Summary

bengreenfieldfitness.com/peakhuman

On a recent trip to Austin, Texas, I had the pleasure to sit down with my new friend Brian Sanders.

Brian is the filmmaker behind the feature-length documentary Food Lies and host of the Peak Human podcast. He graduated from UCLA with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and then turned to technology and sold an app company. He’s used his technical background and love for fitness and nutrition to also work as a Health Coach and be the co-founder of the health, media, and technology company SAPIEN.

He's also a speaker and the owner of NoseToTail.org providing premium grass-finished meat to the 48 contiguous states. Prior to this podcast, we both did a "shot" of a kratom/kava euphoric-inducing blend called FeelFree, so the podcast got a bit crazy!

0:04.8	modify that ketogenic diet in the way that I did after the test, which would be
0:08.7	to not restrict carbohydrates to the extent to where you're getting some
0:11.5	physiological blowback. And so for Iron Man, like there was a certain point where I'd
0:15.2	switch to just like bowl-on-shover. So we have this rift in society, right? We
0:19.0	have the healthy people hanging out with healthy people and the unhealthy or fat
0:21.6	people hanging out with fat people. What then needs to occur, you have to
0:24.2	certain fighting your unhealthy friends or your overweight friends to the same
0:27.5	type of events, but just make sure they're always outnumbered.

0:52.1	Howdy, howdy, howdy. It's Ben. I am, I'm in my office right now.
0:56.7	It's up in a nice black cup of coffee. That's it. Just that.

1:22.2	this a couple of days ago in Austin, Texas. Also, drink said substance and we
1:26.4	tried to avoid this podcast becoming basically the equivalent of two biohackers
1:31.6	engaged in drunken banter. I'm joking. We weren't actually drunk. However, we
1:38.9	we both slammed a shot of this stuff called feel free and they didn't really
1:42.8	like a sponsor of the show or anything. I just, I just, somebody gave me a bottle
