Apache Leader Geronimo Didn't Eat Fish with Atom Bergstrom
01/08/21 • 219 min
When people talk about omega-3 fatty acids they often point out the ancestral history of them in human nutrition. Native Americans are often referenced as having fish in their diet as a staple. According to Atom Bergstrom and his research into the Apache tribe leader Geronimo, it wasn't! Indigenous people knew the difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats.
In this episode we talk about protein sparing with carbohydrate consumption, bodybuilding, terrain theory and more!

Why I'm No Longer Christian (But still love Jesus)
In the final episode of the year I get vulnerable and share my thoughts about spirituality and specifically Christianity. Late last year an unexpected series of events led me down a rabbit hole of researching religious trauma, purity culture, the physiological harm that guilt and shame causes, the danger of anticipating an end-of-the-world scenario, and a final judgment.
Similar to going from raw veganism to raw primal, many people are going from new age straight to orthodox christianity. I believe that happened to me and many others. There are psychologists such as Dr Darrel Ray that work with people specifically to heal from religious trauma that was literally stressing them to death.
As I mentioned in the title, I still love Jesus, but I’m questioning the dogmatic views that people cling to and use to attack others that don’t believe the same things. Divide and conquer has always been the game to keep humanity enslaved. Religion is a great tool to use for that because people police each other and hold each other down and prevent healing and growth.
I no longer believe in original sin and that from our first breath we were born imperfect. In the show I talk about the book that I’m reading that gives an alternative take on the garden of eden Genesis story and what it was all about. I am not flawed and I feel no guilt for being alive and breathing.

Finding Balance in Your Healing Journey with Kourtney Simmang
When you heal on a specific program it is easy to get stuck on one paradigm and become rigid in the way that you live your life. Health is a lot more than nutrition, so rigidity can breed disease and imbalances.
Kourtney Simmang healed herself from migraines, ADD, PCOS, Hashimotos, Epstein bar, and more using a metabolically supporting approach to health and not restricting macronutrients. Whats more impressive, having come out the other side, she maintains a balanced approach and doesn't mind bending the rules every once in awhile.
In this interview I ask Kourtney several questions from listeners including: What is a good strategy for hyperthyroidism? How to increase a woman's sex drive? What is an ideal breakfast, lunch and dinner? What are the best foods for fertility and pregnancy? Be sure to tune into this one!
