Episode 500 – Celebrate


It was May 20, 2016. That day that I got a wild hair. I had created a world for myself that was pure misery. I had founded a nonprofit around my passion, but put myself in a role of administrator, not the person delivering the very services I loved providing. There was absolutely no creative outlet. Worse, I was supposed to be a catalyst for change toward the better and was watching the country backslide away from increased freedom to an alarmingly fascist government.

I thought, why not? Why not start a podcast and talk about increasing your ability to live a life you love, to have more stability, to tap into opportunities that others may not see? So I did and I got EIGHTY downloads.

The next day I got 14 and one of them was my mother.

Who knew that five years later, after lots of joy, hardships, slaps in the face, heartbreak, new friendships, and help from all of you — we would reach episode 500.

Today, we celebrate this milestone with content from y’all.

Thank you for making our community so strong, for lifting each other up, and for sticking with me through thick and thin.

Make it a great week!

Episode 495: Proper Diet Q & A With Dr. Ken Berry


Y’all have heard so much about my keto journey and Opportunity October has been good to me along this path. Today, I am honored to welcome Dr. Ken Berry to the show to field questions from y’all. We cover what the proper human diet is, as well as discuss health benefits beyond weight loss.

Lies My Doctor Told Me (Book)

Main content of the show

Meaningful Research + Paleoanthropological Ancestry + Common-Sense…

Unlike most doctors, I love questions and ideas from you…

I used to be a fat, miserable, ignorant doctor, until I slowly discovered the power of removing the slow-poisons of the standard diet, and replacing them with the nourishment of a proper human diet…

I am a Board Certified Family Physician and Fellow in The American Academy of Family Physicians. I have been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade, and have seen over 20,000 patients in my career so far.

No big medical words here, just plain talk you can use to stay healthy and happy. If you like it limp-wristed and sugar-coated then you should probably look somewhere else.

I’ll explain how you can use your diet and your lifestyle to get the health you want. Videos about the low-carb/ketogenic/carnivore diets, intermittent fasting, thyroid health, hormone optimization and much more. I’ve declared all-out war on the epidemics of hyperinsulinemia, diabetes and obesity currently hurting our world, and hurting your health.

Learn how to lose weight, lower your blood sugar, lower your blood pressure, optimize your hormones and more…

Episode 493: Turkey Shelter Lessons Learned with The Tactical Redneck


Today we had a question on our telegram group about turkey shelter. I laughed to myself because we never planned to have turkeys this year, but ended up with 26 to help a friend who had life events come up and get in the way of being able to keep up on food and water! So today, Tactical and I will share what we have learned about turkeys having adopted 26 with no infrastructure in place beforehand!
