Today’s show is with the blockbuster bestselling author, Gretchen Rubin. You may have seen her on Oprah or listened to her hit podcast, The Happiness Project. On the show, you’ll learn why low carb diets work, simple tricks to be happier, and how to hack your habits to kick butt in health and life.

Today we have a special throwback interview with Dr. William Davis, bestselling author of Wheat Belly. Doc. Davis’s grain-busting manifesto sat atop the New York Times bestseller charts for what must be a truly an alarming amount of time for the Big Food Industry.

Today we’re here with Denise Minger, author of Death by Food Pyramid. In this special throwback episode of the Fat-Burning Man show, you’re going to learn why conventional wisdom about nutrition is hogwash, why some women gain weight on the Paleo Diet, and how to spot a fraud in the nutrition world.

Denise’s book is a must-read, flying in the face of conventional wisdom, revealing some interesting secrets about the food pyramid and why we eat the way we do, and teaching you how to separate fact from media hype when it comes to your health

This week, we’re here with one of my greatest allies in the fitness world, Mr. Steve Kamb, the raving lunatic behind Nerd Fitness. Among other things, we’re going to talk about how to beat your personal bests, how to be smart about drinking booze, and why it’s important to party.

Steve rocks out with epic workouts all over the world, exploring the ruins of Machu Picchu, diving with sharks on the Great Barrier Reef, living like James Bond in Monte Carlo, and guest lecturing at Google and Facebook Headquarters.

AND, if I do say so myself, he knows how to throw a dang good party!

If you’ve listened to the past few episodes of Fat-Burning Man, you know that I just released a new album of original music called Swamp Thing. Steve Kamb was leading the epic after party in Nashville, and you’ll hear all about our shenanigans in this special episode of the show.

Today I’ve got something special for you. I’ve been getting quite a few emails recently asking for an inside look at not only the way that I eat personally, but also the secrets to being mentally healthy - strong, disciplined, resilient, and most importantly, happy.

There’s so much more to health than diet and exercise.

So today my wife Alyson is interviewing me about how to upgrade your brain with simple lifestyle hacks like meditation, music, and more. I’ve been shocked by how many of you listeners are musicians, artists, or Type-A rockstars yourselves, so I think you’ll enjoy this special episode.

Every so often I get a message that gets me all choked up.

A while back I got an email from a listener named Denny Hemingson thanking me for helping him restore his health and drop 46 pounds eating The Wild Diet packed with delicious foods like bacon and eggs, butter, coffee, and even Alyson’s coffee cake!

This is where the internet can lead to meaningful “real life” relationships.

That message kicked off a series of adventures with Denny, the guitarist and bandleader of the Tim McGraw Band! This throwback episode celebrates the release of our new collaboration, an album of original music called Swamp Thing.
