Dr. Cate Shanahan, “The Energy Doctor,” is a Cornell-trained physician-scientist whose works have inspired entire movements involving bone broth, live-culture ferments, and seed oil-free business empires. Together, with NBA legend Gary Vitti, she created the LA Lakers PRO Nutrition program, which has been emulated by elite championship teams around the world. Dr. Cate is back for a threepeat to discuss her new book Dark Calories, in which she introduces you to well-respected scientists who warn that vegetable oils are a public health disaster, wreaking havoc on your body’s cells by depleting antioxidants and promoting free radical toxicity. Their many effects include: Uncontrollable hunger, resulting in the need for drugs to maintain your weight Inflammatory fat buildup under your skin and within your internal organs and arteries Blood sugar swings that promote bad moods and antisocial behavior Disrupted brain energy, concentration problems, and mental illnesses Intracellular oxidative stress that promotes cancer development Gut inflammation, bloating, heartburn, and "the runs" Important protein powder note: During our discussion, Dr. Cate and I expose the issues with the oxidation and processing of protein powders. Oxidation can indeed be an issue for all food and supplement products. This is why, at my supplements company Kion, we negotiate higher up the supply chain to get fresher raw ingredients, have negotiated rights to reject products based on oxidation and use an ISO-certified fulfillment center specialized and certified for food warehousing and fulfillment.

Dave Pascoe is a recently retired network security architect/engineer, who at age 61 looks, feels, and behaves like a 38-year-old.  That's because according to epigenetic age testing, Dave's cellular/biological age is 38! In today's episode, you'll get to discover how Dave is defying the aging process through his unique lifestyle approach. Despite not adhering to strict calorie restriction or veganism, his aging rate reached an impressive 0.66—placing him among the top contenders at the Rejuvenation Olympics (similar to my recent guest, Julie Gibson Clark). While quite a bit more involved than Julie Gibson Clark's protocol, some say Dave's approach to biohacking and longevity, costing him approximately $15,000/year, is quite a bit more affordable and more attainable to the average person than billionaire Bryan Johnson's expenditure of $2 million/year! Throughout the show, you'll get to uncover Dave's daily routine for remarkable health and vitality, from his consistent weight-bearing exercise since 2008 and post-workout sauna sessions to his nutrient-dense diet that avoids calorie counting. As the conversation progresses, you'll also explore Dave's use of supplements like DHEA, pregnenolone, and vitamin D to support his testosterone levels and overall well-being. Additionally, we touch upon the potential impact of cold thermogenesis, sleep protocols, and light mitigation techniques on longevity.

We even delve into the fascinating topic of polygraphs—did you know it's possible to beat one by focusing on the polygrapher rather than the machine itself? Andrew will also reveal why biohacking is a necessity for those in high-stress fields like espionage.

Hugo and Ross Turner are twin brothers and professional adventurers. I first discovered them when I came across their various diet and fitness experiments, in which they have studied the differences between a vegan vs. omnivore diet, weighted vs. body weight gym programs, animal protein vs. plant protein for muscle gain, and a 20-minute vs. a 40-minute gym program to discover if 40 minutes actually offers twice the benefits (you'd be surprised at the results, which we discuss in this podcast!). In 2007, Hugo narrowly missed paralysis after breaking his neck in a diving accident. In the mix of emotions that followed, a drive emerged to pursue their passion for exploration, anchored by three values: purpose, discovery, and always doing it together. Ross and Hugo have since gone on to complete many expeditions which include rowing the Atlantic Ocean, attempting to cross the Greenland ice cap, climbing Mt. Elbrus, and reaching several of the world’s continental poles of inaccessibility. Over the years, the twins have compared the clothing systems, kits, and food of past explorers against the latest modern equivalents to understand the performance differences. Working with scientific teams, they have provided unique insights into how the human body is affected by technology. They have reached several of the world's poles of inaccessibility while testing technology that helps fight climate change (like electric motorbikes), and recently tested a yacht powered by an electric motor and hydrogen fuel cell. These projects have supported the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.‍In this episode, you'll get an insider's look into the Turner Twins' various experiments and journeys mentioned above, plus you'll discover much more about their adventurous, explorative, and innovative lives. With that said, let's dive into how they can enhance your understanding of geography, technology, science, human performance, and history!

In an era of popular weight loss drugs, including GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic (semaglutide), Victoza (liraglutide), Wegovy, and Saxenda, many people are looking for safer, natural alternatives. Calocurb (use code BEN10 to save 10%) is a patented natural plant-based supplement clinically proven to reduce hunger by 30%, cravings by 40%, and calorie intake by an average of 18% — in just an hour. It does this by stimulating the body's own "feel full" hunger hormones cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY). In this episode, Dr. Edward Walker, a scientist and lecturer who helped develop Calocurb, will introduce you to the concept of the "bitter break" and the powerful plant extract, Amarasate, which has shown remarkable results in stimulating anti-appetite hormones when delivered to the small intestine. You'll also get to explore the science behind how this extract works, its impact on glucose and insulin levels, and much more! Over the last 13 years, Dr. Walker's primary research focus has been the investigation of plant-based appetite suppressants that may reduce hunger and support healthy food choices. This work led to the development of Amarasate, a novel New Zealand hops-based appetite suppressant that shares an overlapping mode of action with a new class of effective GLP-1-based anti-obesity drugs. He is passionate about plant-based nutraceuticals and believes that with the appropriate scientific research, they have the potential to improve health and wellness, and even prevent or delay the development of chronic disease. Whether you're interested in nutrition, weight management, or cutting-edge health science, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss. Tune in and discover how you can take control of your cravings and support your journey to better health!
