Fat-burning Man By Abel James (video Podcast): Real Food, Real Results.

You guys have been requesting today's guest for a while now. Dr. David Perlmutter is a board-certified neurologist and the author of the terrifically titled, #1 New York Times Bestseller, “Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth about Wheat, Carbs and Sugar - Your Brain's Silent Killers.” This show was a ton of fun for me personally, and is chock-full of awesome information. On the show we talk about: The surprising reason you should be eating more cholesterol. How eating fat makes you smart. The brain-building effects of musical training. The 2 things you can do right now to literally regrow your brain. Big news and updates: The Fat-Burning Man Show managed to break iTunes charts and get BOTH the audio and video podcasts in the TOP 10! Thank you as always for the amazing support. If you have a moment, we would love it if you left a review! As if that wasn't already exciting enough, we also released The Fat-Burning Chef this week! Be sure to head to the Facebook page as well for a whole bunch of giveaways.

This week's guest is with a fellow podcaster and wellness warrior, Chris Kresser. Chris runs his incredibly popular blog by the same name, and is also the author of the brand spankin' new book "Your Personal Paleo Code," which will be released on December 31st! On the show Chris & I talk about: The top 5 myths in fat loss, health, and longevity. Why science often tells a different story than the media. Even if 50 million people say a foolish thing, it’s still a foolish thing. Why cavemen died young. And tons more! We all think [these diseases] are normal but there is a big difference between common and normal. - Chris Kresser *Click to Tweet! Updates from the world of FatBurningMan.com: The Fat-Burning Man Show is now available as a VIDEO podcast! Mind taking a minute to leave us a review? We are very excited that The Fat-Burning Chef cookbook will be relaunching next week! We've added 25 new recipes and 3 new contributors, along with a killer new interior design.

This week's show is with one impressive woman, Lierre Keith. Lierre has been a highly requested guest for a while now, and I think this show is going to show you exactly why. Lierre is the author of "The Vegetarian Myth," plus she is a farmer and an activist. She has a great story about not only how she personally transitioned away from veganism, but also how her story can help others to realize when food choices aren't working for them. In this week's show we talk about: Why being a vegan may be harmful for your health. How agriculture broke the planet and made us fat and sick. What we can do to reclaim our health and save the world. And lots more! The problem is actually agriculture, it is THE most destructive thing people have done to the planet. - Lierre Keith *Click to Tweet! More Updates from FatBurningMan.com: Thank you to everyone for the HUGE outpouring of support we've received for our apps. If you haven't seen "Caveman Feast" and "Gluten-Free Desserts" - go check them out! Be sure you are s

Did everyone in the U.S. have an awesome Thanksgiving yesterday? We sure enjoyed ourselves with tons of amazing food, great friends and lots of laughs. A welcomed time of relaxation after a CRAZY couple of weeks traveling to Brazil, filming for new and exciting projects coming soon, and launching two new apps! Speaking of the new apps... We are so incredibly thankful for all of the support we've received with our two awesome apps this past week. In case you missed it... Here's the scoop: Caveman Feast is finally out for Android! After such an outcry when we first launched the app in iTunes, we knew we had to listen up to you Android users. So here it is! On Monday we also launched a brand new app for Gluten-Free Desserts, in iTunes only right now. These awesome recipes are courtesy of this week's podcast guest, Alyson Bridge. More on her in a bit! With all of the excitement, we were so excited to see BOTH apps hit Top 5 in iTunes! THANK YOU all so much for purchasing the app, and leaving reviews. If

He's back again! My good buddy George, from Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations, Caveman Feast, and The Paleo Kitchen joins us this week. "Eggs 'n bacon. that's where everything starts" @CookingCaveman George opens up with brutal honesty and doesn't let up. As usual, George and I have a ton of fun on the show. **Spoiler alert! I may make George cry!** In this week's show you'll hear about: George's awesome journey from being a non-cooker to a rockstar Paleo blogger How to recover from injury (physically, mentally, and emotionally) How to cope with weight gain Why taking a step forward is better than finishing first And tons more...  "I doesn't matter what place I come in. It doesn't matter where I finish. All that matters is that I START." @CookingCaveman ***AUDIO & VIDEO FILES HERE***?? Updates from the world of The Fat-Burning Man: Be on the look-out for our newest app "Gluten Free Desserts" - in the meantime, you can check out the eCookbook HERE. We will also be launching the Android version of ou

What if you could completely change the way your genes are expressed, without using any crazy sci-fi, new-agey machines or drugs? Gray Graham is here to explain exactly that. Gray is the lead author for the book “Pottenger’s Prophecy” and expert in epigenetics. If you're not familiar with the term epigenetics quite yet, don't despair (heck, spell check doesn't even recognize the word!). But this field of study is definitely something you don't want to dismiss: epigenetics has revealed that we have the power to literally reprogram our genes in favor of being lean and strong (instead of fat and flabby). "What we know now is that genes can be turned on or off...based on what we do in our environment: food, exercise, and toxins." - Gray Graham  In this week's show you'll hear about: How you can literally reprogram your genetic expression to live longer Why what you eat has massive implications on the health of your children Why being 100% Paleo or 100% Vegan might be hurting you What nutrition has to do w

This is a pretty special episode for me this week. Today's guest is Danny Dreyer, and his book "ChiRunning" is really the first book that made me question my relationship with running, and then snowballed into rethinking the way I ate as well. I don't usually encourage or recommend many of the books that come my way, but this is one that I seriously love and think a lot of people could benefit from reading.  It's been a great week here, and after some exciting conversations, the one thing I want to ask of you this week is FEEDBACK! So I need you to let us know: What is it we are doing right now that's working? What do you LOVE about the show and FatBurningMan.com? But even more importantly, what do you think we can improve on? Feel free to get in touch in any way you feel comfortable, on Facebook, Twitter, or the best way is always to just reply to one of my emails. We want to hear from you!  Alright, on to this week's show with Danny where we talk about: What it’s like to run without your legs. Why trainin

This week we're here with Dan Edwardes. Dan is one of the founding members of Parkour Generations, the the world’s leading professional organization for the dynamic movement discipline of parkour and free-running. Yup, Dan is one of those guys you see running up the side of buildings and jumping over things most of us wouldn't even think possible. Parkour Generations has also started official parkour coaching certification ADAPT and the new Parkour Fitness Specialist certification for fitness professionals. In other news, we are very excited to say that The Fat-Burning Man Facebook page is coming up close on 10,000 fans.

  After loads of requests from you loyal listeners, we are pleased to present Mr. Rich Roll! Rich is one of Men's Fitness Magazine's "Top 25 Fittest Men," a fellow top podcaster, plant-fueled endurance athlete, and the author of the best-selling "Finding Ultra." We speak about beating out Jillian Michaels for #1 in Health on iTunes, and I'm pleased to say we got her this week. Interestingly, I have FAR more in common with Rich's point of view as it relates to nutrition and health (despite the fact that he's vegan) than Jillian. You really can be happy and healthy at the same time, and tip of the hat to Rich for walking the walk. Another huge thank you to those who have continued to donate to the show. If you haven't had the chance to donate and would like to, you can do so by clicking HERE and I'll send you 2 of my bestselling ebooks as a special thanks for your support. If you'd rather show your support in another way, we are always very grateful for your reviews on iTunes. You rock! On to the show, today w

Today is a very special episode, because our guest is actually one of our listeners. Denny Hemingson contacted me a few months ago via email and told me about the great success he's had with a Wild Diet-lifestyle. The kicker of all this? He's actually the band leader for Tim McGraw's back-up band. If anyone has some great insight on how to live Paleo/Primal on the road, this is the episode for you! In other exciting news, I am just getting back from Victoria, Canada. I was up there recording with Dave Asprey for a brand new show we'll be doing all about biohacking. We don't even have a name for it yet, but it's going to be awesome. Be sure to sign up below so you'll be the first to hear when that comes out. [ois skin="Postage"] I'd also like to also send a huge thank you to those out there who donated over the last week to support The Fat-Burning Man Show. Every dollar counts when it comes to making sure we can continue to bring the show to you without advertisements or sponsorship. A big shout-out to those w

Today we have a oft-requested guest, Mr. Vinnie Tortorich. He's Hollywood's go-to guy for fitness and weight loss, coined as America's Angriest Trainer. Vinnie is also the author of the terrific book Fitness Confidential, where he debunks the myths and gimmicks of the weight loss industry. Vinnie is hilarious - you're going to dig this episode. Before we get to the show, I have a very special request. Unlike a lot of podcasts out there, The Fat-Burning Man Show is entirely listener supported. No advertisements, no sponsors, no corporations lurking in the background trying to influence what we have to say. As you know, the show and a lot of the content on FatBurningMan.com is completely free, and I want to keep it that way for as long as I can. With the amazing growth we've seen over the past year and a half for the show (we just passed 2 million listens!!!), we're barraged by companies desperate to advertise their wares on the show. But for the reasons I describe on this page, we always say no. If you like wh

  We're here today with Dr Charles Livingston, who is a Board Certified Chiropractic Physician and the man behind "Fat Loss Factor." His goal is to give clients a lifestyle change that is simple, ultra effective and allows them to still eat their favorite foods. We cover a lot of really interesting topics in this show, I think you're really going to like it.  Before we get to it though, if I could ask one favor of you all. If you haven't already left a review for the show on iTunes, I would appreciate it so much if you took a minute to do so. We're actually going to be giving away a prize in the next few days to one lucky review-writer (not telling you what it is though!). So if you can take a minute to scoot over to iTunes, that would be great. Today Dr. Charles & I talk about: Why taking supplements every day isn’t a good idea A chiropractor’s take on whether or not vaccinating your children is safe How to get started in intermittent fasting And lots more!

Lots of exciting things happening lately. I just returned from a wilderness survival trip out in Rocky Mountain National Park. It was a blast, and if there's one thing I recommend you take as an action step this week it's this: leave all your gadgetry at home, disconnect and get outside! We've also started recording a fun new video series with Dave Asprey, from Bulletproofexec.com. We're going to be talking about a lot of fun things on that show. We don't even have a name for it yet, but you can look forward to that! Last but not least, the CavemanFeast app is still kicking butt on the iTunes charts. We were even featured by Apple in the U.S. and Austra
