153: Pasture-Raised Chicken Is Mostly Nonsense | With Chester Bidmead (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you pay a premium for pasture raised chicken or pasture raised pork at the store, you're probably not getting what you think you're getting. Chickens and pigs are monogastric animals — they have one stomach and no rumen, which means they can't ferment grass the way a cow can. Chickens descend from jungle fowl and pigs are woodland animals, so the image of birds on open green pasture has more to do with marketing than with biology. Whatever you feed a monogastric goes straight into its meat.
152: Army Colonel Explains What Most Adults Can No Longer Do | Dr. Rob Carter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, I sit down with Dr. Rob Carter, an integrative physiologist who has spent 25 years studying what happens to human beings under pressure. His new book, The Convenience Trap, makes the case that modern life has quietly outsourced our navigation, memory, attention, and physical competence — leaving most adults measurably less capable than they were built to be. I like that argument, which is exactly why I pushed on it. "Modern life is making us weak" fee
151: Bemotrizinol EXPOSED: 20 Years Late, But Is It Actually Good? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When news broke that the FDA finally approved bemotrizinol — the first new sunscreen ingredient cleared in the United States in over two decades — many people in the health community celebrated it as the ultimate breakthrough in sun protection. Since it's been used safely across Europe for over 20 years and underwent extensive safety testing, the immediate assumption is that any bemotrizinol-based sunscreen hitting shelves is an automatic win for clean living. But that assumes the active ingredi
150: Animal-Based Diet Results After 5 Years: I Finally Stopped Dieting (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Carnivore was the eye-opener that showed me how to eliminate anything that could be bothering me, but five years later, animal-based is the framework that actually stuck. I've gone through paleo, keto, and carnivore, and none of them were failed attempts; each one raised the baseline and taught me something I still use today. In this episode, I break down the three things that actually changed (not my weight, not a number on a chart), why animal-based has outlasted every stricter diet I've tried
149: Bryan Johnson's Disease Has Nothing to Do With Diet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bryan Johnson was diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis in 2026, and within a day the internet had already decided it was his vegan diet — I don't think it's that simple. In this episode I break down what autoimmune gastritis actually is, why Bryan's own data (crashed ferritin, failed iron absorption, a second autoimmune condition since he was 21) points to something deeper than food alone, and why both sides of this argument — "it's the diet" and "diet has nothing to do with it" — are missing the
