About Brian:

Brian Sanders is the filmmaker behind the Food Lies documentary, host of the top 5 nutrition podcast Peak Human, and an international speaker. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He also works to spread the awareness of regenerative agriculture and increase access to well-raised animal products through his company Nose to Tail.

About Food Lies Doc:

I’m Brian Sanders, and I’m making a feature length documentary called Food Lies. It's the sordid history of our dietary guidelines, the epidemic of chronic disease and obesity that followed, what the new science is telling us humans should actually be eating, and how to eat that food sustainably.

“What should we eat?” There’s so much conflicting information out there, you can even find a website espousing the miracles of an all-twinkie diet. You spend money and willpower trying to make healthy decisions, but you just gain more weight. It seems hopeless

Misinformation and bad science has led us astray over the past 60 years. It wasn’t malicious; it wasn't a government conspiracy; we just got some things wrong. 'Eating fat makes you fat' seemed logical. Cholesterol in food and cholesterol in clogged arteries seemed like an obvious connection. 'Heart healthy grains' was repeated so many times by so many reputable organizations, we just accepted it as fact. The problem is, none of it’s true.

I’ve been a filmmaker since middle school. I’ve also built and sold a tech company, worked as a mechanical engineer, and now, I’ve quit my job to devote the rest of my life to this cause. I’ve researched every conflicting dietary approach and it’s all finally starting to make sense—even some of the vegan arguments. I’ve put this research into practice, and now, at age 35, I’m in the best shape of my life. My vitals and blood work are flawless and I haven’t been sick in 3 years. The same goes for countless family, friends, and millions around the world.

About Andrés Preschel, according to himself:

Knowing your physiology, the very science that makes you who you are, is the best thing you can do to optimize your health, bolster your performance, look and feel your best, and enjoy a longer and more fulfilling lifespan.My dedication to this field derives from a selfish place born out of necessity before it became the selfless zeal I’m known for across the world. It was through my health journey (mainly battling ADD and ten years of Adderall dependency with related side effects) and love for the scientific method that I found my way.

Eventually, with the right knowledge and mentorship, I stumbled upon an enhanced state of awareness between mind, body, and spirit where healthy intentions met actionable steps and lasting, positive lifestyle change. Today I call this “physiological intuition,” and to me, it’s a right that every human being deserves to thrive with, without having to battle themselves or pursue a degree to discover it.Every day I spend on this planet, I get to learn about and create just a little more of the substance I wish I could have gotten my hands on earlier, for YOU to discover your science and optimize your life.

The Macro Perspective is our passion project.  We are two health coaches who love to work on self development with both their clients and themselves. Prior to this past December, we would have hours long phone calls, discussing everything from nutrition and fitness to relationships and goals. One day, we realized that there just might be something worthwhile for people to hear in these conversations, and we came up with a plan to do a podcast.

According to many in the business, the 44% of podcasts that fade out in their first year die out as early as their 7th episode. Being that neither of us are quitters, we made a deal to keep this going for the first 52 episodes (one full year) and then reassess.  We hit 52 in 9 months, and our reassessment is that we are having an amazing time and we can’t wait to take this to the next level. Lots of things are in store…don’t forget to subscribe to us on YouTube and Spotify (links in bio) and keep liking and sharing our content.  We see you, and we appreciate you!

Rather than our normal trailer…we wanted to post a little thank you to the guests we have had in our first 52 episodes.  We have been blown away by the caliber of guests that have come on, each and every one of them have been INCREDIBLE and have contributed to our podcast in many different ways.  THANK YOU to all of you who came on and gave us your time and energy…we are so grateful! Can’t wait to see what happens next!

More about Guest:

Meet Cinthia Martinez, the founder and creator of Latina Lifters. She was born and raised in Sinaloa, Mexico. Growing up as a Latina, she faced societal expectations that dictated she should adhere to traditional gender roles, where femininity was emphasized, and sports were considered mainly for men. The idea of going to gyms was off-limits, and there was a constant pressure to conform to the appearance of the idealized novela actresses; any deviation from this norm would lead to strong criticism.

During her teenage years, Cinthia struggled to fit in, and by the age of 12, she began experiencing body dysmorphia. She realized that her body did not match the stereotype of a Latina with a small waist and big hips, the so-called "perfect body." This realization persisted until her mid-20s when she stumbled upon weightlifting. Through weightlifting, she experienced a profound transformation - it was no longer about the weight on her body, but rather the weight she could lift in the gym. Lifting empowered her and made her feel strong and invincible!

While attending her gym, Cinthia had the opportunity to connect with other Latinas who had faced similar struggles. This experience highlighted the lack of representation of Latinas in the fitness community, leading her to take action.

With a passion to create a brand and community that celebrated Latina strength, Cinthia founded "Latina Lifters." Over the 3 years since it’s creation, she has built a community of over 40,000 amazing people. Latina Lifters aims to show the world that Latinas are beautiful, can cherish and honor their heritage while following their own rules, and most of all…are #FUERTEAF!

Latina Lifter’s August drop is August 18th! Check out https://latinalifters.com/ to see what Cinthia and her team has in store for you!
