Fasting is an ancient practice that many cultures across the globe have utilized for both physical and spiritual health. Today's episode is an exploration when you should fast, some success tips, and why.  

Metabolic Flexibility

Can you comfortably make it 14 hours without eating?

Do you require multiple small snacks throughout the day?

Can you train in a low carb or fasted state?

These are a few of the questions that can help determine if you have metabolic flexibility or insulin resistance. This is an important topic because multiple health problems can arise if your body is not managing blood sugar efficiently. Insulin resistance can be an early warning sign for diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and many other conditions and is a direct indicator that your metabolism is not operating the way it should be. Many people are unknowingly living with insulin resistance and are unaware of the consequences that can take place if this condition is not addressed. The goals of this episode are to inform and educate on ways to improve metabolic flexibility, increase your body’s ability to utilize fat for fuel, and decrease cravings for starches and sugars. This is a valuable episode for anybody looking to boost energy levels and learn more about preventing chronic disease.

Why are mental and emotional health issues at an all-time high in America and many other modern countries? Nearly 1 in 5 Americans suffer from a diagnosable mental health issue and that number is only growing. We talk to Ashley Mrozek about the growing need for alternative practices, emotional support, and awareness when it comes to our nation’s healthcare system. We discuss why many traditional cultures had respect for people who experienced visions or heard voices where today we diagnose them with mental illness. Ashley has helped many people come to terms with their emotional trauma and is a wealth of knowledge in the realm of holistic health. We highly encourage listeners to dive into this episode and follow the work of Ashely as she is helping pave the way for the future of mental health treatment.

When you study anthropology and culture it becomes very obvious that there is no single human diet or way of eating. There is an extreme variety in plants, animals, herbs, and methods of preparation amongst the world’s population so why do so many “experts” recommend specific diets? With so many diets available today it can be extremely difficult to decide which the best one is. In this episode we go over why you shouldn’t even worry about diets and should instead focus on eating high quality, real food. Our ancestors considered food sacred and based their lives on acquiring the healthiest food possible. This is the approach we recommend and back it up with science, history, and personal experience.

In this episode, we interview our brother Nathan Amado.  His background in MovNat and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu has enabled him to develop a unique style of movement based on intuition, flow, and self-defense. He is a Gracie Combatives and Jiu-Jitsu instructor at Gracie Aurora here in the Denver area so we discuss how and why learning a form of martial arts is so beneficial. His approach to wellness is based heavily on ancestral practices including nutrition, mindset, and spirituality. We dive deep into what he has learned from a carnivore diet and ways to successfully implement an animal-based approach to eating. If you think a plant-based approach to eating will save the planet, listen to this conversation for an opposing perspective that will blow your mind. We don’t hold back and discuss regenerative agriculture, fake meat, and why eating what nature has given us is important for all.

How did a young boy who was outcast from his tribe eventually rise to become one of the most powerful and visionary conquerors of all time? Is it true that Europe and much of the modern world greatly benefited from the wave of destruction brought on by the Mongol hordes? How can lessons from hunting, shamanism, and nature benefit civilized people? In this episode, we break down and review the fascinating work of Jack Weatherford to answer these questions and help listeners learn a different side of Mongol history that is not widely known. In his 2004 book titled Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World, a beautiful and violent picture is painted of a people who united under a leader and changed the course of history which can still be felt today.
