Hey Abel,
Happy New Year and thanks for kick-starting 2014 with an awesome new episode!
My favorite episode would have to be the one with you and Pedram Shojai – what he said there is so inspiring and motivating and he has a unique way of talking about the four pillars (real Food, quality sleep & exercise plus mindset). I also liked the way he described the flaws of modern medicine and doctors (not treat but teach) and also the insanity behind pharmaceutical ads (and the likes) – really eye-opening that piece.
Would love for you to have him on the show again for Q1 or Q2 in 2014!
Rock on and thanks for everything you do!
Best Regards from Germany

That’s one of my favorites too Stefan! Happy New Year and thanks for sharing. – Emily, FBM Team
I’m so glad that you have also interviewed Jonathan Bailor. My whole mindset about calories and eating changed when I heard Dave Asprey’s interwiew with Jonathan. I was so afraid of turning in to my mother overweight and with type II diapetes that I just kept the calories to a minimum. Cold all the time, couldn’t sleep, too tired, not enough exercise. Just couple of weeks with lots of good quality fat, enough protein and inSane amounts of greenies and I’m doing so much better. Forever grateful.
My favorite is always dr Sara. She is a total powerhouse. Would love to hear her again this year.
Wishing you a wonderful year and thank you for “doing your duty” here on this earth.
Glad you enjoyed the show! Dr Sara is definitely a “powerhouse” as you say, couldn’t agree more. 🙂 – Emily, FBM Team
Episode 100……woohoo!!!!!!!
What is your take on “green superfood” supplements and dairy?
Nothing beats “real food” when it comes to nutritional value, but high quality supplements can do in a pinch – just be conscientious of the ingredients. Dairy is case-by-case for sure (being sure to source from well-fed animals and even raw if possible). See how you look/feel/perform when incorporating vs when you don’t and go from there! – Emily, FBM Team
Devoured the book in an afternoon like a giant plate of veggies. Then I went to Costco and bought a ton of green tea, veggies and avocados before the whole city froze solid. After eating about twice as many non-starch vegetables as I usually do for the past couple of days, I think it’s the piece I was missing.
It’s a bit more chewing than I’m used to, though.
Awesome! Hope you’re staying warm in this polar vortex mess 😉 – Emily, FBM Team
There are few people in the industry as well versed and educated as Jonathan is on the topic of health. If you’re reading this and just trying to figure out how you’re going to go about beginning your health and wellness turnaround, then stop reading anything else immediately and go to Amazon to buy Jonathan’s book. It is profound in its simplicity and should be mandatory reading in any health class.

Great interview. Going to pick up the book soon. I think this topic (calories and weight loss) is one of the “stickiest wickets” facing people today, especially people interested in being more healthy. I just saw this story today as evidence that an alternative (and more sound) message needs to be more widely discussed.

Thanks again for what you all do.
Great podcast. Can’t wait to see the colaboration between the two of you. Happy New year and cheers to your health and success in 2014!
It’s going to be a good one! We’re very excited for it! – Emily, FBM Team
If meat is lean because the animal is exercising, it may have higher carnosine levels. This may benefit some people by increasing the muscle’s ability to buffer acid production as a part of burning fuel.
Interesting point Kit! Can you provide some research behind this, we’d love to look into it more! – Emily, FBM Team
When I say exercising, I mean healthy, with the idea that a healthy, exercising animal is not being depleted of carnosine because of a poor diet preventing repair of the muscles and having a low general acid load. A diet low in AGEs, for example. And the exercising is being done because the animal is not suffering chronic fatigue. Thinking out loud, I reckon a lean animal served up in a vat of decent butter would be the way to go. Had a quick flick on the net, and found this:

Carnosine is high in whales and migratory birds, who operate at extremes. Coming from an agricultural background, I can say that few farm animals go through such extremes (and if they do they aren’t the first to go to market) but they can suffer more stress. Perhaps one for Abel to ‘run-by’ his brother.
Excellent! Thanks very much Kit – this is very interesting. – Emily, FBM Team
Great podcast!
Just picked up Jonathan’s book and quickly seeing the difference between quality > quantity.
Interesting idea about fruit; a topic I’ve never been entirely sure about.
