down a lot of science, to help logically justify the reason for concern when it comes to Oxalate Poisoning and Oxalate Dumping.

Elliot provides a potential answer to those who are suffering with a random collections of symptoms that ebb and flow. He provides a new way to look at food, issues with your body and mind, and new things you can try for yourself with diet and health management.

 

 

Here’s what we discuss across both Episodes: 

🔸 Elliot’s journey - from long-term vegetarian and GI issues to ancestral living, nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner

🔸 We’re overdosing on Superfoods & terrible Green Smoothies - many “superfoods” are very high in Oxalate

🔸 Oxalate history and background - 150 year old knowledge. What are oxalates, issues they cause, how the body handles them, and interesting science

🔸 Factors that predispose you to greater Oxalate absorption - Diet choices, microbiota, gut dysbiosis, environmental, genetic 

🔸 Where Oxalate can get lodged - not just kidney stones! List of organs, tissues and biochemical disturbances

🔸 Why Oxalates are a big issue today, compared to the past? - the reasons that have made this an issue the previously we could manage without concern

🔸 Conditions associated with high levels of Oxalate -  Usually, a combinations of these unassociated symptoms that flare.

🔸 Oxalate is not an allergy or sensitivity - The difference between immediate reactions and long-term toxic accumulation

🔸 High Oxalate Foods - a run down of the worst offenders, with approximate values

 

🔸 What is Oxalate Dumping? - What is happening internally, how long will it last, and how to identify?

🔸 Typical collection of symptoms of Oxalate Dumping - What you may feel, randomly and cyclically. 

🔸 Steve’s ongoing experience of Oxalate Dumping - Steve goes through the unexplained, weird and coincidental last two months since dropping Oxalate 

🔸 How to Manage Oxalate Dumping - Nutrition strategies, supplementation strategies, and other approaches that can lessen dumping symptoms

🔸 What is a healthy level of daily Oxalate? - Elliot provides the safe range, with caveats, as well as justifying why everyone should be mindful of Oxalate consumption

She’s back! Michelle is back on the mics to represent women and mothers - a skill I’ve yet to master! 

Joking aside, it’s often the case on podcasts like AdapNation that they can become male-dominated in voice, thoughts and in some cases male-centric topics. I like to think what we talk about is accessible to everyone, with little male-bias, but it does absolutely miss the mark with adequately expressing female perspectives.

Today, Michelle joins us to give an update on where things are with her nutritionally and physically. She’s in a really good place right now with food, nutrition, health and appreciation for her body, but that absolutely hasn’t always been the case. 

 

So, we dig into her historical issues, and how she is now being driven by intuitive wellbeing. We also talk about feeding our kids to thrive, and how Michelle has navigated their transition to a way of eating that they love, and as a result are flourishing across all aspects of their development.

 

Here’s what we discuss:

🔸Michelle’s current Way of Eating - What she eats, doesn’t eat, guiding principles, flexibility and listening to her body

🔸The Freedom of Intuitive Eating - Michelle’s journey of mistakes, knowledge and now being guided by intuition. Is she a canary in the coal mine? 

🔸Michelle’s Previous Food & Eating Issues - Good habits gone bad. Unhealthy food relationships. Active punishment. Walking through her nutritional and health timeline.

🔸The Mental & Physical Benefits of Fasting Sporadically - What Michelle gets from intuitive and non-scheduled fasting practices

🔸The Turning Point for Michelle - Coming to terms with lifestyle induced Hypothyroidism and Shingles

🔸From Calorie and Volume Restriction… to Nutrient Density! - What drove the switch to prioritising essential nutrients, and mental challenges along the way

🔸Michelle’s Current Relationship with Weighing Scales, Physique and Calorie Counting - Turning unhealthy practices into valuable tools whilst embracing her natural shape

🔸The Need to Question and not Blindly Follow the Guidelines - In spite of going against many dietary recommendations, she’s healthy, feeling good and with perfect blood work

🔸Feeding Our Kids to Thrive - Michelle’s justifications on their diet, challenging what ‘kids like and should eat’, what they eat, and building in hedonistic flexibility

🔸How we Managed Their Transition to a Whole Foods ‘Clean Diet’ - The process and emotions, the why, the benefits and the decisions we make when eating out at social events

🔸Giving Kids the Choice to make the right choice for Their Bodies - How they are listening to their bodies. Self-regulation and rationing. Being involved in the kitchen. Taking ownership for feeling rough after making the wrong decisions

The 100 Day #BeYourBest Self-Optimisation Journey is almost done! A true Labour of love, and one I am so excited to share in Autumn 2019!

Well, fresh out of some hyper-focussed writing time, Bryn swung by to get some of these thoughts out of my head, and on to the mics!

Today, we focussed on the Top 10 aspects of mindset that are most resonating with us both currently 2019. The guidance that we need to give to ourselves, or the bigger priority ideas that are now starting to truly crystallise in how we are showing up.

This isn’t a list-sharing run down. Instead, we took the time to really get to the crux of each of these ideas, and why they are so powerful. Weaving in personal anecdotes, or stories of people that you will be familiar with. 

 

You’ve got cerebral and emotional discussion here, as we try and unpack why some of these concepts mean so much to us. We both learnt some new things as the conversation played  out. I hope you do too! 

 

Would love to hear any of your Top Mindset phrases or ideas that are fuelling your 2019. Please share on the AdapNation Facebook page, AdapNation Community or AdapNation Instagram Feed comments.

 

Here’s the Top 10 Mindset Concepts we get into:

1️⃣ Radically Open-Minded & Transparent - Don’t be dogmatically closed minded and contrarian. Don’t just wait for science to catch up

2️⃣ Building Self Confidence through Small Wins - Make the beginning so simple you can’t miss

3️⃣ No Failures, Just Lessons - Embrace the learning! It’s all learning.

It’s time for something different today. AdapNation is all about helping you #BeYourBest, and nutrition has a massive impact on thriving or being diseased!

But here’s the thing - nutrition has become so political, and there absolutely is an environmental impact when it comes to modern day food choices. But do we understand the problem correctly? Do we have our facts straight?

The every day person would assume based on media conditioning, that the only solution is globally reducing meat consumption, with the holy grail being a Vegan diet. Is that true? Is there nuance? Let’s find out.

 

Dr. Frank Mitloehner joins us to help unpack the reality of all things livestock, agriculture, and the industries' associated planetary impact. It’s a complex multi-faceted subject, yet easy to follow with Frank at the helm.

Frank’s main objective is to help establish environmentally benign (or even beneficial) livestock systems. He is a world leading Environmental & Air Specialist & Professor at UC Davis - specialising on understanding the environment impacts of livestock operations. He has called out some critical emission & nutrition studies that were significantly flawed in their analysis and conclusions  - including the FAO Livestock's Long Shadows Report & the recent EAT Lancet Report.

 

So, if you want to properly understand the impact your food choices are making to the planet, and ensure you ave the right facts, then this is a fantastic resource. It’s a great episode to share with like-minded friends too, to get more of us on the same page.

 

Here’s what we discuss:

🔸100 year Global & US Meat Production and Consumptions trends - some eye opening stats

🔸The reality of todays conventional farming standards - focussed on beef and dairy industries primarily in the US

🔸Efficiencies are not just good, they are essential - Frank explains why efficiencies need to be embraced, for the planet

🔸The truth about Crop Production and Livestock Emissions - stats, science, %’s and comparisons to other industries. How crop production is in trouble.

🔸Understanding Fossil Fuels & Biogenic Fuels such as Methane - How they differ, half life, warming potential, natures and ruminants role, cyclical and flow nature of biogenics. Global sources of methane.

🔸The need to stabilise short-lived pollutants and decrease long-lived pollutants - Or should we focus on reducing short-lived pollutants and keep increasing long-lived?

🔸The Beef Sector - farming process, feed, lifecycle of emissions

🔸Debunking the fake news, massaged stats and rescinded study summaries - such as the old FAO Long Shadow report. Why it is so hard to correct fake news. Franks biggest concern with fake news.

🔸The reality of Livestock Feed - What is it, how much is human edible, which animals consume them, and other uses of these crops 

🔸Difference between Rumen & Monogastric livestock - and how these differences determine what they must be fed

🔸The Doomed Farming Business, and why should all be worried - The lack of profit, household income and youth. Retiring populations of farmers. The disproportionate production and supply.

🔸The issues with Small organic and Regenerative Farms - unsustainable, costly and insufficient. The need for the big players to adopt similar ethos

🔸Land use of Human-Feed Crops & Livestock - Percentages used. Land suitability. Soil death. Marginal land. Synthetic fertilisers. Diversity issues. The need to restore soil health

🔸The Upcycling role Livestock - Regenerating soil, quality foods and improving environment  with solar power

🔸The role of the Consumer - What to focus on, and what to not when choosing food. The awareness of our strong buying signal. The need to support the farmers directly. The impact of going vegan.

🔸Fake Meat - is it a viable solution? - Is it good for human health? Does it have less environmental footprint than beef production?

The one-and-only Christian Thibaudeau is back for a part 3 on Neurotyping!

This time, we centre the discussion on supplementation strategies that help to either neurologically activate or inhibit or brains and bodies. Said another way, we explore Christian’s favourite supplements that help you get fired up as well as assisting with the critical role of recovery.

It’s always a pleasure to talk with Christian. His weight training and neurochemistry wisdom is off the charts! He is an absolute legend, has a great sense of humour, and his deep experience and knowledge just drops off of him. Every convo with Christian educates to a high level, and this episode is no exception!

 

PLEAE NOTE: Supplementation should be layered on top of doing every thing right with DIET FIRST. An optimised Diet should account for the super majority of your nutritional requirements to live well and perform well. IF you want to be COMPLETELY dialled in in the gym, there are natural performance enhancement strategies that are supported by Supplementation. Lastly, if you have certain genetic DNA polymorphisms (SNPs) or have mal-absorption issues due to gut issues and enzyme production - supplementation can SAVE you from deficiency.

  

Here’s what we discuss:

‘Pre-Class’ Convo:

🔹 An update from last time - including Christian’s holiday and his baby son

🔹 Gym Talk - Christian’s Favourite Training Bars and why, Home Gym setup, value of Unstable/Micro-Isolation Training, and Christian’s 600lbs Squat past

 

Intelligent Supplementation Strategies:

🔸 Inhibitory Supplements - molecules that help shut your brain down and calm your central nervous system

🔸 Excitatory Supplements - the molecules and supplements that increase Dopamine without burning out with stimulants such as caffeine and preworkout

🔸 Isolated supplements vs whole food - Discussing the importance of both, how to create the biggest effect, and what to do if you have a nutritionally dense diet

🔸 Optimising timing for better performance and recovery - Using steve’s diet and supplementing as an example. Pre workout, Post Workout and Evening.

🔸 The significance of sleep on muscle building - Why Christian rates early sleeps as a top priority for all his clients

🔸 Casein before bed? - Christian delivers the reality about this long-standing bodybuilding ritual

🔸 The importance of (low GI) Carbs before bed - the effect a carb meal has on sleep and relaxation

🔸 The value of NO supplement days - Christian explains the anabolic and sensitisation benefits of days of LOW protein and no supplements vs high-supplementation every day

🔸 Periodising Your Supplementation - Priming Days! - Christian reframes and defines a smart strategy of supplementing to maximising gains whilst respecting peoples need for daily habits

🔸 Question your long-term supplementation - The issues with mindless long-term supplementation

🔸 Can you change your Neurotype through supplementation? - Are we able to change ourselves from a Type 3 to a Type 1B?

🔸 Supplementing as a Type 3 doing Keto - The downside of Keto for Type 3’s, and how to manage the downsides to benefit from the Keto benefits

We’ve got the YouTube star Frank Tufano on the podcast today. He’s known for his mostly raw Carnivore nose-to-tail diet, his entertaining videos taking down vegan propaganda, his deep nutritional knowledge and his ancestral appreciation to living optimally within our modern day lives. 

People that follow me on social know I can get triggered by the bombardment of vegan propaganda, and that I oppose the plant-based arguments posed around nutrition, animal suffering, and sustainability. That I feel we are all being duped for the benefit of profits and flawed ideology.

So in a world with increasing noise, fanfare and pseudo-science around the the Vegan diet, there is a need for two things. One, for useful and true nutritional information regarding the historical and current values of animal-nutrition to reach us, and two, for many informed individuals to stand up against the dis-information of the Anti-Meat & Vegan Propaganda that spreads like wildfire, gets blindly accepted as fact, and lives in perpetuity.

But more than that, you need relatability. You need to meet this demographic where they hang out. And you need to be likeable, entertaining and non-apologetic about ruffling some feathers... whilst also being a trusted authority with integrity.

 

That’s what you get with Frank Tufano.

 

This is what we discuss:

🔸Frank's beginning- Being a triplet, ridden with health issues, building his YouTube channel & getting nutritionally educated

🔸Where Frank gets his passion from?- Why does he care so much about fighting a losing battle?

🔸Frank’s uniqueness & experiments- How Frank is a canary in the coal mine with intolerances, and some wacky self-experiments

🔸Challenging the Status Quo and Veganism- the struggles to get the truth out when it goes against everything we ‘know’, and why anti-vegan dialog is important for us all.

🔸Frank’s ancestral living, logical and nutritional context- and how appreciating all three helps him find confidence

🔸Ignorance of how food gets on our plates- and how this disconnect is causing much of the ideological battles

🔸Modern-Day Plant Food vs Wild Ancestral Plant Food- and what Frank thinks about consuming domesticated plant foods

🔸Franks issues with the rise in Fake Meat- Discussing the perception, ingredients and the ethics.

🔸The underlying tenants of a BAD Modern Diet- Frank talks through the issues that need eliminating, reducing or upgrading

🔸Frank’s pragmatism on Plant Foods and Processed foods- His flexibility, what his family eat and his personal risk management tolerance

🔸What is in Frank’s Carnivore Nose-to-tail mostly raw diet?- Staples, preparation approaches and occasionals

🔸Eating raw Organ Meats- What you need to know, and why people can get sick with introducing new foods

🔸Franks Blood Work and Markers- Frank shares all his blood results, including risk factors and surge in testosterone

🔸Are there any nutritional gaps in Frank’s all-meat diet?- Would he benefit from eating certain plant foods? What about antioxidants?

🔸What Frank dislikes about the Carnivore messaging and community- and what needs to be done to make meat-dominant diet(s) more accessible and socially acceptable. 

 

Also, there are loads of valuable nutrition knowledge bombs peppered throughout! Things on cholesterol, animal-only nutrients, vegetable oils, MTHFR, nutritional synergy, omega 6’s, Vitamin D and much more.

Sal Di Stefanois the lead host of the incredible and hugely popular health, fitness & lifestyle podcast show Mind Pump. With 22+ years experience and wisdom, Sal combines forces with Adam and Justin to make the most entertaining, original, raw and real podcast on all things to do with getting in shape, sharpening your mindset, being well and generally navigating modern life.

Mind Pump & Sal inspired AdapNation’s creation, so it was a true privilege to be speaking with one of the Podcast Host greats. You’ll probably sense some of Steve’s fan boy love coming through!

 

We cover sooooo much in this chat. The theme of the discussion is really about finding a place of intuitive wellness and wellbeing, and Sal navigating us through his learning and journey from an muscle-obsessed kid through to a jacked but ill 30 year old, and now to having the whole package of physique, wisdom and great health.

Sal drops so many pearls of wisdom. You’ll love his appreciation for traditional wisdom, his intuitive approach to wellness, and his great analogies.

 

DISCLAIMER: Steve was REALLY ill at time of recording. Energy was a little low as a result. We used this episode to unpack what might be going on given his recent diet interventions. It was pretty fascinating to discuss and explore with the audience and Sal - and goes to show the value of being open minded, being comfortable being vulnerable, and seeking opinions from others. 

P.S. I (Steve) was back to full strength shortly after recording, bar the weird persistent hand peeling thing. I changed nothing at all. Odd - or just a flu/virus thing that came out of nowhere. The mysteries of the human body...   

 

Here’s the range of topics we discuss:

🔸Getting to know Sal & Mind Pump - The objectives of Mind Pump, Sal’s relationship with weight and muscles since 12 years old, his body rebelling against him at 30, and his journey to nutritional and wellness intuition

🔸The Unknown Unknowns of Wellness and Longevity - The complexity of human metabolism and the need to re-learn behaviours and value tradition/evolution

🔸Can you have Wellness & a Great Physique? - How Sal has navigated these two seemingly conflicting goals, and how being health looks great

🔸The Life-Changing Effect of Training - Sal talks about the mindset shift and life value when you shift from outcome focussed to enjoying the process.

🔸Valuing Wisdom over Knowledge - Hearing Sal explain the two, and why he favours wisdom the anger he goes at this

🔸The benefits of simplifying your life - Detachment from modern pressures and needs and freedom of not identifying with stuff.

🔸Power of Fasting - From food and digital. All the benefits Sal sees from including a fasting practice in your life

🔸Total Value of a Food Choice - how Sal thinks about his food choices, and how eating HEALTHY is incredibly enjoyable for him. Hedonism vs the whole package.

🔸Intuitive Eating & Listening to Your Body - how Sal has arrived at this place and the diversity of Bio-individuality

🔸Sal’s thoughts on Meat-Dominant and Low-Plant diets - as it relates to health and wellness? Is he comfortable with the claims?

🔸The Universal Truths of a Healthy Diet - There are a wild variety of ways that we can eat and be healthy. The commonality is...

🔸Steve’s Poor Health ‘Episode' - Is it a Diet deficiency, Diet incompatibility, bacterial overgrowth or…  toxicity dumping?

🔸Preparing Kids for the Future - Sal’s Duties and Priorities in helping his Kids be ready for an uncertain future

Almost in every AdapNation episode, we attempt to take a BIG chunk out of one very specific subject, with the goal of deep thinking and exploring together. To double-click and really get intimate with the issue and solutions. 

This episode is different. This episode is about all the SMALL things, that when stitched together make a BIG difference to physical and mental wellbeing.

Bryn and Steve have a casual conversation where they call out the habits they have either mastered or are currently working on developing. For an easy going chat, you’ll be surprised how many habit they share, as well as some of the problems they are both trying to work on within their lives to increase their health and wellbeing.

The reality is, no one is perfect. We may ‘know’ what we should do, but 100% execution against your plan and standards is not possible. Balls get dropped. Some days are a bit meh. We’re all human. 

 

Hopefully this conversation lets you in to the many imperfections of Bryn and Steve, combined with the honesty and commitment to ever optimise and improve. To #BeYourBest - one day at a time.

 

35 HABITS in total were discussed! Here’s a highlight of a few…

1️⃣ Embracing more solitude and times of nothingness

2️⃣ Cold Shower with Wim Hof Breathing & Boom-Boom Anchoring...

3️⃣ Setting up for Focussed Deep Work

4️⃣ Trying to intuitively listen to my body more

5️⃣ What are the FEWEST things need for optimal wellness vs what else needs to be added

6️⃣ Digital Sunset & Bedroom Binaural beats...

7️⃣ Back Sleeping with Neck Pillow

8️⃣ Regular Fasting practice 

9️⃣ Breaking some everyday mindless consumption defaults

🔟 Googling opposing views to prevent being dogmatic and biased

The movement of Low Carb Real Food dieting approaches is being embraced globally by health professionals who are seeing incredible results with their patients.

As progressive healthcare and health-conscious individuals look to more deeply understand the mechanisms of Diabetes, Obesity, Insulin Resistance, Heart Disease, Hypertension and generally Metabolic Syndrome, many are landing on the idea that current lifestyle diseases are being triggered and fuelled by chronically elevated Insulin levels.

Sam Feltham is one many UK-based health professionals who is attempting to educate and influence the British (and Global) Healthcare System into considering the LCHF way of eating as a highly effective approach to treating Diabetes, Obesity and other associated modern diseases.

Sam comes with his own super interesting story. He used his own body to show the HUGE variance in body composition, waist measurement, digestive health and sense of wellbeing when comparing a Low Carb Real Food, Low Fat Processed Food and Low Fat Vegan Diet against one another. The results of his well controlled and intelligently designed n=1 experiment are staggering, and totally break our conventional wisdom that 'a Calorie is a Calorie’ when it comes to weight loss! 

Sam is a force for good. He has setup and directs a educational charity called Public Health Collaboration, where the goal is to introduce our UK NHS as well as the public to the idea of treating modern western diseases with a Low Carb approach, as well as reclaiming your body and wellbeing. Through his philanthropic efforts so far, he has already made a difference, but it’s just the start. There is A LOT to do. Decades of generational wisdom to compete with.

 

So, if you’re curious as to what this crazy body fat experiment is about, Sam’s hypothesis behind the benefits of a LCHF diet, and want some real world references that make the discussion hugely relevant… then absolutely do listen in.

 

Here’s what we discuss:

1️⃣ Sam Feltham’s Journey - From snowboarding & bootcamps, to podcaster and charity director 

2️⃣ The Body Fat Experiment Design - Pitting 5700kcal LCHF vs Low Fat Processed Food vs Low Fat Vegan Real Food

3️⃣ Body Fat Experiment: Weight & Waist results - Be ready to be confused!

4️⃣ Body Fat Experiment: Energy, Mood, Digestion, Symptoms - How Sam felt between the 3.5 dieting approaches 

5️⃣ Why The Crazy Results? - Discussing hormones, Biochemical disruption, value of macronutrients in body, removal vs storage of excess energy...

6️⃣ Steve’s LCHF Meat-Dominant Anecdote - How Steve is struggling for the first time to bulk on a massive 4300kcal budget

7️⃣ High Carb and/or Vegan Diet Approaches - Sam discusses the common hormonal dis-regulation issues seen in these diets long term

8️⃣ The Data suggesting a High Fat diet is to be embraced - Discussing the Virta study, Israeli high fat study and Diabetes.co.uk backed Low Carb Program results

9️⃣ We’re following or surpassing the Nutritional Guidelines! - Sam shares stats that demonstrate high compliance, yet increasingly poor health outcomes

🔟 Public Healthcare bodies starting to support the LCHF dieting approach - The changes and wins so far, and how to engage your GP or Nurse on the subject of trying a Low Carb diet for health reasons and de-subscribing

*️⃣ Sam’s Cool Initiatives! - Real Food Day and Real Food Rocks

Food is so political and emotionally charged, albeit we don’t often stop to realise just how engulfed food actually is with politics. The reality is, food availability, production and choice has been a driving force behind a lot of our historical disputes and conflict.

However, it does feel that the debate around food is reaching fever-pitch, and this is largely driven by the popularity and well-organised messaging of the growing vegan community.

And whilst debate is healthy and necessary to advance and create better solutions, the vegan propaganda fuelled more by ideology and questionable / fallacious ‘facts’ is creating an incredible divide and hurtful judgement and social pressure. Where belief is the driving force - not real-world practical evidence and workable solutions. 

So, in this podcast Steve and Bryn look to answer the question “Should it be Veganisim vs All other choices, or should it be Big Food vs Real Food?”. Is a Vegan life and diet the Elixir for life that we are lead to believe, or is there an alternative future that delivers more goodness to humans, the planet and drives out suffering of living creatures?

 

This podcast looks to break down the Vegan argument and recommendations, offers a counter position, and then closes on a list of Steve’s recommendations that in his opinion would deliver a better outcome on all levels.

 

Here’s what we discuss:

1️⃣ Gym Influence on nutrition & the Protein Challenge - Bryn explores the impact gym owners have on peoples health via nutritional choices, and the protein deficiency issues.

2️⃣ Vegan as the ‘Holy Grail’?- The best, kindest and healthiest. Is that true? Are you wrong to be an omnivore?

3️⃣ The BIG issues - What are the big issues we are grappling with today with our food systems?

4️⃣ What is REAL food? - Steve offers his view on the definitions between real food vs processed food. The proliferation of vegan processed food.

5️⃣ Abundant Choice and Processed Food proliferation - Do we need an anti-capitalist response? Is all the production necessary to survive and thrive?

6️⃣ We’re already on a Plant -Dominant diet- We dissect the average diet that seems to be failing us as a species

7️⃣ Observing our Primal Instincts - Talking about what people do when on reality survival shows

8️⃣ Is nature really that cruel? - Why does the ‘elixir of life’ get rejected by kids, cause gut issues, and send us on a spiralling decline of health? 

9️⃣ Attempting to Out Do Nature - We are we fighting against nature? Why the need for this god-like control - assuming we know best for human health, versus nature itself?

🔟 Everyone has Blood On Their Hands - Plant Agriculture is not innocent. How Monocrops cause massive destruction to life and the planet 

#️⃣ How can Feeling So Good be So Wrong? - Exploring the healthy, energy, physique, mood and enjoyment outcomes of a diet with animal-nutrition. Is nature really that twisted?

 

🍽 Steve’s Diet Decisions & Recommendations - With optimal nutrition, least suffering and nourishing the planet in mind, Steve’s shares his controversial diet decisions for his family

It’s time to UNLEARN Nutrition! 

We're quickly coming to realise that much of what we’ve been taught and recommended when it comes to food is wrong. Many people believe we are doing the complete OPPOSITE to what is considered optimum human nutrition!

What?! Yep - there are many many motives at play that drive the messaging and supply of food, and most of these motives are not in support of you and I.

To explore this controversial but fascinating idea, we have the very talented Brian Sanders onto the Podcast. Brian quit his engineering career to commit his life to exploring and sharing the truth about nutrition, and to call out all the lies we’ve been told about food for the last 100 years.

Brian runs a very popular and compelling Podcast called Peak Human, and is soon to be releasing the product of his life's work - a feature film called Food Lies. A film looking to correct all the manipulative wrongs of documentaries such as Cowspiracy, What The Health and Fork Over Knives.

Brian is a rare breed. He combines smarts, curiosity, tech skills, film skills, critical thinking and a deep passion to fight against manipulation and the mistakes that are making us fatter and sicker. He combines and connects the wisdom of 100’s of deep specialists in the various ares of expertise from books, his interviews, his filming and personal anecdote, to create a unique and all encompassing view of what are the optimal nutritional principles for human health. Oh, and they aren’t what you’ve been told!

 

I’m sure you’ll love this discussion, and should learn a bunch along the way. We make extensive references to other people and podcasts, which you can see below. Now, get strapped in and get ready to have your paradigm shattered!

 

Here’s what we discuss: 

1️⃣ Brian’s family and personal health motivation behind exposing the lies, exploring the truths and giving everything to sharing what he has learnt

2️⃣ Chronic Disease is not normal, nor is it chronic - Change your diet and taking back what human health should be

3️⃣ It is all one big Conspiracy? - If we’ve got it all so wrong, how? What were the motives? Was there intention? What drives our nutritional guidelines? Brian exposes the truths.

4️⃣ We’re fat yet malnourished! - What are the reasons for this paradox? How can we have such abundance yet have so little good health?

5️⃣ Plant vs Animal Nutrition - How we’ve got it backwards. Discussing nutrition density and bioavailability, protein needs and toxicity

6️⃣ We're kidding ourselves! We’re too gullible - Forgetting our evolutionary backdrop of 2 million years and thinking we can change everything and find a new elixir for life. Where has sceptical critical thinking gone in normal day-to-day life?

7️⃣ We live in an Era of Disinformation - If we repeat a lie enough times, we believe it as fact. Generational wisdom. But what lies are we talking about?

8️⃣ A Crazy insane man… until people realise the truth - How difficult it is for Brian and peers to offer their breakthroughs without being institutionalised. Do we have Paradigm Paralysis?

9️⃣ What’s the Optimal Human Diet - Brian shares the SAPIEN framework. A few basic principles that have been forgotten for far too long. (See below for teaser)

🔟 There is no such thing as Essential Carbs - Our bodies need essential Proteins and Fats to function. But do we need carbohydrates to be human?

*️⃣ #veganlies - How vegan propaganda has and is the driving force behind our nutrition choices today. Brian exposes some disinformation and deceit. Intent may be good, but execution and arguments are fundamentally flawed.

*️⃣ How are some Vegans thriving? - Brian explains how some individuals are seemingly thriving on a vegan diet

*️⃣ Really care about Planet, Animal Suffering & Your Loved Ones? - If so, there is a need to reframe the problem and put in place productive campaigns and food industry practices. Brian explains.

 

Brian’s Optimal Human Nutrition Framework - SAPIEN:

1️⃣ Nutrient Dense Highly Bioavailable Whole foods

2️⃣ Focus on Protein, Embrace Fat and Minimise Carbs

3️⃣ Avoid Sugar, Refined Grains and Vegetable Oils

4️⃣ Don’t Always Be Eating and Eat With The Seasons

5️⃣ Take steps to Reduce Toxicity in your food choices

As I continue on my journey of leading the best life possible, a common theme seems to keep coming up time and again. EVOLUTION.

More specifically, it seems to be that it’s the Evolutionary Mismatch which is at the root cause of all our physical health, mental health and environmental issues we suffer with today. Through technology, power, money and the desire to control everything (including life and death itself), we’ve stumbled so far off the beaten track that we have alien-like new world views that ignore the prior 2 million years of human evolution. 

As a theme that has and will continue to feature as part of AdapNation’s messaging, we explore this idea of Evolutionary Mismatch with Dr. Stephen Hussey in this episode.

 

Stephen is an American Chiropractor, a Functional Medicine Practitioner, Health Coach and Author. He’s got an interesting story of suffering with many illnesses and auto immune conditions including Type 1 Diabetes as a young child, and how through his realisation to return to a lifestyle that nature intended that his health drastically changed for the better. What changed Stephen’s health was the eureka moment of realising he had a huge Evolutionary Mismatch in his current environment, lifestyle and nutrition...

 

If you want to develop your framework for understanding this key concept, want to know more about the value of proper movement as it relates to health, and would like some key takeaways on how to improve your wellbeing, then this episode is worth checking out. Oh, and if you like touching third rail ethically charged topics too… then you need to get involved!

 

Here’s what we discuss:

1️⃣ Stephen's myriad of health struggles from 2 years old, and how lifestyle and traditional medicine failed him

2️⃣ How Stephen addressed most of his illness and allergies through changing his nutrition and lifestyle choices

3️⃣ His Four Penny Dropping Realisations - Natural Selection, Homo Genus Lineage, Slowness of Evolution & Inability to Adapt to Rapid Environmental Changes

4️⃣ Equal human capability? - With the pressures of natural selection, is it right to expect equal opportunity and capability for every human?

5️⃣ Our obsession with avoiding death at all costs - Are we attempting to assume a divine role in nature? Is it realistic to have so many net-consumers?

6️⃣ Are we Devolving as a species due to our nutrition and lifestyle choices?

7️⃣ The Evolutionary Movement Disconnect - Joint nutrition deficiencies, Joint toxic-induced degeneration, reduced mobility, improper and insufficient motion

8️⃣ Practical tips on how to better align with our innate needs for proper human movement and align with our evolutionary biological preference

9️⃣ The tainted rep & real value of Chiropractic Services - exploring why the practice has been previously dismissed, and what the real role and value of Chiropractics is. Much more than adjustments...

🔟 A new Framework for evaluating lifestyle choices - Evolution. What have we evolved to do for the 99.95% of our history, prior to the industrial revolution?

NOTE: This is Part 2 of 2. Check out Episode #77 for Part 1.

Have you noticed the emergence of the Carnivore Diet as of late? Is it a deliberate culture clash with the Vegan Community, a naive and neanderthal chest-beating F’ you to sustainability, animals, and human health, or just an excuse to eat the foods we like?

Or, is there something to it? Dr. Paul Saladino combined with a burgeoning cohort of respectable doctors, scientists, anthropologists and nutritionists thinks there is. And it’s not just the academics - there is an expanding community of tens of thousands of every day people that were once sick, overweight and dealt the death blow of autoimmune and chronic disease who are thriving! What gives?!

Be prepared to be blown away!

Dr Paul Saladino attempts to shatter the nutritional paradigms on optimal health, meat, plant-based nutrition and our evolutionary biological preference to thrive. Paul believes, backed up with with encyclopaedic knowledge and tons of scientific facts, that Humans are actually FACULTATIVE CARNIVORES.

That we evolved to be the number one species on the planet due to a Carnivorous diet feeding our explosive brain development, and that our body and biology leaves many clues that we’ve adapted to be carnivores who in times of desperation and starvation could tolerate low doses of plant-based foods.

 

WHAT!?!?!

BIG super important topic. As a result, this 2h convo is broken into two parts. Here’s what you can expect to hear across both:

 

P.S. AdapNation have produced a Meat-Dominant Article that condenses the arguments and guidance here. Proving very popular!

 

PART 1 (#77) - WHY CARNIVORE?

1️⃣ Cured! - Seeing 1000’s of untreatable people with Chronic Disease and Autoimmune Conditions getting better on a Carnivore Diet

2️⃣ The Perfect Food - How everything we need to thrive is found in the perfect form and ratios within Nose-To-Tail Animal-Based nutrition - without any toxins.

3️⃣ Cause of Disease - How Dr. Saladino believes plant-based nutrition is the driving force in todays epidemic rates of chronic diseases

4️⃣ Evolution - Exploring evolutionarily and biological evidence that suggest that Humans are Facultative Carnivores that resort to Plants only as survival food

5️⃣ Youth vs Health - Not confusing resilient Youth with Health, and how we’ve not adapted to consuming a plant-dominant diet

6️⃣ Chemical Warfare - Plants defence against predators (including humans) is a deluge of toxins, pesticides and anti-nutrients 

7️⃣ Plants are not healthy - How most Plants have a net-negative impact on human health, and the benefits are sketchy at best (e.g. Resveratrol, Curcumin, Sulforaphane) 

8️⃣ Antioxidants - How plant-based Antioxidant properties are not worth it, and we can generate our own antioxidant state through non-nutritional means

9️⃣ Fibre - Debunking the biggest myth of all… the need for fibre for optimal health, microbiome diversity and digestive health

🔟 Farting - Why gas, bloat and passing wind is not normal if you are healthy

  

PART 2 (#78) - PRACTICAL & FLEXIBLE APPLICATION

1️⃣ Mass Adoption? - Is it a practical, affordable and realistic way of eating for the masses, or just the few die hards?

2️⃣ Environmental Sustainability - The reality of Green Has Gases across agriculture and industry, and how more ruminants is part of the solution 

3️⃣ Commercial Meat or Plants? - Paul answers what he’s choose if given the ultimatum

4️⃣ Affordability - How to make the Carnivore diet affordable and the need to prioritise nutrition over all else

5️⃣ Cooking - Does cooking, pressure cooking and fermentation eliminate the toxins in plants?

6️⃣ Wine, Coffee & Chocolate - Do these plant-based foods have a healthy place in our diet?

7️⃣ No Go’s & Safe Plants - Pauls position on the number one category of plat-based foods to avoid, and which plant foods are net-neutral to health

8️⃣ Crunch, Sweetness & Spice - Paul’s recommendations on getting crunch into a carnivorous diet, calming your sweet need and how to think about herbs and spices

9️⃣ Eggs & Dairy - Are these in our out on a Carnivore diet, and why.

🔟 Poison is in the Dose - We explore quality of life needs, dose and tolerance to plant-based foods, and who benefits most from a Strict Carnivore Diet
