Back To Biology, Metabolic Health, and Our Ego with The Holistic Savage, Brendan Vermeire
Brian is a Functional Medicine Educator and CEO of Metabolic Solutions Institute where he teaches that the best medicine is teaching people how not to need it.
We dive into some biology, some issues with Big Pharma, some existential crises, and a bit of what you can do in your own life to live a little more like we were BUILT TO LIVE.
Brian is one of those intellectuals who calls humans microbes, but somehow he does it in a way that is approachable and digestible.
“We are so in our minds, we have lost our senses”
Humans are pretty far from the way we were intended to live. Technology, our pace of life, our diets, and our quick fix solutions have broken down some of the integral portions of what it means to live fully. On this show, we talk about how far we have come and what it would look like to live more symbiotically with our environment!
METABOLIC HEALTH
-what keeps us from true metabolic health?
-what role does medicine have in our metabolic health?
-what role does TECHNOLOGY and SELFISHNESS have in our metabolic health?
EGO & SELF DEVELOPMENT 22:20
Our ego keeps us self interested, keeps us safe in an energy scarce environment, but in our culture of abundance keeps us from growing.
The self love culture keeps us self obsessed.
Self love vs self respect.
Humans need a self of purpose to be healthy
We can’t show love or empathy if there is none to be found in our own thoughts
Brian answers what REALISTICALLY he has built in his own environment to make sure that allows him to nourish his mind, body, and soul.
(And Brian’s realistic may not be yours!) So we go into what building yours would look like, too!
