Summary

Whether you’re struggling with your health, weight, and metabolism, or you’re simply looking to improve all three, author and long-time podcaster of The Model Health Show, Shawn Stevenson, has some incredible insight to share in this episode.

That’s because Shawn dives into factors that most people aren’t addressing and shows why these could be contributing to why you’re not feeling and looking your best.

Shawn discusses topics such as hypothalamic inflammation, epicaloric influences, and how calories are digested based on the state of your gut microbiome.

You’ll also hear how brain inflammation, calorie counting, and your mindset could be negatively impacting your health and metabolism and what you can do about them.

In addition, Shawn also touches on how out-of-whack hormones could be at fault, why the food you eat affects other aspects of health, and what destroys your metabolism.

Shawn didn’t start out as the epitome of health. At age 20, he was told that he had the spine of an 80 year old man and he was fitted with a back brace and told to go on bedrest.

It was at this point he decided to take his health into his own hands by diving into studies to see what he could uncover and ultimately change.

He radically revamped everything he was doing and completely turned around his health.

Now he shares his principles in his best-selling books, Sleep Smarter and Eat Smarter, and on his podcast The Model Health Show.

You’ll get a glimpse into some of his top health tenets when you tune into this episode with Dr. Anthony Gustin and you’ll learn more about the factors that most people don’t realize have such a huge impact on health, metabolism, and weight.

0:00.0	Today I welcome Sean Stevenson to the podcast. He was a long time
0:08.8	podcaster. He has his own show called The Model Health Show. Some of you may have
0:12.4	heard of that before. He also has two books, Sleep Smarter and the new one Eat Smarter.
0:16.6	And Sean is just like me. He hates the foodstuffs in the way it is and tries to simplify things
0:23.9	as much as humanly possible. So his story we dive into a little bit in the show.
0:27.6	But then also sort of navigate all of the things that are stacked against us to try to be healthy
0:33.2	in the modern world beyond just nutrition as well. So this one is super packed full of a lot of
0:39.3	interesting tips that you guys can take with you and hopefully implement starting today. So tune
0:43.4	in and I hope you enjoy. This episode is brought to you by White Oak Pastures, a fully regenerative
0:49.1	form based out of Bluffton, Georgia. If you guys don't know how obsessed I am about regenerative
0:53.4	agriculture, you probably haven't been around listening to this podcast for a long time. This
0:57.8	is a type of farming and mimics natural ecosystems to restore the loss of soil, biodiversity,
1:02.4	investible, pulling carbon out in the atmosphere. I recently actually just purchased a farm here
1:06.0	in Texas to start learning about this myself. But White Oak has been around doing this for decades
1:10.4	and it shows in research. They actually recently got a study done showing that for every pound of
1:16.4	meat that you eat from White Oak Pastures, you're actually putting three and a half pounds of
1:20.4	carbon back into the soil. When you have this ecosystem where all the animals work together,
1:25.4	you actually get carbon pulled back into the soil. Whereas the fake meat beyond impossible,
1:29.6	etc., they put four pounds of carbon into the atmosphere. So if you're going to really do any
1:36.7	sort of choice for the environment or for your own health, this is the way to do it. These are the
1:40.8	types of farms to support. I love their products and not only their animal products, which they have
1:45.6	a pound of, all the way from the classic chicken turkey pork and beef, but also guinea duck,
