EP527: TL Nuggets #138 - Shawn Baker, MD - Why You Need To Eat Meat!

“We went from the art of medicine to the business practice of disease management.”

Many things need to change in this world but seemingly large groups of emotionally charged people seem to think the answer is a complete abandonment of traditional lifestyles. When it comes to food and health, like everything else it gets complicated. Social issues, corrupt business practices and politics have distorted reality, leaving people confused and fighting amongst themselves over misconceptions and falsehoods. Under pressure from mental health issues, obesity, and others, people who’ve lost hope go to extremes and advocate for a dramatic shift in ideology. They aren’t able to see the simple solutions inherent in nature and reflected in traditions. Basic traditions remain regardless of how complicated society becomes.

Today’s guest believes eating meat is important to humanity and he doesn’t tolerate government mandates that take away people’s freedom to eat what they want and what he feels they should. He mentions regenerative farming as a sustainable solution to the  problems with modern cattle production. He was an orthopaedic surgeon and later ran a private practice and he’s learned more than the average person about how a carnivore diet contributes to health. His website https://carnivore.diet and book, The Carnivore Diet support people in the many facets of transitioning to a meat diet.

Shawn is an athlete, author, international speaker, podcast host, and consultant. He appeared twice on Joe Rogan’s podcast, a testament to the success and popularity of the carnivore diet. He’s the co-founder and chief medical officer at Revero, an online clinic that targets the root causes of chronic disease. Shawn believes in individual sovereignty and he does everything he can to give that to people through health and diet.

EP526: Michael Fosberg - Why Social Media Is Actually Anti-Social

“It's a universal human experience. We're all on this journey of identity. It doesn't stop. It's not like you get to a certain place in your life and you go, ‘that's it I'm done, I know exactly who I am, where I'm going and what I'm doing’.”

“We have more in common than we have differences.”

We all experience a degree of separation from others in our lives. We can be in the same room yet feel worlds apart. Politics and especially our own notions of ourselves and others can complicate the innate connection and familiarity to other human beings. This is fine as a starting point but today’s guest, Michael Fosberg, wants the world to know that great change is possible with a broader point of view. He reminds us that our lives are ever changing and that we’ll never really fully arrive at coming to know ourselves and those around us and curiosity rather than judgement lends itself better to the journey.

In a world where people often argue and disagree, Michael’s message helps us find common ground and bridge gaps, look beyond labels and engage in meaningful conversations that bring people together.

Michael Fosberg is an author, playwright, performer and activist who’s been speaking to national media about race and identity issues for over a decade. He was raised as a white man only to later discover that he has prominent black roots. He worked directly worked with the United Way Worldwide, the FBI, The Boeing Company, The Dept of Homeland Security, Harvard College, Purdue University among others, to reshape the conversation about race, identity, diversity, and inclusion. His memoir; Incognito: An American Odyssey of Race and Self Discovery was published in 2011 and his latest book is, Nobody Wants to Talk About It: Race, Identity, and the Difficulty in Forging Meaningful Conversations.
