Does intermittent fasting actually work? As many of you know, I’ve been practicing various forms of fasting for nearly a decade now, but does it really work for everyone? Does it work for no one? Does it work for women, men, and anyone in between? There's so much information, disinformation, misinformation and content overload when it comes to fasting, when it comes to eating, diet, nutrition. It can be tough to make sense of it all. But we do have the perfect guest for you here today⁠—the wonderful Cynthia Thurlow, a nurse practitioner for 20+ years, entrepreneur, functional nutritionist, Tedx speaker, host of the Everyday Wellness podcast, and the CEO and founder of the Everyday Wellness Project. On today's show, we're talking about… Intermittent fasting from a woman's perspective, as a practitioner and as someone who does it in her own daily practice Non-negotiable daily habits and intentionally setting up your environment to make success automatic 2 things Cynthia prioritizes every day to support energy

Should we be prohibited from asking questions? If we lose the ability and right to speak, ask questions, to think for ourselves, to have sovereignty over our bodies and lives... we are on a precarious path indeed. With more of us obese, overweight and diseased than ever before, it's the very governments and corporations silencing us and ordering us around that got us here in the first place. As we're being told what to believe, many of us are being censored, shadowbanned, or even de-platformed - apparently just for thinking for ourselves. How many times do governments, politicians and mega corporations have to exploit us before we get a clue? If you look at history, you can see where this goes, and it's not pretty. So we have a spicy episode for you here today. Returning to the show is our dear friend, Shawn Stevenson, speaker, host of the #1 ranked podcast The Model Health Show, and bestselling author of “Sleep Smarter” and the brand spanking new book “Eat Smarter”. Shawn graduated from The University of Mis

How do you make ends meet when you're as poor as church mice? Today, we have a very special show for you. When I first started this show about 10 years ago now, I bought a cheap video camera and I decided to go to my grandmother Nan's house and interview her… she's just about my favorite person in the universe. And as many of you know, Nan's wisdom runs throughout my work—this podcast, of course, my blog with all recipes that we have, and especially The Wild Diet—you'll find lots of Nan in The Wild Diet. But who is Nan, anyway? Well, Marion Bascom, affectionately known as Nan, was a nurse, a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army, and a city girl who married my grandfather, Horace, a dairy farmer, and then took on the challenges of tending to an organic veggie garden, dairy farm and homestead while raising 7 children. After living for almost a century, Nan passed away this year at 97 years old. I'm very happy, though, to be able to share her wisdom with you here today, especially now. I didn't know exactly what I

When was the last time you took a luxurious breath of fresh air straight from nature? The more time we spend sitting indoors surrounded by stale air and artificial light, shackled to desks and screens, the more our health suffers. It's no wonder we're sicker than ever. Returning to the show to save the day is the breathing and natural movement OG, Erwan Le Corre. Erwan is a true wild man with a diverse background in sailing, diving, Olympic weight lifting, rock climbing, long distance triathlons, trail running, and even Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Are we being mind controlled? What's wrong with a sterilized culture, where speaking out against the status quo gets you shadow-banned and censored across platforms? When free speech and free expression on all sides are egregiously squashed by unelected technocratic powers with zero accountability, it's clear someone is trying to influence or control the conversation. That's why it's more important than ever to do your homework and think for yourself, especially when your health is concerned. You have to take on that responsibility. And joining us today is the perfect guest to talk through some spicy and timely topics, our friend and fellow podcaster, writer and founder of Wild Foods, Colin Stuckert. We need all the good people we can get to make it through this circus with our health and sanity intact. Colin is doing great work and I'm honored that our messages and businesses are so aligned. On this show with Colin Stuckert, where we're chatting about: The dangers of sterilizing culture What we can learn fr

What's worth more? A $20 bill or a bottle of wine? In a pinch, I've realized real world pleasures like wine can be worth more than cold hard cash. With rising food inflation and obvious issues with our supply chains, it's a good time to make sure you're stocked up on provisions for whatever life throws at you. Which is why, even if you don't drink or you're not drinking right now, having a supply of high quality biodynamic natural wines can be a worthy alternative investment. (Hey there legal eagles, this is not investment advice.) When a friend recently turned down payment in the form of money—actually a couple of crisp $20 bills, he just would not take them—but he gladly accepted our bottle of wine. And that just reinforced the notion that having a diversity of items available to barter and trade could come in mighty handy in the future that we're facing. So returning to the show today is our very good friend, Todd White. Todd is a serial entrepreneur, writer, speaker, and founder of our all-time favorite s

You know how a steak is marbled with fat—the fatter the animal, the more fat you see marbled through the muscle meat? Did you know the same thing can happen in your muscles? When you don't have your strength, when you're not training, when you're de-conditioned or sedentary, the muscles in the human body can actually become marbled with fat. I don't know about you, but that image alone is enough to keep me training. And we have the perfect guests here today. I'm happy to say that joining us is Dr. Gregory Kelly, a naturopathic physician, author of Shape Shift: The Shape Intelligence Solution, and the director of product development over at Neurohacker Collective. Dr. Kelly has published numerous articles on natural medicine and nutrition, contributed three chapters to the Textbook of Natural Medicine and has more than 30 journal articles indexed on PubMed. He’s the real deal. And on today’s episode, we're talking about: Why you don't want marbled muscles Taking a holistic view of health How sunlight is relat

Have you tried eating low carb yet? How did it go? How did you feel? Did it last? Be honest. Many people get incredible results by kicking out all the processed junk, sugar, and by dialing down the carbs, but I'm going to be honest with you, I love carbs. After my hard workouts, after my runs up the mountains, there's definitely a place for good carbs like wild rice, quinoa, sweet potato, old school sourdough, even some treats every once in a while. Carbs can be our friends too. So how do we scale our intake of fat, protein, and carbs, to achieve our ideal body composition? Today, we're here with a perfect person to talk about it, the wonderful and talented, Tara Garrison. Tara is a certified personal trainer, nutritionist, and mindset coach who helps high performers, including celebrities, professional athletes, and top executives optimize their health. In today’s episode, we're chatting about: How lifting weights makes everything easier Why you should do keto but not forever Intermittent fasting from a wom

Ever since the world shut down, crippling small businesses, decimating communities and filling us all with fears of certain death, the response from politicians and world government has been disturbingly inadequate, to say the least. Instead of educating the public on how to strengthen our immune system, politicians have preyed on people's fears, divided us, locked us inside, forced us all to cover our faces with cloth, and socially distance all the while. But there's a big difference between socially distancing and physically distancing. I'm beginning to feel that this choice of words was not an accident. Also used as a form of torture, social distancing and isolation—especially combined with too much social media and screen time—destroys our relationships and damages our mental health. Living in a constant state of anxiety and fear is just about the worst possible thing for our health and well-being. When our mental health suffers our physical health falls apart. And at some point, we'll all have to acknowl
