1) SAPIEN - The Sapien Diet & Lifestyle - Ancestral Living with Modern Science

Author: Brian Sanders & Chris Kruger August 6, 2019 Duration: 1:03:19

Alright everyone, welcome to our new show! I'm Brian Sanders and we're shooting this live on video from Evolve Healthcare AKA Sapien Medical Headquarters AKA Dr. Gary's medical clinic in Los Angeles. Please also check out the video version of this in the Food Lies youtube channel. If you've arrived here from the Peak Human podcast you'll know of Dr. Gary Shlifer from the recent episode number 48. He was a smash hit and I got tons of great feedback from listeners. Luckily I already have been recording this new show with him as a co-host. 

We're here today with myself, Dr. Gary, and Kristi Storoschuk who's also a member of the Sapien team. You may know Kristi from the Food Lies Instagram or Shawn Baker's Human Performance Outliers podcast. She's our main writer and helper in all things and she also works with Dr. Dom D'Agostino.

If you didn't catch the episode with Dr. Gary he's an internal medicine specialist and a co-founder of Sapien.org with myself and Yaniv Fituci. Yaniv is a Hollywood producer (you could say) and is producing the Food Lies film with me. He'll be joining us in the next episode and as a co-host off and on. 

In this episode we talk about a bunch of things that will help people get going with their health journey and simplify a lot of the conflicting info that's out there. Nutrition is this crazy topic that's so charged with ideals and personal beliefs and all kinds of conflicting interests like big food companies that have your money in mind, not your health, a bunch of misleading science that's been done over the last say 60 years, and a whole lot more. It's no wonder people are so confused about what's healthy these days and western societies have an insane rate of obesity and chronic disease. 

The purpose of this podcast series is to demystify this - give info to people in a simple way that they can incorporate into their life. We're going to go beyond nutrition into all things that make for a healthy lifestyle including mind, body, and spirit. There's so much to health beyond what you eat.

We'll get into the Sapien Diet and Sapien Lifestyle a lot. The Sapien Lifestyle is what happens when you put all these things together. It's how humans can live optimally using ancestral principles and modern science. For more info on Sapien, specifically what foods to eat, and more on what we're doing, go to sapien.org

Thanks everyone, please enjoy the show!

At the heart of SAPIEN Podcast-Optimum Health & Wellness is a conversation between two distinct yet complementary voices: health and nutrition expert Brian Sanders and hormone optimization specialist Chris Kruger. Their dialogue moves beyond generic advice, digging into the interconnected layers of what it truly means to thrive. This means examining not just physical health, but the mental and spiritual components that are so often overlooked. The framework for these discussions is built on ancestral principles-ideas that suggest our modern lives have strayed from the patterns that keep us well. Each episode of this podcast feels like a practical workshop. You’ll hear specific, actionable strategies for improving diet, managing weight, and addressing the root causes of chronic disease. The focus isn't on fleeting trends but on sustainable practices that can be woven into daily life. Alongside Brian and Chris’s insights, they are frequently joined by top guests from various health fields, offering deeper dives into specialized topics. Listening, you get the sense of being part of a larger exploration, one that equips you with the knowledge to not just prevent illness but to actively reverse its course and cultivate a more vibrant, resilient existence. It’s a resource for anyone tired of fragmented health information and seeking a cohesive, principle-based path to living their best life.
