He goes against most of what I believe in True health should be enjoyable & natural He’s leading millions astray with global PR and marketing for his supplement business foodlies.substack.com/p/the-most-opt…

Bryan Johnson just publicly revealed that his “perfect” diet helped break his gut He has Autoimmune Gastritis with low ferritin for 11 years This is the guy selling himself as the most optimized human alive Yet his supposedly perfect diet gave him a diet-related disease

We need to stop confusing food processing with junk food manufacturing Humans have processed food for thousands of years: • Grinding • Fermenting • Salting • Drying • Cooking Processing itself isn’t the problem The problem is refined energy added to food

SUPPLEMENTS ARE LARGELY A SCAM They exist because the modern diet is not aligned with our biology If you eat these foods, you won’t need a single supplement

Most people don’t know this, but US vitamin D guidelines are based on a statistical mistake that was pointed out over a decade ago… and almost nothing changed 🤦‍♂️

Imagine thinking banning ads for the foundation of human nutrition is "progress" 🥩 Red meat is one of the only foods in the entire world being advertised that's actually good for you

What a time to be alive We have a group of the population actively avoiding endocrine disrupters And another group trying to boost them

THIS IS OUR FUTURE Unless we change course Learn what to eat and how to live like a human That’s SAPIEN

Making a product plant-based makes it LESS nutritious the majority of the time Yet it’s used as a positive selling point and marketing tool “Plant-based” is a well-funded narrative that’s insanely lucrative

The way forward is simple but not easy. 
It starts with demanding better.
Better meat. Better farming. Better food. 
Healthy soil, thriving ecosystems, and nutrient-dense food all start with regenerative agriculture. 🌾 From industrial farming to full-circle regeneration 🐄 The truth about grass-fed beef & rebuilding soil health 💰 Breaking free from debt, chemicals & Big Ag control 🌎 Can regenerative farming really feed the world? 🌱 Lessons in sustainability, community & legacy from Will Harris & much more on Peak Human Podcast 🎙️

Real food in hospital cafeterias 🧐🤯 I recently met with someone who can actually do this here in Austin Also: 🌾 Regenerative agriculture & real food for the future 🏥 Bringing ancestral nutrition into hospital cafeterias 🦪 The journey of the Oyster Pill & customs chaos & much more with Chris Kruger on the Sapien Podcast 🎙️

After interviewing hundreds of doctors and PhDs over the past eight years, one change has had the biggest positive impact on my life ….though it’s also the most controversial:

Why we need a new food processing classification The US doesn’t have a clear way to define food processing. The best known attempt is the NOVA system but it has big problems. 👉 Ground beef gets treated like flavored yogurt 👉 Biltong or cheese can be lumped in with candy bars if the ingredient list is “too long” 👉 A single additive can push nutrient dense foods into the same bucket as soda That doesn’t help anyone understand real health. My system fixes two big issues: 1️⃣ Traditionally Prepared It gives a rightful place to foods made with time-honored methods that preserve or enhance nutrient density. Sourdough, kimchi, cheese, biltong, canned fish. These are not junk foods. 2️⃣ Refined Energy It shifts the focus to what really matters. The more a food’s calories come from refined starches, oils, and sugars, the worse it is for health. Not a single sweetener. Not an arbitrary ingredient count. After that, foods are separated into 3 tiers: ✔️ Processed: minimal refined energy, few additives ✔️ Highly Processed: moderate refined energy, some additives ✔️ Ultra Processed: dominated by refined starch, sugar, and oil plus industrial additives This matters because foods like fermented vegetables, cheese, or cured meats don’t just belong outside the “junk” category - they often increase nutrient density through fermentation, preservation, or concentration. Recognizing ‘Traditionally Prepared’ protects the foods that have sustained humans for generations and separates them from the modern products that are truly driving chronic disease. Spread this to anyone you know who can make change in food policy & legislation

Powerful event on advancing American freedom with @Mike_Pence and @AmericanFreedom here in Austin Panel with @bgurley @mbrendan1 Put on by @UT_Civitas and Arena Hall #maha

Only surprising to people who never understood human biology or nutrition 🤷‍♂️

Worth a quick read If you understand these 3 things, the backwards world makes more sense foodlies.substack.com/p/the-3-sad-re…

This is trillion dollar question nobody can answer If there was a good answer, maybe we could start turning around the slow motion train wreck we’re experiencing as a world concerning obesity & disease This episode with @tednaiman has the best theory I’ve heard on this topic

I made a free Sapien food guide And redid the Sapien.org site so it’s more clear what Sapien is Sapien is a big concept I’ve been working on for years and I’d appreciate any feedback
