2025/02/26

Sleep isn’t just about rest. It regulates everything from metabolism to cognitive function, and when it’s off, the entire body suffers. Yet for something so essential, many people struggle with it daily, caught in a cycle of stress, bad habits, and rigid expectations about what “good sleep” should look like. In this episode, sleep expert Nick Stewart shares a counterintuitive approach: instead of obsessing over perfect sleep, focus on flexibility. He explains why rigid sleep schedules often

2025/02/19

We’re told that our healthcare system exists to keep us healthy, but what if it was never designed for that? In this episode, we trace the roots of modern medicine and nutrition to uncover how profit-driven interests shaped the way we approach health today — and why so many people are chronically sick despite significant medical advancements. It all started in the early 20th century, when John D. Rockefeller used his influence to centralize medical education, steering it away from nutrition and

Maus is now a health and wellness advocate who left a successful career in the automotive industry to pursue his passion for optimizing human performance.

Is Vitamin C really the immune-boosting miracle it’s often claimed to be? In this episode of the Primal Shift podcast, we explore whether it’s overhyped and ineffective, or something you should actually consider adding to your supplement stack. While this powerful antioxidant is crucial for your body’s defenses and supports collagen production, skin health and cellular repair, its effectiveness isn’t as clear-cut as many believe. After all, while research shows that high doses of Vitamin C can

Is eating only steak and eggs really the optimal way to follow the carnivore diet? Or are we missing something vital by overlooking the nutrient-rich parts of the animal? In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, we explore what the carnivore diet gets right, where it often falls short, and how eating nose to tail can revolutionize your health. The carnivore diet is a powerful tool for healing chronic conditions like IBS and autoimmune disorders, but many people focus solely on muscle meat and

2025/01/08

The way most of us breathe — shallow and fast — can trigger stress and anxiety by activating the body’s fight-or-flight response. Over time, this leads to chronic stress, poor sleep and reduced immune function. But with intentional breathing techniques like breath retention, you can turn every breath into a tool for stress relief and better health. Breath retention, or holding your breath after inhalation and exhalation, is a simple yet transformative practice that trains your body to handle stress

Organ meats are some of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, yet most people avoid them. Chef James Barry wants to change that. With over 20 years of culinary experience under his belt, he’s seen first-hand how real, whole foods can transform your health. The problem (at least when it comes to organs) is their stereotype for being bad-tasting and hard to prepare. Plus, most American shoppers don’t even know where to find them (if their grocery store of choice offers any organ meat at all).

Have you ever felt like you’ve tried every trick in the book to slow down the signs of aging, only to see no measurable results? That’s exactly how I felt when I began NAD supplementation. In this episode, I’ll tell you about my experience with this increasingly popular anti-aging approach, including the bold experiment that finally got my NAD levels to increase. NAD, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, is a molecule essential to life. It’s involved in critical functions like energy production,

Your indoor air quality might be worse than you think, and it’s not just about dust or odors. The air in most homes can harbor hidden dangers like mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and even harmful bacteria — all of which can quietly undermine your health. Plus, modern building materials and design choices often make the problem worse, sealing contaminants inside and creating environments that allow them to thrive.

Most of us set goals, like losing weight, improving our fitness or changing our career trajectory. But how do you go from dreaming about a better future to actually creating one? In this episode, I share the step-by-step process I’ve used to transform my own goals into reality. It all starts with clearly defining what you want. There’s something powerful about speaking your goal out loud, which changes it from a passing thought into something much more concrete. For example, in my early 30s, I told

Ever wonder if you’re feeding your dog the diet nature intended? In this episode, I explain why dogs are natural-born meat eaters and challenge some widespread misconceptions about what your dog should be eating (even those your vet might be promoting). Dogs descend directly from wolves, which are obligate carnivores with physiology designed for a meat-centric diet. From their sharp, pointed teeth (which are ideal for tearing flesh) to their highly acidic digestive systems (which effortlessly break

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, many of us are gearing up to prepare the perfect holiday feast. But before you grab just any turkey from the supermarket, consider opting for a pasture-raised bird. They have better fat profiles, more nutrients, and superior flavor compared to their factory-farmed counterparts. Plus, pasture-raised turkeys are often raised via regenerative farming practices that benefit the planet. In this episode of the Primal Shift Podcast, I explain why the way a turkey

When you commit to improving your health — whether it’s through diet, exercise, or lifestyle changes — you often find yourself at odds with the people closest to you. For example, when I made the switch to paleo over a decade ago, it put a serious strain on my relationship with my wife. I cut out entire food groups overnight, convinced it was the best way forward for our health. But without explaining my reasons or considering her perspective, it nearly pushed us to the brink.

It’s not always just a matter of motivation or willpower.

Are you finding that your HbA1c levels are elevated despite being on a low-carb, ketogenic, or even carnivore diet? Recently, my HbA1c test came back at 5.7 (just under the prediabetic range), and I knew something was off; after all, I’ve been following a relatively low-carb lifestyle for years, so there’s no way my blood sugar should be high enough to suggest prediabetes. In consulting with carnivore diet expert and medical doctor Shawn Baker, I learned that healthy red blood cells that live
