Carnivore diets, collagen, and Protein myths with James Wilks from The Game Changers


Listen Later

The Game Changers documentary revolutionized plant-based eating in professional sports and was a key component in the rise of plant-based nutrition among men and athletes. In this episode, I sit down with the producer James Wilks, an elite combatives instructor and winner of The Ultimate Fighter. James is a no-BS, open hearted intellectual, full of passion and charisma, and spent years of his life researching the science behind plant based eating when he was recovering from an injury and looking for answers to heal and stay healthy. James has broken a lot of narratives because of his motivation and desire to push the limits to get the heart of the topic at hand.

The Game Changers was executive produced by James Cameron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jackie Chan, Lewis Hamilton, and Chris Paul, and the film went on to become the most viewed documentary of all time, garnering unprecedented accreditations from the U.S. Department of Defense Health and the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Wilks was subsequently ranked by Men’s Health as #3 on their list, “The 13 Most Influential Men in Health & Fitness.”

In this episode we cover:

  • James’ plant-based advocacy journey
  • What led him to the creation of The Game Changers movie
  • His debate with Chris Kresser on the Joe Rogan Experience
  • How the world of athletics has been influenced by his film
  • The rise in plant based eating among men, athletes, and professoinal sports
  • Why the general public is so confused about nutrition science
  • The most frustrating things he’s seeing in food recommendations and athletics
  • The rise in popularity of organ meats, carnivore diets and collagen intake
  • Protein myths
  • What he’s working on now and exciting projects he’s involved in
