What's up? Welcome to the Shalene Show. Today we're talking about meat and other things.

Don't get it twisted.

Welcome to the Shalene Show. Shalene is a New York Times best-selling author, celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Specifically, we're gonna be talking about grass-fed beef.

Today, my host is Mike Selgero.

He's the CEO and the founder of Butcherbox.

The first delivery service dedicated to providing 100% natural grass-fed beef, organic chicken, and heritage pork to consumers now.

Before I go much further, I have to say this.

It's amazing, and it's the reason why I have Michael on the show today because it has really had a profound effect on the health of myself and my family,

as well as many people who have joined the one-through-one movement.

But the idea for Butcherbox, well, I can't wait for you to hear the story from Michael himself, but I love that it was spawned from his own passion,

and also realizing that there's so many people, maybe just like you who live in an area where you just don't have access to quality grass-fed, grass-finished beef, and animal protein that was raised humanely.

Now, if you're a vegetarian, this is probably not your episode.

But if you're a meat eater, if protein is an important part of your diet, a couple things I want you to know before finishing this episode.

Number one, we consume way too much animal protein in an American diet.

That's a fact.

Second fact is most of it, 98% is conventionally-farmed animal products, which means these are animals that are raised in conditions that are, well, frankly, it's open to debate,

and I know I'm going to make a lot of people angry, especially farmers.

I love my farmers. I'm a Midwestern girl. I want you to do your own research.

I want you to decide for yourself what's best for you.

I can just tell you what I believe is best, and that is from an ethical standpoint, and also from a micro and macro-nutrient standpoint,

the quality of the meat, and the way I feel about the way the animals are treated, it matters to me.
