Today, I am blessed to have Abel James with me for the second time. He is a best-selling author, top 10 app developer, musician, radio show host, entrepreneur, and health crusader, Abel James. Abel’s work has been featured in WIRED Magazine, Paleo Living, and hundreds of media outlets in business, technology, psychology, and health. Within its first year, Abel’s Fat-Burning Man Show rose to the #1 most popular health podcast in the United States and the United Kingdom and went on to top the charts in more than seven countries across the world for the past two years. A former strategic advisor to the food and beverage industry, Abel now acts as a consumer advocate who exposes the truth behind deceptive marketing practices, misleading corporate propaganda, and powerful special interests that have accelerated the worldwide obesity epidemic and health crisis. Abel harnesses the techniques he developed for the Wild Diet to achieve extremely compelling fat loss and health results for his clients and the community. Abel’s quick-start guide, Intro to Paleo and The Musical Brain, are distinguished as #1 Amazon bestsellers in health and psychology. The Musical Brain explores evolutionary biology and how musical training and experience affect the brain. Abel and his team developed Caveman Feast, the #1 App in Food and Drink worldwide and the #6 App overall in the Apple Store in 2013. Abel has advised Fortune 500 and federal government clients, including Microsoft, State Street Global Advisors, Lockheed Martin, the Department of Education, the Department of Labor, and the Library of Congress. In this episode, Abel opens the show by speaking about social media's negative impacts on our health. Instead, we need to focus on falling back in love with the right media types. Then, Abel jumps into keto flexing and the importance of metabolic flexibility. Abel explains why he’s such a massive fan of intermittent fasting, but of course, your feasting days are just as critical. Tune in as we chat about the inspiration behind Wild Superfoods.

[06:05] The Negative Impacts of Social Media on Our Health Once you get started on social media, you will never have enough. Social media is so superficial that it’s challenging to post anything meaningful. Instead, we should be falling in love with the right kind of media. Social media is making people anxious and bummed out. [16:10] If You Want To Grow A Brand, You Need To Have A Podcast If you want to create content for the rest of your life, start a podcast. The problem with podcasting is oversaturation. Eventually, there will be more podcasts than there are listeners. A podcast is something that you own. Whereas your TikTok channel isn’t something that you own. This will be critical as we look toward the future of the decentralization of media. [19:45] How You Can Apply Keto Flexing To Your Life Many people think that going hard is better. However, it’s all about finding balance. If you want to build muscle, then insulin is not your enemy, and neither is glucose. Whether you like it or not, you’ll go back to eating carbs for one reason or another. Being able to store carbs on the shelf is really important. You need to learn how to use and store all the different macronutrients, including carbs. Remember, you can’t eat 350 grams of processed carbs a day and expect to see results. [27:00] Why Abel Loves Intermittent Fasting and How It Helps With Mental Strength Abel loves how simple fasting is. Fasting can mentally and spiritually build strength. There are many ways to approach fasting. Abel got into fasting by pushing breakfast until later in the day. We are taught that the more you eat, the more strength you build. However, Abel had to overcome that type of thinking. Eventually, Abel started eating one meal a day. Abel recommends reading The Warrior Diet: Switch on Your Biological Powerhouse For High Energy, Explosive Strength, and a Leaner, Harder Body: https://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Diet-Biological-Powerhouse-Explosive/dp/1583942009/benazadi-20. [33:35] Why Feasting Is Just As Important As Fasting What we put in our bodies matters. Your eating can result in massive deficiencies or a relative abundance of multiple nutrients. You can approach health in a way that is creative and fun. Feasting is a way to nourish your body in a nutrient-dense way. Try and make feasting as enjoyable and as high-quality as you possibly can. [37:45] Waking Up In The Morning Is A Special Time To Reframe Your Thinking Waking up in the morning is a sacred time. You should protect the brain state right after you wake up. When Abel wakes up in the morning, he practices some self-defense against technology. Give yourself as much time before you jump on your phone, social media, or the news. Write down your dreams when you wake up. This creative process is critical for reframing your day and your mind. [41:55] The Inspiration Behind Wild Superfoods and Their Dietary Supplements Many people aren’t going to go to the store all the time to buy high-quality proteins and high-quality greens. Plus, having something that is shelf-stable in your home is a total game-changer for your health. Also, shelf-stable proteins are great for camping, hiking, and emergencies. That’s one of the many reasons why Abel created Wild Superfoods.
