Summary
Deciphering the impact of our dietary choices on our own health, social and cultural discrepancies, and the future of the environment, is increasingly challenging among the mass of information that most of us face daily. There is a case for eating beef that offers an opportunity for environmental restoration, preservation of traditional cultural practices, and an equal chance at health for as many populations as possible. Today's guest, Robb Wolf, has done the research, isolated the facts, and uncovered revelations that debunk years of dietary dogma.
You'll learn:
- Crucial considerations that may be at odds with common nutritional propaganda.
- What industrial, monocropped food systems mean for the future of the planet.
- How consciously raising livestock can actually reverse climate change.
- Why the direction of Big Food hits those near the bottom of the socio-economic ladder the hardest.
- The dangers and dispassion behind the movement to eliminate global traditional food systems.
Robb Wolf, a former research biochemist, is the New York Times & WSJ Best Selling author of The Paleo Solution and Wired To Eat. Robb's newest book is Sacred Cow, co-authored by Diana Rodgers, R.D. Robb has transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people around the world via his top ranked iTunes podcast, books and seminars.

If I have to convince you to prioritize your health, Muscle Intelligence coaching isn't for you…. If I have to convince you that the best investment you can make is in yourself…. That being fit is not a temporary decision, but a commitment…. That it's not about MORE or what you do, it's about BETTER and how you do it... Or that your physical health impacts all areas of your life, keep scrolling.
I'm not in the business of convincing anyone. I'm in the business of transformation.
The individuals who come to us are already high-performers. They're committed. Ready.
Don't get me wrong - These guys come with challenges too. They typically have limited time to train, injuries, no gym access, busy families, no customized plans, no specific training knowledge, no coach and an inner fear that it's going to be too hard.
But here's the tough love you need to hear: The only difference between these guys and YOU… is that they took action. They stepped in the ring anyway.
I'm looking for a few more men who want to transform in 2022. If you're serious and you're committed, I'd love to see if you're a right fit for a program I'm starting in 2022. Apply now at muscleintelligence.com/apply

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the muscle intelligence podcast. I'm your host, Ben Pekulski. Thank you so much for being here. I know that you have a lot of podcasts, a lot of videos to choose from. So I don't take it lightly that you're here. We intentionally |
| 0:21.9 | scour the world to find the world's brightest people to ultimately support you in living |
| 0:27.5 | your greatest life in the body you love. And nutrition can be a very convoluted, very |
| 0:33.6 | confusing area to discuss. So when we bring a guest on, we really try to vet them as being |
| 0:40.8 | people who are really leading the conversation. It seems like when you really get to the top |
| 0:46.3 | of the nutrition world, everyone's really saying the same thing. When you're kind of down lost in |
| 0:51.7 | the weeds and the people who are maybe new or very, very polarizing, sometimes the information gets a little bit challenging. When you really kind of |
| 0:58.8 | rise to the top, the people who have been around for a while, the people who are known to be |
| 1:02.6 | the world's experts, they all seem to be saying a pretty parallel thing. It always seems to come |
| 1:08.5 | back to some very basic ancestral practices. And Rob Wolf is the |
| 1:13.6 | king of ancestral practices in the ancestral community, as well as it integrated into the paleo-nutrition |
| 1:20.4 | community. Robert wrote a book that is an international bestseller called Wired to Eat, |
| 1:25.5 | an incredible insight into how the body actually uses nutrients, |
| 1:31.0 | how sometimes person to person the exact same food can actually have a completely different |
| 1:36.3 | response. We discussed that book and his more recent book, also, which was made into a movie |
| 1:41.3 | called Sacred Cow, which he co-authored with Diana Rogers, |
| 1:45.5 | a registered dietitian. And the purpose behind writing the book was ultimately to have a deeper |
| 1:50.7 | understanding of agriculture and the importance of biodiversity and how maybe our agricultural |
| 1:56.0 | practices are implicated in affecting the earth versus maybe not the way we're sold in maybe the vegetarian |
| 2:03.8 | communities. So today's conversation is really a deep dive into Rob's understanding of |
| 2:08.8 | nutrition, biochemistry, and ultimately agriculture, and how we kind of meld all those things |
| 2:14.0 | together to kind of land somewhere on ancestral practices and how to apply that |
