When you know what you’re supposed to do, what keeps you from actually doing it?

We’re all guilty at times of procrastination, pleasure-seeking, indulging in distraction and escapism, and even self-sabotage.

Perhaps it’s all part of the human condition.

But since knowing what to do is different from actually doing it, it’s essential to set up systems in our lives to make healthy choices the default option.

And sometimes we need a little help getting out of our own way.

By helping you work through the subconscious emotional blocks that prevent you from taking positive action, finding the right coach and accountability partner can make a massive difference in your long term results.

As today’s guest quips, "I can't help people solve their problems until I find out why they like having them."

Today we’re here with our friend, Adam Gilbert, founder of MyBodyTutor.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete, busy parent, coach, or just dipping your toes into health and fitness, you'll walk away with actionable strategies and a renewed sense of motivation to make positive and lasting changes in your life.

Have you heard that eating animal protein causes cancer?

Or that you’ll save the world if you only give up hamburgers forever?

Despite dutifully reducing our consumption of animal protein for decades, rates of obesity and chronic disease have skyrocketed.

In the face of relentless anti-meat propaganda, what if the blanket advice to follow strict plant based diets is actually accelerating rates of obesity and disease?

When I gave up meat as a young athlete for the sake of health and the environment, my results were abysmal. I lost muscle, gained fat, lacked energy, recovered poorly, and my race performance suffered.

Since plant-based fake meats and meat substitutes are incomplete proteins that are not well absorbed or utilized by our bodies, avoiding high-quality animal protein can lead to poor outcomes in health and performance for children and adults alike.

Meatless Mondays may sound virtuous, but they’re not saving the environment or solving the obesity epidemic as many are led to believe.

Indiscriminately blaming cattle for the sins of fossil fuels and industrial agriculture is a mistake. We all want to save the world, but as this week’s guest quips: “we can’t eat our way out of a climate crisis.”

Whether you’re raising animals or growing crops, industrial agriculture isn’t friendly to the environment or our health. Prioritizing the health of your body and the planet requires that we source real food according to the laws of nature, opting for regenerative agriculture and pasture-raised animals over the products of concentrated feedlots and industrial monocrops.

When it comes to health and performance, eating high quality protein from healthy animals is one of the most powerful weapons we have to fight obesity, muscle wasting, and premature aging.

Today we’re back with our friend Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, a New York Times Bestselling author, podcaster and functional medicine physician specializing in the concept of muscle-centric medicine, which focuses on the largest organ in the body, skeletal muscle, as the key to health and longevity.

In this episode with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, we chat about:

Why what we think of as aging is actually a disease of impaired muscle

The surprising relationship between meat, protein, and cancer

How society's focus on weight loss has led to neglect of muscle building, which is critical for overall health

The most effective exercises and training frequency to build skeletal muscle, optimize metabolism, and fight aging

And much more…

Fountain 1.1 with #nostr is now live on iOS and Android!

https://m.primal.net/KGni.mov

Why Nostr?

We regularly hear from both listeners and podcasters that the social features in Fountain are a great way to discover content that’s worth listening to.

When you support a podcast, or comment on an episode, your message is surfaced to your followers in the Fountain home feed and anyone that sees these can add the content to their library.

But this came with a few problems. When you first start using Fountain you wouldn’t have any followers so your posts wouldn’t get seen. If you wanted to share something you were listening to, you had to choose between leaving a comment on Fountain, or sharing on another social platform.

Today we are excited to announce a massive update to Fountain that solves these problems with Nostr:

- You can bring your existing profile and followers to Fountain

- Your boosts and comments will be surfaced in other Nostr clients

- Posts shared from other Nostr clients relating to audio will appear in your feed

- Conversation and interactions now flow freely across multiple apps

Read more about the new Fountain nostr features here: https://blog.fountain.fm/p/1-1

Please let me know your feedback!

This has massive potential for the future of of podcasting and beyond. Congrats Oscar!!

If you’re not happy all the time, do you feel like you have a problem?

No matter how much you achieve, does it feel like it’s never quite enough?

This is totally normal.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with the pursuit of happiness, but it’s critical to understand that even in the best case scenario, happiness is fleeting. It’s not something we ever get to keep.

We’re conditioned to think that if we don’t feel happy, we’re failing at life. The traditional approach to addressing unhappiness is flawed, however, as it assumes we’re meant to live in some perfect state of perpetual bliss. But that doesn’t jive with biology or reality.

The truth is that our mammalian brains are wired for survival, not to feel happy all the time.

Feelings of happiness and achievement are short-lived, and it’s meant to be that way.

But by harnessing proven principles of brain science and evolutionary biology, you can use dissatisfaction, pain and discomfort to propel you to your next epic success.

Today we’re back with our friend, Loretta Breuning, PhD, author, Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay, and Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

Why our brain's happy chemicals are only released in short spurts, and quickly habituate to rewards

How to untangle your emotional wiring by tracking down patterns from childhood

Why our natural "herd impulse" can lead to groupthink and the suppression of individuality (and how to counteract it)

Simple strategies to manage anxiety and fear

How to spark small joys and harness dopamine triggers in the brain’s reward system to create meaning and purpose in your life

And much more…
