This was supposed to be an exclusively keto-themed episode with keto entrepreneur and pioneer Dr. Anthony Gustin. Yet, we found ourselves going off-road... to Tanzania to be exact – and unpacking his wildly transformative experience with one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in the world. Prepare to flip any Western beliefs you held dearly on their heads, as you’ll learn how this soon-to-be-extinct primitive community thrives off dirt, baboon brains, and gender-separated communities. Plus: how they navigate life, and the inevitability of death, without the superficial obsession for longevity. You’ll also have the opportunity to quench your keto curiosity with a deep dive into ketosis and how it works. If you thought you were clued up on the subject, prepare to be floored by Anthony’s theories on the real diet devils out there (no, it’s not carbs or fruit), and why pretty much dining out in any restaurant is a microbiome disaster waiting to happen. While we’re on the subject, Perfect Keto is a great place to take your keto practice to the next level.
