Part 128 - Dr. Stephen Hussey MS, DC on a New Paradigm Of Heart Disease 30.06.2021

We actually are filming a bit more for the Food Lies documentary in a few weeks at a great ranch in Oklahoma. I can't stress enough the lengths we are going to to make this the absolute best film possible. We need a mic-dropper, jaw-dropper, kale shake dropping film. ANything less won't work. It won't reach the mainstream. It won't reach Joe Cheeto out in Ohio. It won't reach the vegan in the coff...

Part 125 - Stephan Van Vliet on the Cutting Edge Science Proving Meat is a Health Food 09.06.2021

Hello everyone! Welcome back to the Peak HUman podcast, I'm Brian Sanders and I hope everyone is doing well and eating a Sapien diet and living that Sapien lifestyle. I guess I'll clarify what that is. Many people are already doing it without realizing it - I'm just trying to give it a name. It's really just what seems to be the natural human diet. It's a framework and isn't the same for everyone...

Hello everyone! I'm Brian Sanders and welcome back to the Peak Human podcast. Don't forget to start back at episode 1. This is that kind of podcast.

For new listeners I'm Brian Sanders and this was for my documentary Food Lies...

Part 121 - Marty Kendall on Protein Confusion, Flawed Rodent Research, Nutrient Density, Satiety, and Insulin 14.04.2021

We're back with Marty Kendall, my nutrient density brother from another mother! I've been following his work since we recorded our first episode 2.5 years ago and he's always doing something interesting and informative. We cover a very interesting "scandal" in the rodent nutrition study world. I won't spoil the details but it really is a shame these researchers took out this certain data, because...

Here we are at the end of the 4 part Africa series with my amazing friend Mary Ruddick. If you haven't listened to the previous 3, I'd suggest going back and starting at the beginning. I'd really recommend doing this for this entire podcast series. It's designed as an educational journey through the complex, conflicting world that is nutrition, health, food, the environment, and more. This episode...

Part 117 - The Hadza of Tanzania - What We Learned From Our Time with Them (w/ Mary Ruddick, CNC) 12.03.2021

Hello friends, we're back for another African adventure.  I implore you to watch the youtube version of this interview on the Food Lies youtube channel.

Part 115 - Dr. Cate Shanahan & Tucker Goodrich on the True Cause of Disease and How We Know This 05.02.2021

Today is a special show that I really enjoyed with 2 guests - Dr. Cate Shanahan and Tucker Goodrich. I had Tucker on years ago for episode 20 and he laid out the entire case against seed oils which was very compelling. Dr. Cate has been on twice already (more recently) and is a wealth of knowledge on many, many things, especially the dangers of seed oils and reinforcing the Sapien diet concepts. W...

Part 114 - Kyle Mamounis, PhD on Extreme Diet Experiments, the Cause of Metabolic Disease & Insulin Resistance, and the Problem with Nutrition Science 28.01.2021

We jump in the weeds pretty quick but it gets better as it goes on. This is an interesting one with a scientist who's studying mice and looking at how different fats affect disease. Kyle was on a mission to find "the perfect diet." He was raw vegan and moved to raw meat and organs. He thinks a big problem is the high PUFAs in our diet and unnatural iron from fortified grains. He also has some idea...

Part 113 - Ben Pakulski on How to Overcome Your Genetics (and Past), the Most Efficient Way to Build Muscle, and How to Eat 20.01.2021

Welcome back everyone! I'm Brian Sanders and this is Peak Human - the podcast where you start back at episode 1! I met Ben at our Toronto MeatUp in 2019 and really like him - maybe it's because he eats pretty similar to how I do - 2 Sapien meals per day of mostly animal foods and low anti-nutrient plant foods on the side. Seriously though he's really great and has an awesome mindset on pretty much...
