Hey folks, this is Abel James and welcome to Fat Burning Man where we help you look, feel, and perform at your best.

Have you ever thought about selling everything and traveling the world?

We are here today with former investigator for the FDA and military intelligence officer turned modern nomad.

His name is Mr. Gary Collins.

We both abandoned the American dream to live off the grid several years ago.

And if you feel overwhelmed by bills, debt, or even social media, this episode is for you.

And as always, Gary has been on the show before.

If you would like to hear us talk about health, what to eat, how to live, be sure to listen to the past episode with Gary at FatBurningMan.com.

Just put Gary Collins into the search bar, it should come right up.

But anyway, this episode gets down and dirty and it's always no hold barred when Gary comes on the show.

So I hope you enjoy it.

Now, before we get there, here's a note that just came in from Scott.

He says, Abel, a big thanks to you and your podcast guests for all the amazing info and encouragement.

After four decades of eating literally whatever I wanted, including mostly massive quantities of processed carbs and obscene amounts of sugar, I finally started to do something about it a few days after my 40th birthday.

By God's mercy, my body had not yet succumbed to diabetes or obesity, but regular bouts with fatigue, IBS, and hemorrhoids.

Shirtless swimming picks from my birthday weekend were just the catalyst I needed to get serious about my diet.

Six weeks in, I probably listened to 60 plus episodes on 1.5x speed, by the way.

During my daily or twice daily half hour walks, and I've been eating all real food for the first time in my life and watching the bad cravings literally fade into nothingness.

Hemorrhoids have disappeared. IBS is non-existent. Energy is up and I'm down almost 30 pounds and looking forward to 5 or 10 more in the coming weeks.

Thanks for helping keep me motivated. Scott, man, 60 plus episodes.

What do I sound like at 1.5x speed?

I always wondered that actually. Maybe I should check it out. I'm sure I'd be horrified. I don't want to sound like a chipmunk.
