Fat-burning Man By Abel James (video Podcast): Real Food, Real Results.

Thanks so much for joining us on Fat-Burning Man where we talk about how to avoid becoming The Borg. Have you ever measured the dirty electricity and electromagnetic pollution emanating from your smart devices at all times? You don’t need me to tell you that modern humans are tethered to technology to an astonishing degree. But for unspecified reasons, electromagnetic frequencies, or EMFs, and the many health issues that they create are too often hidden from the conversation. Do you keep your phone in your pocket or use your laptop on your lap? We are the first humans ever to microwave our nether regions on a daily basis. That is no bueno. So what effects do EMFs really have on our bodies? The answer will raise a few eyebrows. And we have the perfect guest for you today. We’re here with Justin Frandson, an author and Athleticism Performance Coach who has worked with amateur and professional athletes for over two decades. After watching his athletes’ health break down, Justin began to test clients in t

Are you a little bit confused about exactly what is healthy and what isn't? In a sea of disinformation, marketing hype and rage bait, combined with aggressive censorship of researchers, doctors and health professionals, finding your way to the truth isn't easy. Over the past few years, the internet has been hijacked by cowardly, unelected overlords who shadowban, censor and silence us in a sad attempt to dumb us down and keep us in the dark. But what if these tech platforms, instead of intentionally distracting and demoralizing us, were actually used as a force for good? Returning to the show this week is our friend Ben Azadi, a bestselling author, health coach, award-winning podcast host and founder of Keto Kamp. In 2008, Ben went through a personal health transformation, shedding an incredible 80 pounds and completely transforming his health. Now he helps teach other people how to do exactly the same thing and live a healthier lifestyle. So I think you're going to like this one. On this show with Ben Azadi,

How do store-bought fermented foods like sauerkraut and yogurt, you might ask, match up against the kind you can make at home? Well, most of the yogurts and "fermented foods" you find in the grocery store are unfortunately sorely lacking in the live nutrients department. But when you eat the real thing, a food that's been fermented the right way for the right amount of time, you can tell that it's alive. It's burbling and fizzing, and when you eat it you can feel that it's actually doing something for you. There's a magic as well as a host of health benefits to the ancient low-cost methods of fermenting our foods. So, what is the difference between homemade and store-bought? Well, it gets a little bit into the weeds. But thankfully, today we're here with a specialist. Joining us on the show is our dear friend, the wonderful and talented Tammy Brill, a noted scientist and educator in the field of gut health and fermented foods. After nearly 30 years of teaching as a microbiology instructor and university lab s

Have you ever seen a dog that's a spitting image of its owner? The resemblance can be hilariously uncanny, but beyond similarities in affectation, gait and overall goofiness, we find time and time again that the health of our pets is often reflective of the health of their caretakers. Having dogs or pets around has been an integral part of the human experience for ages. But do you know what the biologically appropriate diet really is for your furry friend? If you've been following Fat-Burning Man for a while, you may have come across a post or two about my dog, Bailey the Labrador retriever, who has miraculously survived many near death experiences, including getting hit by a car, falling off a small cliff, stung by a scorpion, bit in the face by a rattler, and several mild to major poisonings of various kinds. But like a cat, she continues to survive. We’ve attributed her miraculous resistance to injury over the years to the way that she's been fed, an extremely nutrient-dense diet. And today's guest was ac

When was the last time you had a proper bone broth soup? You know, the slow-cooked kind that gets you all the old fashioned, real food vitamins, minerals and goodness out of big old bones and joints. Well, thankfully, getting your broth on doesn't have to mean stinking up your kitchen or garage with boiling oxtails and chicken feet. In the past few years, we found innovative ways to get the nutrition of bone broth into foods that can be a lot more convenient and fun to eat. So today we're here with Melissa Boloña, an actress and entrepreneur who created Beauty & the Broth. We're chatting about: Why a good broth can raise the dead How a good old-fashioned bone broth is different from modern cubes of concentrated salt and MSG How to get the benefits of bone broth without spending days prepping and cooking Why couch co-op video games can actually be good for relationships  And much more… Read the show notes: https://fatburningman.com/melissa-bolona-why-a-good-broth-can-raise-the-dead/ Try Melissa Boloña's

How often do you exercise?  Does it surprise you to learn that 3 out of 4 of us humans don't exercise at all, at least not on a regular basis? I'm sure draconian government interventions that outlawed group exercise, shuttered gyms and small businesses and all of that, certainly didn't help matters or our trajectory overall. But the way I see it, you have to find ways of making working out fun. And you also have to do your best to not get sidelined by injury, overtraining, or burnout.  So joining us on the show today is the perfect guest to help you work exercise into your busy life. Adam Sedlack is a fitness industry veteran with more than 3 decades of leadership expertise, and the president and cofounder of UFC Gym.  In this show, we're chatting about: Why 75% of people aren't exercising regularly and what to do about it Recovery tools that hook people on fitness How UFC Gyms are different from Fight Club The importance of defining your why and finding your personal fight  And tons more… Read the show not

What's it like to eat nothing but meat for years on end? Well, contrary to what you may hear on mainstream corporate media, animal protein can be one of the most powerful tools to help you reach and maintain a healthy body composition. But can a full-blown carnivore diet effectively fuel world class feats of athletic performance? I'm honored to say that joining us on the show today is Dr. Shawn Baker M.D., a World Champion Athlete, former Orthopedic and Trauma Surgeon, podcast host, international speaker and best-selling author of The Carnivore Diet. If you're curious about the effects of eating a meat-only diet, how to fuel with animal protein as an athlete or what to do about cravings, this is the show for you. We're chatting about: • Surprising results from giving up carbage and going full-blown carnivore • How to fuel with animal protein • Problems with a processed plant-based diet • How a Jujitsu class can help put things into perspective • What to do about cravings • Adjusting a meat-based diet for athl

How prepared are you for a grid down scenario? While grim estimates from the government estimate that up to 90% of the population could be wiped out after just one year without power, today's remarkable guest has a much more optimistic view. Today, I'm honored to be here with the one and only Mykel Hawke, a U.S. Special Forces Captain and Combat Veteran, TV Star, best-selling author and Outdoor Survival Expert. You might recognize Mykel Hawke from a number of TV shows, including Man, Woman, Wild where he and his wife Ruth, work together to survive in legit life-threatening situations like raging backcountry firestorms or being lost at sea with limited to no supplies. Mykel and Ruth resort to eating reptiles, bugs and even rotting raccoons in precarious situations. So if you want to conquer fear, be prepared for worst case scenarios and make survival preparedness fun for the whole family, this show is for you. In this episode with Mykel Hawke, you'll learn: • Why Mykel resorts to eating rodents, reptiles and b

It's easy to keep your cool during meditation, but real life isn't always quite so serene. So what do you do when someone cuts you off in traffic? Simple daily practices like meditation, breathwork, Qigong, and especially martial arts can teach us how to keep our composure and flow in the face of life's many challenges, even if someone's throwing a punch at you. So today, I'm thrilled that joining me on the show is my friend, Elzabieta Kosmicki, a Martial Arts teacher, entrepreneur, Qigong instructor, host of the Reasons & Season podcast, and a mother of 2. With over 20+ years of experience in energy healing modalities and martial arts, Elza has professional credentials in BodyTalk, Classical Chinese Medicine, Structural Integration, Somatic Therapy, Women’s and Children’s Health, Eastern and Western Herbalism, Qigong, and Martial Arts, including Enshin Karate.

Can you imagine if what you chose to eat at every meal were a life-threatening decision? According to researchers, an estimated 32 million Americans have severe food allergies and for many cross-contamination or a mislabeled ingredient label could be lethal. Today we're here with Sonia Hunt, a food allergy activist, tech marketing executive, TEDx speaker with over one million views, and the bestselling author of “NUT JOB: How I Crushed My Food Allergies To Thrive.” Sonia successfully eliminated her food allergies and she has some inspiring words on turning your food allergy weakness into a strength.

How can we find peace and happiness amongst the chaos of this world? As social media and increasingly the entire internet embraces the worst kind of censorship, it really does seem like the algorithms are trying to excise a part of the complete human. For instance, Instagram just deleted our 10-year-old account with 40,000 followers—something I'll be talking about a bit more in an upcoming podcast. But these bogus copyright claims, the shadowbanning, censorship, and now just outright deleting our accounts, this is something that's been happening to the leaders of health and fitness for quite a few years now, to be honest. And frankly, it's something that we're all going to have to rise above. So what can we do? How can we find that inner peace and to keep our cool while these technocrats bury and censor us in a dangerously lazy attempt to control all of our minds? Well, today, I'm pleased to say that we're here with J. Stewart Dixon, a modern day mindfulness teacher, musician, blogger and author of the #1 bes

What kind of person do you want to be? Do you want to be the person who always seems to be in great shape no matter what? Do you want to shred on guitar and unleash a face-melting solo? Do you want to be creative and just sketch or doodle, even if it's just for a few minutes a day? Or do you want to be the person who wakes up and immediately jumps on their phone for a quick hit of drama-induced dopamine? By asking ourselves a few key questions in getting to what actually fuels our passion, we can set up systems in our lives to become the people we aspire to be. It takes discipline and a bit of time, but when you take the reins of your own life, magical things can happen. So today, I'm thrilled to say that we're here with our friend, Brock Armstrong, a Cognitive Behavior Therapy Practitioner, writer, podcaster, Marathon and Triathlon Coach, and founder of Brock Armstrong Coaching, where he's used a functional approach to fitness and movement to personally coach hundreds of people across the finish line.

My wife, Alyson and I already made a couple of batches and can't believe the difference in how we feel, and it's only been a couple of weeks. So what is it?

How can we reduce our exposure to toxins without driving ourselves absolutely out of our minds? Our workplaces, homes and foods are contaminated with a mind-numbing mix of chemical toxins. And by default, there's a shocking lack of information available about what exactly is contained in the products we buy. But instead of aiming for super sanitized perfection—which is totally impossible—it's better to learn how to reduce our toxic load by ridding our pantries and homes of the worst offenders. And I'm pleased to say that joining us today is our friend, Gin Stephens, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of multiple books. Gin is also a retired teacher, wife, mother, and host of multiple top-ranked podcasts. Gin's intermittent fasting lifestyle shift back in 2014, led to her shedding over 80 pounds and then going on a success rampage with all that extra energy, so you're going to dig this one.

How do our finances affect our physical and mental health? Anyone who's ever been in debt knows the toll it takes on our sleep, level of stress and quality of life. And according to a recent report from CNBC, the average American is nearly $100,000 in debt right now. So how can we get back above water? If you're $100,000 in debt, that number is so high that it can be difficult to kind of chop down and make it achievable to pay it off. But if you're willing to really plan out your finances, change your mindset about how cash flow and investments look and work in your own life, then you can actually make some progress. No matter where you are with your finances right now, there's a way to make it better. And I’m pleased to say that joining us today is Lisa Easton, an entrepreneur, educator, and mother of 4. After 15+ years of working with multi-billionaires and managing projects for some of the most influential people in the world, Lisa started Millionaire Morning Mamas and 100K Activation Accelerator to teach
