The "Perfect Day" Experiment and Longevity Myths with Brian Sanders

Eating Raw Liver with Tribes in Tanzania and Other Adventures

What would your perfect day look like if money were no object, and what's actually stopping you from living closer to it right now?

We’re here with my good buddy, Brian Sanders, a mechanical engineer, host of the Peak Human podcast, creator of the upcoming documentary series Food Lies, and founder of Sapien.org. Brian has done field work and then some, from eating raw liver with hunter-gatherer tribes in Tanzania to interviewing PhDs who are rewriting what we know about human longevity.

We recorded this conversation live from the Montana wilderness beside a babbling river, surrounded by beautiful mountain vistas. Bugs weren’t even bad. Soak it in, we hope you enjoy.

In this episode, we’ll dig into:

  • Why meat isn’t the enemy (and how it might actually be key to solving obesity)

  • The “nutrient-to-energy“ ratio that explains why most diets fail

  • Surprising things the Hadza tribe can teach us about longevity

  • Brian’s “Hard 30” workout that builds lean muscle in just one hour per week

  • A thought experiment to build your perfect day

  • And much more...
