Summary

Welcome to the Human Performance Outliers Podcast with hosts Dr. Shawn Baker and Zach Bitter. For this episode, we welcome Dr. Peter Ballerstedt who has extensive experience in forage agronomy, agriculture, and ruminants. He was the Forage Extension Specialist at Oregon State University from 1986 to 1992. His personal experience led him to study human diet and health. What he's learned doesn't agree with low-fat-is healthy dietary advice we've been given for more than 30 years. This understanding, combined with his forage background, has given him an interest in the truly sustainable forms of agriculture – those including ruminant animals.
