Peak Human - Unbiased Nutrition Info for Optimum Health, Fitness & Living

One of my favorite humans I have never met in person, Lierre Keith, shares a ton of information with us today. We talked for almost 2 hours and could have gone longer. You may recognize her from the Netflix film The Magic Pill - she was a hardcore vegan for 20 years and lived the lifestyle with passion. I won't give away everything, but she wholeheartedly enjoys animal products now and wrote a boo...

You may be wondering what happened to that plant based couple I talked to in episode 1… well they haven't withered away from their poor diet just yet. Just joking it isn't too bad and they seem to be pretty savvy with not eating a lot of the plant-based trash. You'll also notice they started eating sardines in this episode, so they should be getting a great boost of nutrition there to keep their b...

We've got Amy Berger here to tell us about your noggin and how to keep it working well. She's got a masters in human nutrition, she's a certified nutrition specialist and a nutritional therapy practitioner, and an expert on Alzheimer's disease. What's great about her is she's taken the info from the cutting edge research being done in brain chemistry, metabolic disease, dementia, alzheimer's, cogn...

Hello everyone! Wanted to do an update on the Food Lies film: we're shooting at low carb USA in San Diego in a couple weeks with Ivor and a couple other doctors, including the preeminent researcher in this field (along with Dr. Steve Phinney) Dr. Jeff Volek who's studies are actually mentioned a few times in this episode. Really excited about this shoot and our next one at conference in Ohio next...

Denise is a joyful ball of energy and talent. She speaks at conferences, writes books, and is an all around great person. I love her view on things and her balanced approach, but she does lean towards the high carb diet side. But here's the thing - she advocates eating a lot of nutrient dense animal products, no sugar, grains, or vegetable oils - so a lot to agree with there. I want everyone to he...

Today we have the mighty Dom D'Agostino who is at the forefront of the science behind why low carb diets work and specifically the more extreme form of a low carb diet you've probably heard a lot about lately - the ketogenic diet. It can be used therapeutically with the help of doctors to treat and reverse diseases like type 2 diabetes and epilepsy. It can also help the everyday person lose a lot...

Today I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Zoe Harcombe has a PhD in public health nutrition, she speaks at conferences around the world, she's wrote many books, and she's a true gem. She currently lives in rural England and apparently has a great mic and internet connection because she sounded like she was in studio with me. She's an expert on dietary guidelines (and how unscientific our curre...

For many this man needs no intro, he's the savage carnivore orthopedic surgeon who deadlifts 700 something pounds. He's lighting up Instagram and twitter these days as the unofficial president of the carnivore movement that I've just named him. Anyway, he's a great guy and shares a lot of wisdom in this episode. And no, he doesn't think everyone should be a carnivore and either do I. We need to lo...

Today we have Professor Tim Noakes and I gotta say I was so excited to interview such a highly respected and world renowned scientist and researcher. He has published more than 750 scientific books and articles. He has been cited more than 16,000 times in scientific literature and has been rated an A1 scientist for a second 5-year term.  He founded the Noakes Foundation which does critical researc...

Our first guest is the great Dr. Ted Naiman. Maybe you know who that is, maybe you don't…. But I'll just say, listen to the man. Some of this may be new to people who aren't total nutrition nerds - but just know it's the truth. Dr. Naiman might be the most on-point authority on how your metabolism works, how to stay lean and fit, and how to eat optimally. He has a ton of experience with thousands...

This episode gives you a complete look at nutrition. Learn what to eat, what not to eat, and why. Learn how basically all chronic diseases come from us moving away from the foods our ancestors ate (you know, the ones free of all chronic diseases). Everything will make a lot more sense after this episode. Preorder the film here: http://indiegogo.com/projects/food-lies-post   Show Notes  Pat and Mar...

Hi Everyone, I'm Brian Sanders, and I'm making a feature length documentary called Food Lies which is about the sordid history of our dietary guidelines, the epidemic of chronic disease and obesity that followed, what the new science is telling us humans should actually be eating, and how to eat that food sustainably. As I make the film, I'm talking to a bunch of experts who have graciously lent m...
