  • Pedram Shojai: Life as a Hunter-Gatherer in Africa, How Being Chased by Lions is Like Meditation, and How Drug Companies Use Neuroscience to Trick You.

    Today's show is one of my favorite shows EVER! Pedram Shojai has basically done everything: he is a knight, he's been chased by lions, lived as a hunter-gatherer,  he's making films, and writing books... Some seriously cool stuff!

    Before we get to the show though, I want to thank you folks once again for checking out our app, "CavemanFeast" where we have over 200 Paleo recipes from George Bryant over at CivilizedCavemanCooking.com

    The response has been amazing! It broke right through the Top 10, and hit #1 in the Food & Drink category, plus #6 overall across the world! To those of you have picked up the app already, thank you so much! If you don't have it yet, and have an iPhone, iPod or iPad with iOS6, just click the button below to go download it now.

    We are definitely working on an Android version as well. If you know of an Android developer, send them our way!

    If you want to be one of the first to know when the Android version is released, plus hear about all the other exciting things we have in the works, be sure to sign up over at FatBurningMan.com

    Alright, onto the show. Today Pedram & I talk about:

    • What it’s like to live like a hunter-gatherer in Africa.
    • How being chased by lions is like meditation.
    • Why we’re not smart enough to watch TV.
    • How drug companies try to trick you with neuroscience.

    • Dr Alan Christianson: All About About Your Thyroid, Why You Might Want to Eat Protein In The A.M., and Being a Semi-Pro Off-Road Unicyclist

      Howdy folks, it's been a crazy exciting week here in the world of The Fat-Burning Man! As you may have heard, we just launched a killer app for the iPhone and iPad (iOS6) with my buddy George of Civilized Caveman. It's called CavemanFeast, and it is absolutely dominating the charts! We've already topped Food Network and a bunch of other apps to take #1 in "Food & Drink" category, and we are even in the Top 10 overall! It is just shocking and humbling, and we'd just really like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for you support and for believing in real food. If you've downloaded the app already, we'd love for you to leave a review. And if you haven't checked it out yet, we're offering it at just $.99 for just a short while longer! We'd love to hit #1 overall, and need your help to do that! Again, thank you so much for your support, we cannot tell you how much it means to us.

      Alright, on today's show we have Dr Alan Christianson. You may know him from seeing him on CNN, the "Today Show" or "The Doctors," along with many other places. He is a specialist in the thyroid, and the author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Thyroid Disease." To top it all off, in his spare time he's into mountain unicycling!

      On today's show we talk about:

      • What you need to know about your thyroid.

      • Why you might consider eating protein in the morning.

      • What’s it’s like to be a semi-pro off-road unicyclist.

      • Stacy & Matt: The Paleo Parents, How to Raise Healthy, Happy, Well-fed Kids, and How Lard Can Make You Lean

        Today on the show we have Matt & Stacy, The Paleo Parents, who just released their newest masterpiece "Beyond Bacon: Paleo Recipes that Respect the Whole Hog." When I say it is the weirdest cookbook I've seen in a while, I mean it as the ultimate compliment! On top of being the authors of two great Paleo cookbooks, they are also proud parents of 3 very awesome little cave-kids: Cole, Finian and Wesley. They know how to keep busy!

        But before we get to the show, we have some very exciting news in the world of The Fat-Burning Man. You may have seen my most recent blog post where I announced this, but if you didn't.... We're launching an app for the iPhone and iPad! It's a collection of over 200 of my good buddy George's best recipes (the man behind CivilizedCavemanCooking.com). We're going to be offering it for the first couple of weeks at just $.99! It's a pretty slick, cool looking app, so we really think you're going to like it! If you want to be sure to hear about that when it launches, don't forget to sign up to be on my newsletter at FatBurningMan.com
