Show Notes
Brian welcomes Ann Bennett, creator behind Simply Unconventional, who started her health journey after hearing a Peak Human episode on seed oils. Ann describes cleaning up her family's diet and home, switching to raw milk and local meat, and seeing colds, stomach bugs, chronic sinus issues, and her sons' severe asthma disappear. That success led her husband to rethink their farm, slowly transitioning from heavy chemical spraying to regenerative practices that helped their crop survive extreme heat and drought.
She shares how, despite doing "everything right," she was still exhausted, irritable, and holding onto stubborn belly fat until Coach Chris Kruger's natural hormone optimization method showed her that going too low carb was part of the problem. Adding back whole-food carbs like potatoes, rice, and sourdough helped both her and her husband finally lose the belly fat. The conversation also covers rancid store-bought pecans, why "eat less, move more" fails women, the limits of conventional blood work, HRT vs. natural optimization, the Beast, Feast, Fast, Sleep framework, and a first look at Brian's upcoming book, The New Theory of Food.
