Hello everyone, welcome back. I've been getting a lot of questions on dairy, grains, food processing, and what humans evolved to eat. This is a very nuanced topic so I wanted to do a thorough podcast with probably the best person in the world to speak on this, Dr. Bill Schindler. We frame this whole conversation around a recent New York Times opinion piece called "The end of meat is here" https://...

Hey, hey! How's everyone doing? We're living in some strange times. I really hope we find a way to end racism in the US and the world and I hope justice is served for that horrible police officer. I'm here in LA and just tried to go to the post office and found that it was closed and storefronts in the Venice / Marina Del Rey area were being boarded up. We all got messages to our phones saying a c...

Part 83 - Ivor Cummins on Vitamin D, the Immune System, Severe COVID Cases, and Locking People in Their Homes 12.05.2020 1:29:21

Hey there friends, hope everyone is well. I'm on a vitamin D roll over here with another great guest talking about how it is a central part of almost every system in our body, including (and maybe most importantly these days) our immune system. Again I want to stress that D is not a vitamin, but a pre-hormone. I know talking about vitamins can make many people's eyes glaze over. I am kind of one o...
