Are cow farts destroying the planet? We hear so many arguments for reducing our meat intake that it’s often hard to cut past the bullsh*t (pun intended).

Today I have with me Dr. Frank Mitloehner, a professor and air quality specialist in cooperative extension in the Department of Animal Science at UC Davis to talk all about sustainability.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Are cow farts causing climate change?
• It takes 2 gallons of water to grow a single walnut
• The problems with the documentary “Cowspiracy”
• Is grass fed truly better than grain fed?
• Can a plant based diet be better for the environment?

Until recently, I never thought the title of this episode could be true. Most of us have heard the common narrative too often: “Eat less meat, save the planet”. But is it actually true? I interviewed Dr. Peter Ballerstedt to find out if meat is a good option if we care about global health.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How becoming a healthier person has a greater environmental impact than going vegan
• Why Dr. Ballerstedt is obsessed with ruminants
• Why you can get less protein than it says on the nutrition label
• Most of the globe is already plant based and why Dr. Ballerstedt doesn’t think going vegan is the solution to human or planetary health
• What are the problems with the food supply?

Next on the podcast series “What did humans evolve to eat?” I had Professors Stephen Simpson and David Raubenheimer on the podcast.

Professor David Raubenheimer is a leading expert in nutritional ecology which looks at how an animal’s nutritional environment interacts with its biology to affect health and fitness. ****Professor Stephen Simpson is Academic Director of the Charles Perkins Centre, a Professor in the School of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Sydney, and Executive Director of Obesity Australia. Both of these leading scientists have developed an integrative approach for nutrition called the Geometric Framework, which was devised and tested using insects but is now being applied to many other animals, including humans.

In this episode we discuss

• How much protein did humans evolve to eat?
• Why do animals instinctively know what to eat and why do humans find nutrition so difficult?
• What happens when there is not enough protein in our diets?
• What is the protein leverage hypothesis and how does it affect weight gain or weight loss?
• Their book “Eat Like the Animals”

Next on the podcast series “What did humans evolve to eat?” I had Dr. Laura Weyrich, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Penn State University. She received her bachelor’s of science from South Dakota State University in Applied and Industrial Microbiology and received her PhD in biochemistry, microbiology, bioethics, and molecular biology from Penn State.

In this episode we discuss

• Why is the ancestral health community obsessed with the paleo diet?
• Dr. Weyrich’s research on bacteria found in teeth of fossil remains and what that tells us about our dietary past
• Is it possible to know the proportions of animal to plant foods our ancestors ate by studying bacteria?
• How a bacteria shared by termites and Australian Aborigines may have given them a survival advantage!

"Death by a thousand paper cuts". When I heard Dr. Olivia Lesslar use that phrase to describe how most people are affected by the modern lifestyle, I knew I had to work it into the title. Indeed, the the chronic disease epidemic which has resulted from the way most people live their lives does not have one single cause, but rather a multifaceted conglomerate of root causes, and can often be additive.

Dr. Olivia Lesslar, MBBS, is passionate about mobilising patients to take control of their health; focusing on sleep, movement, nutrition, and mindset as the core pillars of their well-being. Olivia provides a comprehensive evaluation of each patient, looking beyond their diagnosis and symptoms, and taking a whole-systems approach, to gain insights into the root cause.

In this episode we discuss

• A deeper dive into histamine, the benefits of antihistamines, and a shocking danger of chronic antihistamine use
• Why Dr. Lesslar calls the modern lifestyle "Death by a thousand paper cuts"
• The problem with abusing antibiotics
• Why doctors are not the gatekeepers to health and why people should take their health into their own hands

Long Hauler's, Long C*VID, post-acute CV19, the list goes on. Known by many names, this condition is the collection of symptoms such as anxiety, depression, shortness of breath, loss of smell, fatigue, headache, and more, which can occur after an infection.

My guest today is Dr. Tina Peers, a clinician based in the UK who works with individuals with histamine intolerance, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, and women undergoing menopause. After observing her daughter suffer with severe histamine intolerance, she set out to determine how best to treat her. Since then, she has found an interesting link between histamine and CV19

In this episode we discuss

• What is histamine and how does it relate to the risk and treatment of Long CV19?
• How does histamine affect our immune systems and overall health?
• An antihistamine drug which has been used to lower CV19 death rate by more than 30%
• Diet, supplements, and other lifestyle habits for managing histamine intolerance
• What Mast Cell Activation Syndrome is
