Fat-burning Man By Abel James (video Podcast): Real Food, Real Results.

Did you know that in the U.S. every single year more than 50,000 people are poisoned by carbon monoxide gas? It's a crazy high number and a lot of people are only somewhat familiar as to what carbon monoxide is and what effects it has on the human body. It's very much a different beast from carbon dioxide. Let's get into it. Carbon monoxide (CO) is often referred to as “The Silent Killer”. It's a colorless, odorless gas that can cause severe brain damage, and ultimately lead to death; and a lot of times this happens completely invisibly. You can't see it, you can't smell it, you can't taste it, but carbon monoxide is responsible for hundreds of deaths in the U.S. each year. And it almost killed me too, and my family, as much as it chills me to say that. Subscribers on the newsletter know a little bit about this... But when I disappeared from the internet about four months ago, I had no idea that there was a toxic gas leak in the rental house. I’ll share more in today’s episode. You're about to hear... Simple

Over the past few months, many of you have reached out and asked “Why did Abel unexpectedly disappear from the internet?” “Is he ever coming back?” “...Wait a second, why is his hair so impossibly long right now?” The truth is, Alyson and I spent the past several months recovering our health and focusing on finding a new place to live. It's a long, sticky and scary story, and a really close call. I’ll explain more in an upcoming episode. The good news is that we're still quite alive, we found a place to live, at least for now, and we can finally get back to creating new shows for you. Today, we’re releasing an Ask Me Anything that I actually recorded several months ago, before this whole near death experience debacle. We cover a lot in this episode. I’ll be doing a lot more of these livestreams and AMA’s in the weeks ahead, so be sure to sign up for my newsletter to make sure you don’t miss out. Ok, here goes. In this Ask Me Anything, we’ll cover: Longer fasts that last 3 - 5 days What to steer clear of  whe

What are humans actually meant to eat? It's a very complicated question these days. But today we're here with my new friend, Brian Sanders, a health coach and host of the Peak Human Podcast, as well as the filmmaker behind the documentary Food Lies. He's here to talk about the misinformation in the world of nutrition, and what we should be doing and eating instead. On this show with Brian Sanders, you’ll learn: The science behind what humans are meant to eat A unifying theory that pulls paleo and vegans together How to sustainably source food And tons more...

Be honest, are you feeling a little stressed out these days? If you're feeling a little scatter brained or bummed out, you are definitely not alone. Things seem crazier than ever, and we're all a bit frazzled. If you're feeling that way, or if you're feeling like you take care of everyone around you with no energy left for yourself, this show is definitely for you. Returning to the show is Sarah Fragoso, and for the first time, Dr. Brooke Kalanick. This is a really fun one. We get deep.

Since we’ve been getting tons of questions, here’s a surprise “Ask Me Anything” livestream. I want to thank all of you who took the time to ask for a bit of support or help with certain areas of your health, because getting over that hump is really important. Keep in mind, I am no guru.

Thanks so much for joining us on the Fat-Burning Man Show, where we talk about real food and real results, and a whole lot of other things that will help you stay alive in the wacky world of the 21st century.

Since I've been getting loads of questions from you folks and we now have semi-reliable internet up here in the mountains, I decided to do a surprise “Ask Me Anything” livestream. I can't believe how many people joined in to ask questions. I wasn’t able to get to all of them during the livestream, so afterwards I answered a few more which you’ll be able to hear today as we get this kicked off. In this Ask Me Anything, you’re about to learn: Simple Snacks for families, performers, UPS drivers, and other people on the go Benefits of drinking a green smoothie (and what happened when one accidentally fermented in the front seat of our car in Texas) What I really think of Clif Bars (and other bars marketed to athletes and outdoorsy types) And tons more... I hope you enjoy.

On a scale of 1 through 10, how good is your sleep right now? (If you're not at a 10, there's a lot of room for improvement.) If you want good health, you've got to get your sleep nailed down. Artificial lights from your phone, tablet or computer can mess with sleep, as can drinking alcohol. Today's guest was more of a social drinker who decided to take a break from alcohol, and then life got a lot more interesting. James Swanwick is the Australian-American entrepreneur, author, speaker, podcast host and co-founder of Swanwick Sleep who makes those cool Swannie glasses. On this show with James, you’ll learn: The psychological effects of light (specifically blue light) How to socialize without drinking booze Simple steps to better sleep What taking a break from alcohol looks like for James (and me) And tons more...

Do you ever feel isolated and alone? In these crazy times when we’re more technologically connected than ever, many of us can’t help but feel separated and somewhat detached. It may feel like it's us versus the world, and unfortunately, social media and the internet don't seem to be helping. To help us rise above the madness of today's world, we're here with Dr. Caroline Leaf. Dr. Leaf is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Masters and PhD in Communication Pathology specializing in cognitive and metacognitive neuropsychology. On with this show with Dr. Caroline Leaf, we're chatting about: How to shift from a threat mindset to an opportunity mindset Risks associated with loneliness and isolation What to do about toxic stress The placebo effect and how to use it to your advantage And tons more... Let's go hang out with Dr. Leaf.

How much time have you spent outside today? Hopefully, you're outside right now. But if you're not, I just want to say it's more important than ever to get outdoors, breathe some fresh air, take a break and enjoy some sunshine. But according to a survey by the EPA, the average American spends 93% of their time indoors, either in enclosed buildings or enclosed vehicles. Connection to nature shouldn't be something that's seen as dispensable, something that we can have or not have. It's an essential part of who we are. That indoor air is stuffy and terrible. There's a lot of off-gassing in cars, rooms, carpets, paints, things like that. And breathing that bad air can actually shave years off your life. So, to help us sort all of this out and keep things in perspective, we're here with one of my very good friends and former cross-country teammate from back in high school, Mr. Will McDonough. Will is a dad of three, a runner, writer and teacher who never stops moving. And today he's here to share with us the impor

Can you imagine waking up one day then being diagnosed with a condition that puts you into a wheelchair for the rest of your life? Although, Wikipedia lists Multiple Sclerosis as an incurable disease, today we’re here with a remarkable woman who was sentenced to a life in a tilt-recline wheelchair with progressive MS... and went on to defy her diagnosis and reverse her condition with real food and lifestyle intervention. Today, Dr. Terry Wahls bikes to work, speaks all over the country, and teaches others how to heal conditions commonly considered to be untreatable with cutting-edge science and a healthy dollop of good old common sense. Also joining us for this interview is Caroleen Moise, the producer and director of Defying All Odds, a new documentary featuring the story of Dr Terry Wahls' astonishing recovery from Progressive MS. On this show you’re going to learn about: The body’s remarkable ability to heal itself and defy the odds Why more than a dozen new scientific studies are testing food as medicine

Did you know that selling raw milk is illegal in 18 U.S. states? Much of the food our grandparents took for granted is now banned in what we call the land of the free. The argument? That processed food is much healthier and safer. Thanks, government. While you may get dizzy checking out the list of recent industrial food product recalls, due to contamination. It makes you wonder why raw milk is so very illegal in most of our country. To help us figure this out, we're here with my very own raw milk dealer from Tennessee, Mr. Bradley Bleasdale. My wife Alyson and I met Brad at the Cookeville Farmers Market when we lived in the Smoky Mountains a few years back. And after buying veggies and milk from him for a few months, he gave us some of the best fresh venison we've ever tasted in our lives. It was out of this world. On today’s show with Bradley, you’re about to learn: How the ridiculous raw milk controversy ruined our Food Freedom Immune benefits of raw versus high temp pasteurization and homogenization The

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time to ask things or admit to needing maybe a bit of support or help with certain areas of your health, because getting over that hump is really important. Now, let's get this kicked off.

It really seems like Western medicine is completely devoid of common sense. Why is that? With a majority of doctors prescribing pills for symptoms instead of treating the underlying imbalances, it's no wonder the world's health is suffering right now. But today we're here with one of the very best doctors I know, Dr. David Perlmutter, renowned neurologist, and the author of the newly revised and terrifically titled #1 New York Times bestseller, Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar—Your Brain's Silent Killers.

Can dieting cause you to gain weight, instead of lose it? It happens sometimes. As the doc says, we seem to be living in a world where each day seems to bring new science that cancels out all past assessments.

Dr. Christianson is a naturopathic endocrinologist who focuses on thyroid function, adrenal health and metabolism. He’s also a very talented off-road unicyclist. Really. And yes that’s a thing. On this who the show with Dr. Christianson, you're about to learn: Why you can't hack a garden The drawbacks of over-exercising Why the liver decides if you gain or lose fat How being healthy these days is a fluke, and why we should embrace that And tons more.

We all know that junk food is bad for us, but what about junk news and social media? These days, it's getting pretty nasty out there. The nightly news cycle of local crimes, endless stream of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram updates and feeds, celebrity gossip, reality TV shows, trendy clickbait articles. The list goes on and on. In this age of information overload, your life can be filled with irrelevant or unnecessary information in an instant. And that just clouds your mind for the rest of the day. Returning to the show to help us simplify our lives at a very opportune time as we get this new year off to a fresh start, we're here with Mr. James Clear. James Clear is a writer focused on habits, decision-making, and continuous improvement. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Entrepreneur, Time, and CBS This Morning.

What would happen if you ate nothing but potatoes for a year? Believe it or not, today's guest did just that. He's a former junior Australian champion marathon kayaker, and also a high school PE teacher who embarked upon a quest to overcome food addiction, anxiety, and depression by eating only potatoes for an entire year. At first, I was not sure what to think about all of this. But trust me, there is a lot of wisdom that today's guest has for you. One thing that comes up for a lot of folks is the trouble they have with moderation. If you have a whole chocolate bar, can you eat just one square?  If you feel like you eat that one slice of pizza or a few chips and then you have to eat the whole bag, then definitely pay attention to this episode. You don't have to eat only potatoes for a year. It's really not about the potatoes, but listen to what he has to say. If you've ever struggled with cravings, moderation, or food addiction, this episode is definitely for you. On this show with Andrew Taylor, we're chatt

What can living with wild wolves teach us about how to eat and live as humans? Well today, believe it or not, we're here with a remarkable woman who actually lived amongst wild wolves in the Arctic Circle. This is a throwback episode of the Fat-Burning Man show from 2012. But just because it’s not new, doesn’t mean it’s no relevant. In fact, I think a lot of listeners really need this message more than ever. Nora certainly spreads a lot of wisdom. Nora Gedgaudas is the author of Primal Body, Primal Mind, she maintains a private practice in Portland, Oregon as both a board-certified nutritional consultant and a clinical neurofeedback specialist.
