If we were to examine all of the things that cause sickness, illness, even if you break it down further: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia—all of the health problems that are really plaguing modern societies... the number one culprit is food.

You can eat a healthy diet that's vegan, but I also want to be very clear that it takes much more planning to do that than it would to eat a healthy omnivore diet

If you look at studies across the board, the single most black and white thing you can do to reduce your risk of cancer is to incorporate regular long fasts

Speaking about hormones, there isn't one single thing aside from taking testosterone... a man can do that won't have as strong or as direct of a positive effect on their testosterone like resistance training ... You can compare it against anything else ... Nothing causes a direct strong effect on testosterone as much as lifting weights.

You have to somehow create some sort of a caloric deficit in order to lose body fat

What's best for the environment is what's best for our health. Healthy humans are what's going to be good for the environment because healthy humans make better decisions, they need less medicine, they're more productive, they're more efficient, and lead more meaningful lives.

I'm interested in the 98 percent, the average person who doesn't have the education, who doesn't have the understanding, but wants to make healthier choices. They're hearing this propaganda that the vegan diet is a healthier choice and that's just flat-out bullshit.

Can humans survive eating just meat? Yes. Is it ideal? I 100% say no. I don't think the carnivore diet is a great diet for people.

Processed foods encourage more food consumption. Fat people are sicker, require more medication, are less productive, and are generally worse for the environment. Unhealthy people are just generally worse for the world.

As far as health is concerned, there's no compelling evidence to show that eating a vegan diet is healthier than eating a healthy omnivore diet. In fact, the evidence is to the contrary. A healthy omnivore diet is going to give you more of the essential nutrients that you need.

In order to transcend your programming, you have to become aware of it. And the choice that you have when it comes to happiness in life is between becoming aware of your mental afflictions or the discomfort of becoming ruled by them.

If you think that social media at the moment is bad, wait until almost all of it is not only driven to you by algorithms that know exactly what to give you but it's written by algorithms that know exactly what to say. Within the next 10 years, over 90% of content that's produced on the Internet won't be even made by humans.

If you eat lots of ultra-processed foods, regardless of how aware you are about your health, it will push you to want to overeat

At the end of the day, the reason why people like diets is because diets give us parameters. The more basic a diet is, or the the clear the parameters are, the more people tend to get drawn to it.

If there's one piece of advice that I could give someone... just avoid heavily processed foods because they make you want to eat more

Create barriers between you and ultra-processed foods and eliminate barriers between you and healthy foods

Permanent fat loss comes from permanent behavioral changes and permanent behavioral changes take time

Cardio is not best for burning fat. I think weight training is best for burning fat and then you use cardio for the overall health benefits.

Let your metabolism do the calorie burning for, do cardio for the health benefits, and boost your metabolism with resistance training

Every social movement, without a clearly defined finish line, ultimately ends up becoming what it set out to fight against.
