Summary

We're trapped in a web of narratives. Right now, the United States is crippled by an obesity epidemic that's getting bigger, made worse by the endless wave of related "facts" coming at us from every screen. If there is a pill for every ill, why are we so sick? Shawn Stevenson has been on a 20-year mission to learn and research where we went wrong and how we can get out of this mess. Forget about "burning fat" and instead learn the facts that will free us from this prison of chronic illness. Shawn's exit strategy is to share information from an objective place, without an agenda, and truly respect the human body as a complex lab. Your value is not based on a number. Fat is not your enemy, it's more of an overprotective parent. Let's step back, look within, and see what we find. We also talk about: The current state of health A nuanced approach to obesity and weight loss Fat: what it is and why we need it Gut health and immunity The biology of fear How do we move forward?

0:12.9	and Krista. Thank you for being here. Show a dig a deep. Deep breath.
0:18.5	Yeah. It is interesting when you were saying earlier about sometimes when you, someone's
0:28.3	like, let's take a breath. There's that resistance. We're like, this is so annoying. This is
0:31.8	so annoying. This is stupid. Yeah. What are we doing? I know. I know. But it's all good.
0:37.4	Breathe in. Make the world. Make the world go around. Baby. We should breathe, baby. They
0:42.2	were also so Sean Stevenson, our guest today, inspired a little bit of research. I was doing
0:47.5	very, very minimal research, but on breathing and it's effect on fat and metabolism, because
0:54.0	that was a conversation topic we digged into today. And there is studies that say that breathing
0:59.1	exercises can improve your digestion and your metabolism, that the extra supply of oxygen

1:27.6	that you want to stoke. Yeah. So that was beautiful. I'm really looking forward to this
1:31.5	conversation, both Lindsay and I are. We are fans of the model health show. We've been

1:43.1	the model health show is consistently on the top charts and provides really interesting
1:48.1	data science-backed information that is so easy to consume because of how clear Sean
1:53.8	is. So clear. And he truly sets sets the standard for me on research. He told us he
