Dr. Mark Hyman

Today on the podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Jonathan Konefsky.

He is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Los Angeles and a data scientist who advises Google and Neuralink.

He is a leading voice in the treatment of breast implant illness, pioneering a transformative framework he calls surgery as ceremony.

More and more research is coming out on the importance of maintaining muscle as we age.

And muscle is essential for longevity, metabolism, and healthy aging.

In fact, in my January conversation with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, we took a deep dive into this topic, highlighting the importance of prioritizing high-quality bioavailable protein.

But not all protein is created equal.

And one of the most nutrient-dense sources I've found is wild venison.

These wild axis deer roam and graze freely in Hawaii on nearly 200 different plants growing in volcanic soil, which produces meat that's incredibly rich in nutrients, truly embodying food as medicine in its purest form.

And what matters isn't just about the grams of protein, it's what your body can actually absorb and use.

Venison is naturally high in bioavailable heme iron, B12, zinc, and complete amino acids, including leucine, which helps trigger muscle protein synthesis.

It's also naturally lean and incredibly pure.

And if you're like me, you want to avoid a lot of the things that show up in typical snack foods like seed oils, soy protein isolates, added sugars, and artificial ingredients.

This is why I've been incorporating Maui Nui's Wild Venison Jerky Sticks into my routine, whether it's after a workout, on a busy day of travel, or even on weekends when I want something quick but nutrient-dense on the go.

They are made with just three simple ingredients, wild venison, water, and spices.

And it's not just great for me.

Active kids, athletes, and parents all benefit from real nutrient-dense protein like this.

Right now, Maui Nui is offering my listeners a free six pack of their venison jerky sticks with your first order.
