Podcast Notes Key Takeaways A consistent 8 hours (or more) of sleep is perhaps the most crucial reason for LeBron’s career longevityHot/cold contrast baths are LeBron’s go-to recovery methodTypically, this involves 5 minutes of each, cycled for 3xIn regards to nutrition, LeBron focuses more on what he doesn’t put in his body, as opposed to what he does“When the world and everything around you is at a rapid rate, or you feel like the pressure is mounting up… or you’re thinking ‘I don’t know if I can do this,’ it’s always important to take a moment to sit back, relax, calm your mind, take a couple deep breaths… and envision yourself in a better place” – LeBron James“Training isn’t just for professional athletes… Training is a lifestyle. It makes your mind fresh, it makes your body feel great, and it increases your focus.” – LeBron JamesRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWelcome back to Season 4 of Trained. To kick off our season, we’re sitting down with one of the greatest basketball players ever, LeBron James. LeBron is a three-time NBA champion, four-time MVP, and the current forward for the LA Lakers. With his trainer Mike Mancias, LeBron’s created a training routine that focuses not just on his day-to-day goals but on longevity — because he has no plans of stopping his career anytime soon. In this episode, LeBron and Mike give us an inside look into the deliberate approach that’s defined their training routine: how they’ve learned to optimize LeBron’s sleep, their approach to recovery through contrast hydrotherapy, and how they incorporate meditation into LeBron’s schedule. Because for LeBron and Mike, training isn’t just something they do in the gym; it’s a lifestyle. And one that needs to be planned.

Culture Apothecary with Alex Clark Key Takeaways  Understanding Big Food: Ten companies own the entity of our food system – these companies have outsized control over our food system, and they care more about profits than human healthOur ancestors would not recognize the “foods” that we eat today; most people do not realize that new ingredients have been snuck into our food supply over the last fifty yearsFollowing World War II, in search of a new market, the chemical companies shifted their focus towards American farmlands and launched a new war on the bugs and pests on American farmlandsThe World Health Organization classifies glyphosate as a known carcinogen, and yet, approximately 280 billion pounds of glyphosate are sprayed on American crops per year; about 80-90% of grain products on grocery store shelves contain very high levels of glyphosate Companies such as Bayer make the chemicals that destroy our soil and give us cancer, then also produce and profit from drugs designed to treat those cancers Studies that go against the interests of the agrochemical companies are rare because those same chemical companies fund the majority of the research in the industry The way that we are farming now is not sustainable; if we continue down our current path of spraying all these chemicals on our food and destroying the soil, then we will only have 55 years of harvests left before plantable soil is gone The fruits and vegetables in the grocery store are losing vitamin and mineral content because the soil they were harvested in is not as healthy as it once wasApproximately 77% of adults between the ages of 17 and 24 are ineligible for military service due to obesity Tips from Courtney Swan: Buy organic, buy local produce from nearby farmers, form a relationship with a local rancher, shop the perimeter of the grocery store, buy real foods with simple ingredients, prioritize protein, and eliminate ultra-processed foodsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgAn integrative nutritionist on a mission to change how America eats, Courtney Swan (aka @realfoodology on Instagram and host of the podcast of the same name) educates Alex on glyphosate, GMOs, how to start shopping for real food, and why parents need to choose between wellness and illness for their kids.  Thank you to our sponsors!  ⁠⁠Masa Chips⁠⁠ | Use code "REALALEXCLARK" for 20% OFF  ⁠⁠Wise Traditions⁠⁠ | Use code “ALEX” for $25 OFF  ⁠⁠Nimi Skincare⁠⁠ | Use code "ALEXCLARK" for 10% OFF  ⁠⁠YRefy⁠⁠ | Call (888) 502-2612  Courtney Swan  Instagram | ⁠⁠@Realfoodology⁠⁠  YouTube | ⁠⁠@Realfoodology⁠⁠  Website | ⁠realfoodology.com⁠⁠  Realfoodology Podcast | ⁠⁠@Realfoodology⁠⁠  Alex Clark Instagram | ⁠⁠@realalexclark⁠⁠  Instagram | ⁠⁠@poplitics⁠⁠  Facebook | ⁠⁠@realalexclark⁠⁠  X | ⁠⁠@yoalexrapz⁠⁠  YouTube | ⁠⁠@RealAlexClark⁠⁠  Spotify | ⁠⁠@Culture Apothecary⁠⁠  Apple Podcasts | ⁠⁠@Culture Apothecary⁠⁠  'Culture Apothecary' ⁠⁠Merch OUT NOW!⁠⁠ Glass tumblers, weekly wellness planners, hats, crewnecks and more.

Gabby Reece Show Podcast Notes Key Takeaways Surgery is a step, not the end goalSpeak with the best people you have access to, understand the different methods and procedures, and make the most informed decision you can for yourself – no one knows your body and what you are feeling better than youThe decision to get surgery should be beyond pain – maybe you experience: loss of force, loss of mobility and range of motion, inability to do the things you used to, limitations in complementary joints and muscles The work you put in before surgery pays off in recovery Post-surgery pain is real but you have to embrace it and push through to recover Ask yourself: “What does success look like for you?” – Dr. Kelly Starrett – then work backwards to understand what needs to get doneSet a plan and take agency over what you can control: dial in nutrition and hydration, move, ice, connect with a support system Surgery and recovery are mentally taxing: understand everyone’s role (surgeon, physical therapist, your role), quell anxiety by setting a plan, stay connected to any fitness and exercise community you had before, find a rehabilitation specialist to guide you through the processRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMy guests today are Dr. Kelly Starrett and Laird Hamilton. Each of us have had one of our joints replaced and we thought it would be fun and hopefully helpful to share our experiences. When did each of us realize after exhausting every route that the joint replacement surgery was the best idea? We discuss how to physically and mentally prepare for surgery, and share what physical therapy modalities were helpful for us. Like Kelly said "the surgery is the beginning of the journey" and what we do after is key. This conversation can be a tool for most athletic surgeries. Believe me, between us we have had lots of time and experience around "healing" and "getting better".

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways When buying supplements, always look for an NSF certificationIf you’re going to eat animal meat, make sure you’re healthy and frequently exercise“If you’re going to eat animal meat, you need to get off your butt”People process micronutrients and macronutrients differently – how we metabolize fat is one of the biggest factors that varies from person to person“If someone is going to experiment with a ketogenic diet, it’d be smart to measure a variety of blood biomarkers to make sure this diet isn’t totally wrecking their system”We’re much more insulin sensitive in the morning compared to the eveningHere’s what happens during a prolonged fast:Around day 3, autophagy starts occurringAutophagy is the process by which damaged cells are recycled Organs (including the brain) shrink as all these damaged cells are being killed off Stem cells (which are activated ~6 fold during a fast) then rebuild the organ with new/healthy cellsPeople who frequently consume artificially sweetened drinks biologically look 5-10 years older compared to those who don’tRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgSubscribe to the TRAINED PodcastDr. Rhonda Patrick, biochemist and expert in nutritional health, brain & aging, discusses - and debunks - today’s top nutritional trends and how they can affect our body in the long run.

Podcast Notes Key Takeaways A low-carb, high-fat diet does not impair high-intensity exercise performanceLift weights and use the sauna to avoid muscle loss while eating at a calorie deficit for weight lossShort duration (~10 minutes), moderate-intensity exercise is best for boosting moodIf you’re a lean, active female be careful with time-restricted eating/intermittent fasting“I don’t think lean females should avoid fasting, but my general recommendation is as follows: If you’re a lean, active female you really don’t need to be intermittent fasting longer than 12 hours”Why? A regular fasting protocol (especially involving fasting periods for 12+ hours) can limit both luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone production, resulting in a downregulation of fertility. Anytime you see a downregulation in fertility, there’s also a downregulation of things like libido and overall energy levels.How far from your body should red light therapy devices, like the Joovv, be?“Typically with a red light therapy device that has a power of ~100 mW/cm^2 [like the Joovv), you can get all the benefits you need in about 5-15 minutes if you are 2-6 inches away from the device”There’s 0 evidence that a Joovv can cause harm by putting it right on the skin (just don’t leave it there longer than ~5-10 minute)Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgSubscribe to the Ben Greenfield Fitness PodcastQ&A Episode 399 Have a podcast question for Ben?

I tried it out this morning and my brain has been humming along quite nicely since about 5am. Here's the full recipe (yeah, you need plenty of ingredients, but it's worth it). Into a Nutribullet or any other heat-friendly blender, add the following: - 2 heaping tablespoons of MiCacao mix (this is a mix of cacao nibs and cacao shells that gives you the experience of drinking pure chocolate with no calories) - 2 packets Four Sigmatic Chaga mushroom extract - 2 packets Four Sigmatic Lion's Mane extract - 1 dropperful Omica Organics butterscotch toffee stevia - 1 teaspoon of a good salt (I used Colima salt) - 12-16 piping hot ounces of Kion Coffee Blend on high for about 90 seconds, then open your blender carefully as contents can expand and get foamy (and the foam is oh-so-delicious). I may or may not have also put 0.5 grams of psilocybin extract into this mix, but that's your call. ;) Bon appetit! News Flashes...5:30 Turns out a very low carb diet doesn’t seem to impair high-end exercise performance but there are SO many variables to this that I’ll unpack in next podcast. If you are eating a very low carbohydrate diet and also limiting calories for the goals of weight loss, this study shows that you sure as heck better also be lifting weights. It's so ridiculous how the media thinks "fasting" is a newfangled eating disorder. They should read this. Interesting!

Jenny asks: You've mentioned on the podcast that fasting doesn't always work well for lean females. So should lean females like myself avoid fasting altogether? Or is there a fasting protocol you would recommend that will have a positive impact on my health? In my response, I recommend: A recent tweet: Intermittent fasting + resistance training IS effective fat loss strategy for females but they did not analyze long term effects on endocrine system, thyroid function, etc.: Get Fit Guy's Guide To Achieving Your Ideal Body Type KetoFast book by Joe Mercola (and my podcast with him) Jason Fung's "Complete Guide To Fasting" How Newborn Parents Can Sleep Better Jack asks: You mentioned in Q&A 398 about the physiological changes that occur in men when they become fathers.

In my response, I recommend: Sleepstream App NuCalm  (use code: BEN500 for $500 off  for the Performance and the Pro) Yoga Nidra Modafinil Qualia Mind or Qualia Focus Short frequent bursts of exercise or endurance, aerobic exercise Rotate nights, not rotate feedings Blue light blockers (Ben recommends RA Optics) when you get up at night to feed Red incandescent bulbs CBD Vape Pen (BioCBD is good brand) C-Reactive Protein Levels and Tendinitis Jackie in Japan asks: Is it possible to have plantar fasciitis and full-blown achilles tendinitis in both feet and have a C-reactive protein level of .01-.03? In my response, I recommend: Mention chronic vs. acute Kion Flex How Far From Your Body Should Infrared Light Be? Darryl asks: How close to my body should I put the JOOVV Go? The manual says it should be 2-6", but I oftentimes will put it directly on my skin to help heal an injury and it seems to be just fine.

Honestly with Bari Weiss ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  Protein RDA is survival-baseline, not optimal: The 0.8g/kg recommendation from mid-20th century potato studies prevents deficiency but doesn’t optimize health For thriving, aim for 1.6-2g/kg dailyBenefits include appetite control, muscle maintenance, and a healthy weight with no evidence of harm at these levels Nutrition science cycles through macronutrient villains: The field repeatedly demonizes different nutrients (seed oils, protein, carbs, fats) in predictable patterns This creates heroes and villains instead of nuanced understanding, with “ultra-processed” becoming the latest catch-all villain, despite most foods being processed to some degree “Ultra-processed” is an arbitrary, unhelpful category: The distinction between processed and ultra-processed foods is poorly defined (wine, cheese, and cut fruit all qualify as processed) What matters is molecular structure and overconsumption patterns, not food ancestry or the number of processing stepsObservational studies waste resources that should fund RCTs: Nutrition research repeatedly produces epidemiological studies that establish associations we already know, while randomized controlled trials that could establish causation remain underfunded; this represents a fundamental misallocation of scientific resources Current obesity interventions have comprehensively failed: Conventional public health strategies aren’t working and likely won’t work in their current form; progress requires courage to stop funding trivially variant approaches and instead invest in perceived “radical” interventions that could actually move the needleGLP-1s may become standard preventive care: Similar to how low-dose statins became routine for cardiovascular prevention, GLP-1 medications could transition from treatment to default preventive interventionRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgCongratulations are not usually in order for someone who has been forced into hiding, someone whose children are scattered across continents for their safety, someone whose supporters are sitting in prison cells for the crime of believing in democracy.  But our guest today, María Corina Machado, just won the Nobel Peace Prize—joining the ranks of Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King Jr., and the Dalai Lama, to name a few.  On Friday, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded their 2025 Peace Price to the Venezuelan opposition leader for her tireless work “promoting democratic rights,” describing her as “a woman who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.” She is Venezuela’s first-ever Nobel Peace Prize winner.  Machado’s story, as Jonathan Jakubowicz wrote in The Free Press, “is a political thriller come to life. A 58-year old industrial engineer and former member of parliament, she spent two decades as the most relentless opponent of Hugo Chávez and his successor, Nicolás Maduro.” That thriller came to a head on July 28, 2024, when Edmundo González, Machado’s stand-in candidate, swept Venezuela’s elections with over 90 percent of the vote. But Maduro, Venezuela’s longtime dictator, claimed victory anyway and seized power. Since then, Machado has been living in hiding, her location undisclosed even to most of her allies, as the regime has arrested hundreds of political prisoners and issued a warrant for her arrest.  Machado has been nicknamed Venezuela’s “Iron Lady,” the same moniker given to Margaret Thatcher, who happens to be her personal hero. She represents what may be the most significant challenge to authoritarian socialism in Latin America, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her here today. Learn more about your ad choices.

Theories of Everything with Curt Jaimungal ✓ Claim Key Takeaways  Conditions like depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia may be driven in part by metabolic dysfunction in the brainNeuroinflammation is real, but fasting and a ketogenic diet can help The benefits of supplementing exogenous ketones:(1) Quick energy – they give your body a fast fuel source, especially for the brain and muscles(2)  Support ketosis – they can help raise blood ketone levels even if you’re not fully on a strict keto dietBenefits of fasting: helps to augment the control of the immune system, relaxes the gut and enables the body’s repair processes to occur, reduces the body’s general state of inflammation There is a ketone-synergistic effect when delivering caffeine with MCT; it stimulates lipolysis and also fat oxidation in the liver The short-list of essential supplements:CoQ10, creatine, ketones, vitamin D, and melatoninThe benefits of metformin and GLP-1 drugs may arise from their influence on metabolic functionA low-carb Mediterranean-style diet is conducive to upgrading your metabolic machinery while keeping biomarkers in checkDiet: No sugar, no starch, fibrous vegetables, aim for 25% of carbohydrates consumed should be from fiber, high-protein + low glycemic breakfast and lunch, then a pound of protein for dinner with some fibrous vegetables The protocol and surprising benefits of ‘Sardine Fasting’: Eat 1-2 cans of sardines per day for one week; can be repeated monthly or as needed. May need to supplement with vitamin C and magnesium  Why it helps: Provides essential nutrients and omega-3s while keeping calories/protein low enough to activate autophagy, support immunity, fight brain fog, and promote overall metabolic health Movement is critical for optimal metabolic health; get outside and walk first thing in the morning, and try to move after dinner for the sake of glucose metabolism Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMIT physicist Max Tegmark argues that artificial intelligence belongs inside physics and that consciousness will be the next frontier.

Found My Fitness - Rhonda Patrick Key Takeaways  To some degree, insulin resistance is a common root cause for most chronic diseases A low-carb diet may offer a metabolic advantage by reducing insulin levels, which enhances metabolic flexibility and improves energy regulationFat tissue has a much higher metabolic rate when insulin levels are lowSince there is much more metabolic uncoupling, the body’s engine revs up to burn energy just to create heat   How to reverse a diabetes diagnosis in 90 days Control carbs – focus on whole fruits and vegetables, limiting sugary or starchy choices like bananas, pineapples, and mangoes Prioritize protein and do not fear fat – eat protein-rich foods regularly, and do not worry too much about naturally occurring fats Time meals and exercise – Eat more calories earlier in the day, avoid late-night eating, and take short walks after your biggest meals to reduce blood sugar spikesEating an evening snack spikes your blood sugar and ramps up the sympathetic nervous system, thus increasing body temperature and increasing the likelihood of insomnia and poor sleep; so do not eat within the 3-4 hours before bed Muscle is a great glucose consumer: The more muscle you have, the more metabolic wiggle room you have because muscle serves as a glucose sink Blood-sugar-lowering supplements that work:magnesium,alpha lipoic acid (ALA),berberine, andapple cider vinegar Eating too much linoleic acid (from seed oils) can lead to the production of a toxic substance (4H&E) that prevents your body from creating new small fat cells, and instead forces existing fat cells to just swell upConcerning GLP-1 dosing, caution is warranted; it is probably better to microdose these powerful drugs and think of them as short-term behavioral modification tools instead of lifelong prescriptions  The top biomarkers to measure to determine metabolic health and aging:(1) fasting insulin; want below 6 µIU/mL), (2) Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio; want ratio under 1.5, and (3) Uric acid; want lower levels generallyLower your insulin by starting with tomorrow’s breakfast: Either fast through breakfast and drink coffee, tea, or yerba mateOr if you do want to eat, then choose low-glycemic-load vegetables and berries, and consume more protein and fat  Do whatever you can to keep your insulin in check for as long as possible throughout the day; the longer the insulin is low, the more you will improve your insulin sensitivity Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.org Get access to 130 episodes of my premium podcast, The Aliquot, as a FoundMyFitness Premium Member Insulin resistance silently shapes the trajectory of nearly every major chronic disease, yet it's often overlooked until blood sugar abnormalities become obvious.

Doctor's Farmacy with Mark Hyman, MD Key Takeaways  Histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, such as fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues – yet, histamine intolerance is often overlooked by conventional medicineMCAS is a condition where certain immune cells – called mast cells – release too many chemicals (like histamine) at the wrong timesUsing diet as a short-term therapeutic tool: A low-histamine diet or Low-FODMAP Dietis not a lifelong diet because tons of healthy foods have histamine in them Consume the freshest foods possible and avoid leftovers, as histamine levels in food rise over time after preparationFoods that are traditionally categorized as “healthy” may be contributing to your histamine issues; these include: aged meats, cheeses, fermented foods, and dairy Even though they are generally healthy, consuming them is like throwing gas on your histamine fire Implementing a low-histamine diet in three phases Phase 1 – remove alcohol, especially beer, wine, and champagne Phase 2 – remove canned and smoke fish (examples: anchovies), processed and fermented meats, aged cheese, pickled and fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, yogurts, kefir, mustard, ketchups, vinegar, soy sauce)   Phase 3 – remove plant foods such as spinach, avocado, tomatoes, pineapples, citrus foods Treat IBS with a low-FODMAP diet, which is specifically designed to reduce the fermentable carbohydrates that gut bacteria feed on; this helps reduce: gas production, bloating, bacterial Foods to avoid: Garlic, onions, wheat, legumes, milk, soft cheeses, apples, honey, sorbitol, xylitol, stone fruits, artificial sweetenersFoods to consume: Carrots, spinach, bananas, chicken, rice, cheddar cheese, eggsSupplement to support healthy histamine levels:Quercetin – a natural plant compound that helps people with mast cell issues, histamine intolerance, and allergies (with additional benefits to metabolic function) Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgMany people struggle with mysterious symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, food sensitivities, and skin issues—only to be misdiagnosed or dismissed altogether. This conversation highlights how histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome can be the hidden drivers behind a wide range of chronic conditions, and why they're often overlooked in conventional medicine. From the role of gut health, food triggers, and environmental toxins to deeper root causes like Lyme disease or mold exposure, it’s clear that personalized, Functional Medicine is key to uncovering real answers. Understanding the immune system’s role in histamine reactions—and how even “healthy” foods can be inflammatory for some—is a critical step toward healing. In this episode, I talk with Dr. Todd LePine, Dr. Elizabeth Boham, and Dr. Mark Pimentel about what histamine intolerance is, how it can be related to gut health, and why it’s important to address it. Dr. Todd LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine’s focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders, and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders. Dr. LePine enjoys skiing, kayaking, hiking, camping, and golfing in the beautiful Berkshires, and is a fitness enthusiast. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women’s Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Mark Pimentel is a Professor of Medicine and Gastroenterology through the Geffen School of Medicine and an Associate Professor of Medicine at Cedars-Sinai. Dr. Pimentel is also the Executive Director of the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) program at Cedars-Sinai, an enterprise of physicians and researchers dedicated to the study of the gut microbiome in order to develop effective diagnostic tools and therapies to improve patient care.  Dr. Pimentel has over 150 publications in many high-profile journals, and he is the author of the book, The Microbiome Connection: Your Guide to IBS, SIBO, and low fermentation eating.

Shawn Ryan Show Intro  We are the only species that have forgotten what we are biologically-programmed to eat Metabolic dysfunction, which exists on a continuum, underlies 90% of chronic illness; becoming metabolically healthy through diet and lifestyle change can cure most chronic illnesses Every year, the government sends out $112 billion in food stamps, which serves an average of 42 million people monthly – about 12% of the U.S. populationAbout 70% of this budget is spent on junk food, and about 10% of it – $12 billion – is spent on soda Additives in ultra-processed foods impair our ability to make energy from them; they are poisonous to our metabolism and to the very things that give us life as humans! There is more to the story than calories: The ingredients in these processed foods are poisonous to humans; the quality of the “calories in” impacts the body’s ability to do “calories out” Consuming monogastric animals such as pork and chicken is problematic for humans because these animals accumulate polyunsaturated fats, which are harmful to humans; ruminants are better for human consumption In the 1900s, rates of chronic illness were a fraction of what they are today; during this time, about 99% of fat that humans ate were beef tallow, ghee, butter, and lard – there were no seed oils in the human diet! Saturated fats are evolutionary consistent and cardioprotective; consuming excess polyunsaturated fats, like linoleic acid in seed oils, is the true culprit of chronic disease due to their oxidative potential  “If you are insulin sensitive and metabolically healthy, LDL is good for you. It ‘s an immune particle; it’s valuable. It’s when you become insulin resistant that it becomes a liability because it is part of the causal cascade.”  – Paul Saladino Sugar in fruit is different than processed forms of sugar: There are naturally occurring chemicals in fruit and in honey that mitigate the adverse effects of sugar in the body The solution is simple: We do not need medical breakthroughs to fix our health and cure chronic disease; we just need to return to eating the foods that humans have always eaten Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPaul Saladino, MD, is a double board-certified physician and a prominent advocate for an animal-based diet, known for his controversial views on nutrition and health. He graduated from the University of Arizona College of Medicine and completed his residency at the University of Washington. Saladino is the author of *The Carnivore Code* and *The Carnivore Code Cookbook*, where he argues that many chronic illnesses are linked to poor dietary choices and can be prevented or reversed through proper nutrition. His professional philosophy emphasizes questioning mainstream medical narratives, focusing instead on optimal health through dietary changes. In addition to his writing, Saladino hosts the *Fundamental Health* podcast, where he engages with various experts to discuss health optimization. He co-founded Lineage Provisions, which produces high-quality air-dried meat snacks, and Heart & Soil, offering desiccated organ supplements aimed at enhancing nutrient intake. Recently, he has been involved in projects like a collaboration with Raw Farm USA to create a raw kefir smoothie at Erewhon Market, further promoting his vision of ancestral nutrition and wellness through innovative products.

The Tucker Carlson Show Key Takeaways  “The corporate capture of our institutions is the real cause of the chronic disease crisis that we’re facing.” –  Brigham ButlerRoughly 30% of the cost of every prescription drug is because of the kickback that goes to a PBM; the drugmaker pays the Pharmacy Benefit Manager (PBM) the kickback in order to be placed on the preferred contract with the insurance company The drugs that get put on formulary do not have to do with efficacy or what is best for the patient; instead, it is about which drugs have the biggest kickbacks for PBMs  America’s healthcare system in a trainwreck: The US makes up for ~60% of the pharma industry, but is ranked 40th overall in healthcare outcomesSurgical procedures are loss-leaders; the industry would rather have you on prescription drugs, because then the PBMs get kickbacks Show me the incentives and I’ll show you the outcomes: Since there is so much money being made off “treating” chronic disease, there is no incentive to cure chronic disease The three pillars of the chronic disease crisis: (1) Big Pharma (2) The food industry and (3) The insurance industry They do not want to treat preventative: Health insurance companies are incentivized to keep people from discovering if they have a catastrophic illness; this is why they do not allow you to easily get comprehensive blood work The quarterly-profit cycle that publicly-traded insurance companies operate on incentivizes them to delay or deny expenditures, such as paying for a patient’s surgery, as much as possible Focusing on preventing metabolic disease will indirectly cure all of the chronic diseases that are killing so many Americans Getting rid of the PBMs will remove a huge profit center for the insurance companies; this takes away the incentive to get and keep patients on prescription drugs “This is not a Republican issue. This is not a Democrat issue.
