  • Ep 153 - Dr Cowan | #1 Cause of Heart Attacks & Strokes (EAT THIS Instead)
    Mar 22 2026

    This episode is brought to you by Primal Tallow Balms & Soaps.


    Is it possible that "clogged arteries" and high cholesterol aren't the primary causes of heart attacks? In this episode, Dr. Tom Cowan (MD) joins us to challenge the 80-year-old Thrombogenic Theory and break down the clinical reality of cardiovascular health. Drawing from his experience overseeing more than 100,000 patient cases, Dr. Cowan explains why traditional cardiology’s focus on LDL and plaque often misses the true physiological triggers of heart disease. From the power of collateral circulation to the impact of metabolic acidosis on heart tissue, this episode provides the medical clarity needed to look past the "clogged pipe" model and understand how the heart actually functions. Whether you are tracking your own markers or are a healthcare professional seeking root-cause insights, this conversation bridges the gap between historical medical literature and modern clinical reality.

  • Ep 152 - Dr Eric Westman | #1 Way To Lose Weight & Fix Disease [EAT THIS]
    Feb 15 2026

    The most effective weight-loss method that never fails, with Dr. Eric Westman. If you want to lose weight and fix a disease, eat these foods. Is it possible to lose weight without counting a single calorie or tracking every gram of fiber?

    In this episode, Dr. Eric Westman (Associate Professor of Medicine at Duke University) joins us to break down the clinical reality of weight loss, the power of low-carb living, and the emerging science of Euketonemia. From his decades of clinical experience, Dr. Westman explains why the traditional "eat less, move more" model fails and how targeting insulin, not just calories, is the key to unlocking stubborn fat stores. Whether you're a keto veteran or just starting your journey, this episode provides the medical clarity needed to simplify your diet and see results.

If you’ve been told your blood tests are "normal" but you still feel exhausted, this episode reveals the root causes that conventional medicine often overlooks—from mitochondrial dysfunction and thyroid regulation to the hidden toxins in our food and water.
