When Kat and Brent Pence started The Wild Diet and joined Tribe a little over a year ago, they didn’t know quite what to expect. But just 12 months after watching our TV show on ABC, a few crazy things have happened. Kat has shed 40 pounds, and Brent is down 47. But here’s the crazy part… they shed 80+ pounds as a couple “without really working out”! Sounds wacky, but you’re about to learn why focusing on food and lifestyle can work so well. We’ve been chatting in the Fat-Burning Tribe facebook group for nearly a year, but on today’s show we’re meeting for the first time.

Can burpees actually boost your mood? Science is now telling us that exercise can be a better healing therapy for depression than prescription medication. As a dude who has been prescribed anti-depressant medication by my doctor “to help me sleep” in the past, I can tell you that I'm a heck of a lot happier when I'm exercising than when I'm medicating. The reason that a lot of these natural cures don't really get out there is because there isn't a whole lot of money in telling people to go for a walk to help them with their depression. There is a lot of money in patents, trademarks, branding and getting products out there that people can consume over and over again. But if you just go for a walk, there isn't really anyone else who's benefiting directly from that, certainly not monetarily, except for you. So lace up those old tennis shoes and get those endorphins flowing because exercise isn't about how you look, it's about how you feel. And I can definitely attest to that. Our guest on this episode is Amy Clo

Anna also cooks for a husband, a tiny dog, and by far the most terrifying, a teenage daughter.

Do you ever wonder what modern processed food is doing to kids? While childhood obesity and Type II diabetes are running rampant, the answer to that question is usually a bummer. But you’re about to hear from a remarkable 9 year old who I met at a book signing last spring who made me feel a heck of a lot better. This fourth-grader not only read all the way through my book, The Wild Diet, but also shared a story I won’t forget. I know how unexciting vegetables can be… especially, when you’re in fourth grade. But what if you found out that eating clean made you better at sports… and school?

Do you ever feel like the healthcare system is working against you? How much do you pay for prescription meds? What about health insurance and doctor’s bills? Even my health insurance provider is cancelling my insurance when they pulled out of Texas next month... so I’d better not get sick. Health care is a weird scene at best, and a misnomer at worst. Another good excuse to eat your vegetables ladies and gentlemen. But never fear, today's guest, mega-bestselling author and cardiologist, Dr. William Davis, is here to help us figure it all out. If you’ve been listening to Fat-Burning Man since the beginning, Dr. Davis is no stranger to you. You may remember him from the mega-bestseller Wheat Belly, the last time he was on this show a few years ago. Listen up, the doc holds no punches in this one.
