Description

Jillian Michaels is a health fitness expert, podcaster, and bestselling author best known for her role on The Biggest Loser. But more than all that, she is an independent woman who has strong opinions on a wide array of topics—from the California wildfires and their mismanagement to all that’s wrong with the American diet and how we can fix it. After talking with her for five minutes, you feel like you’ve known her forever. She’s thoughtful, curious, and not afraid to stand up for what she believes in. Take a look and I’ll bet you’ll agree. #podcast #health #usa More from Jillian Michaels: https://www.jillianmichaels.com A special thanks to: American Giant—Get your Fourth of July Tee that's actually made in America.

Dang Mike, this was an amazing conversation. I am an intellectual with two engineering degrees. For most of my life I believed there is a "correct" answer and that experts tell me what it is. But the older I get, the less I think I (or humanity) know. Moreover, I don't know who to believe about so many of the things you discussed (Covid, keto, climate, etc). The longer this goes on, the more I despair of ever knowing anything for sure. It was great to hear two smart people discuss and struggle with this very phenomenon. Great job! More please!

When anyone says " we Know for a fact " you need to question that person.

Love, love this conversation. Mike is laying down some serious positions here. We got too many “experts” that are all saying different things. I agree w/Jillian here that you should be open to being pointed in a better direction too when actual facts and/or common sense are in play. Even MAHA…why? We don’t need a left/right prescription, we just need common sense and that doesn’t require a cool acronym. Just educate yourself and question everything that impacts you. Good vibes here.

All one has to do is look at how we have been mislead for the last 50 plus years regarding our health and nutrition. It is astounding to me and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Money, power and greed runs supreme over this planet, has for thousands of years and continues today. And for what? We will leave this planet the same way we arrived here, alone and with nothing because we are only here to learn. Don’t sacrifice your eternal soul for something that isn’t even real. ❤

First step is changing our food. All the processed food we eat is not designed to enrich our bodies, it’s meant to reward our brains and make us crave more. It was done to boost sales and profits, not be nutritionally beneficial

It’s an absolute shame that in the country of free speech a platform like YouTube has such absurd rules that facts can’t be spoken without having to camouflage them in order to avoid having them censored.
