The "Perfect Day" Experiment and Longevity Myths with Brian Sanders

Why does Big Food want you to believe that meat is killing you?

How exactly did red meat, saturated fat, and cholesterol become public enemies?

Today's guest spent nine years digging into these questions and more, traveling the world, eating alongside hunter-gatherer tribes, and uncovering the economics behind why special interests need you to keep believing meat is the problem.

We're here with my good buddy, Brian Sanders, a mechanical engineer, host of the Peak Human podcast, creator of the upcoming documentary series Food Lies, and founder of Sapien.org. Brian has done field work and then some, from eating raw liver with hunter-gatherer tribes in Tanzania to interviewing PhDs who are rewriting what we know about human longevity.

We recorded this conversation live from the Montana wilderness beside a babbling river, surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. Bugs weren't even bad. Soak it in, we hope you enjoy.
