Vegetarian Festival Drama, Shawn Baker's Bad Advice & MORE! S03E21
In this episode we explore the controversy surrounding Shambala Festival, a long-standing 100% vegetarian event that recently sparked debate by proposing something unexpected: adding “sustainably sourced venison” to its menu. In the second half, we react to Shawn Baker’s advice to his younger self: “Never get fat and never stop training.” We also look at Paul Saladino’s shift from strict carnivore to including fruit and carbohydrates, and what that says about evolving ideas in nutrition, metabolic health, and scientific humility.

Keto vs Blue Zones | Influencers: Leaving Veganism | Michaela Peterson: No Longer Carnivore S03E19
In this episode, we tackle the extremes of diet culture, the quest for longevity, and why hardcore food labels might be a thing of the past. Topics covered in this episode: The Longevity Debate (Buettner vs. Asprey): We break down the fascinating clash between two men who claim to have the answers to living to 100. Is the secret in beans, whole foods, and community, or is it in meat, supplements, and biohacking? The Vegan Exodus: Why are major influencers walking away from the “vegan” label to rebrand as “plant-based”? We look at the strategy, the community reactions, and the debate around “imperfect vegans.” Dropping the Carnivore Diet: Michaela Peterson shares two major updates—she is no longer strictly carnivore, and she is helping launch a massive, crowdfunded randomized clinical study on the diet.

Carnivore Drama, Is Beyond Meat Over? PLUS Nutrition Extremes S03E17
Nutrition advice has never been louder or more polarized. From carnivore-only diets to sugar-only extremes, confident claims often race ahead of the science. In this episode, we explore three stories shaping today’s nutrition debate. First, we unpack insights from a Mayo Clinic–trained physician, clinical nutrition expert, and stage 4 cancer survivor, who explains why food is medicine and why plant-forward eating and moderation continue to outperform nutrition fads. We then look at the business and media landscape around plant-based food, including the collapse of Beyond Meat’s share price, comments from CEO Ethan Brown, and claims from an industry insider paid to spread anti-vegan messaging online. We also examine the science comparing meat and plant-based alternatives, including the Stanford “Swap Meat” study. Finally, we examine the rise of the carnivore diet online, driven by influencer anecdotes, and why medical experts are pushing back as concerns grow about long-term health risks and misinformation.

BEST Vegan Films, The Protein Debate & Are Carnivore Influencers OVER? S03E16
In this episode, we bring together three powerful conversations. We look at the rise and cracks in the carnivore influencer movement, including recent controversies around Steak & Butter Gal. We then unpack The Great Protein Debate between Dr. Neal Barnard and Dr. Matthew Nagra, breaking down what the latest research actually says about plant vs. animal protein, muscle, and health outcomes. Finally, we reflect on the vegan and plant-based documentaries that have shaped millions of people’s thinking over the last decade – from Cowspiracy and What the Health to The Game Changers, Seaspiracy, The Twin Experiment, and beyond – and how storytelling can change behavior in a way facts alone often can’t.

Fasting, Protein Myths, and the Rise & Fall of Veganism S03E15

Then we tackle the heated debate over protein, with Stanford professor Dr. Christopher Gardner dismantling myths about amino acids and plant protein “quality.” Finally, we unpack the backlash against veganism: falling sales at Beyond Meat, processed food criticism, and whether the movement has lost its health halo.

Seed Oils, Lizzo, and the 75-Year-Old Vegan Who Puts Us All to Shame S03E13
In this episode, we dive into three hot conversations rocking the plant-based world. First, we tackle the seed oil panic, are they really toxic, or is it just the latest scapegoat? Dr. Matthew Nagra joins Rich Roll to separate facts from fear. Then, we unpack Lizzo’s controversial claims about quitting veganism, needing animal protein, and blaming fake meat for fatigue. And finally, we celebrate the unstoppable Chef Babette, the 75-year-old raw-food powerhouse showing the world what aging on plants can really look like. This episode is part science, part culture critique, and part inspiration, with one unifying message: don’t believe everything you’re told about food.
