Many years ago, I interviewed vegan endurance athlete Tim Van Orden. Today, I sit down with him again — and this time, he’s added over 40 pounds of muscle while staying fully vegan! 💪🌱

We discuss:
His updated vegan lifestyle
How he gets enough plant-based protein
Why he’s never felt better
And the long-term mindset behind vegan fitness and health

Tim has evolved, learned, and rebuilt his body naturally — and his message is powerful for anyone interested in high-performance plant-based living.

Jeff says:

Dr. Brooke Goldner recently went on Chef AJ’s channel and framed critics as “ego‑driven” and “not curious.” But is questioning extraordinary claims really ego — or is it how science works?

In this video, I break down:

Why her “results” are testimonials, not clinical evidence
The bold claim that unlimited flax oil leads to weight loss — and what research actually says
The rumor about Goldner’s program “beating” water fasting at TrueNorth — and why it falls apart under scrutiny
The overlooked role of psychological support in her $6,000 program

If you’ve seen Goldner’s interview (or heard her claims), this video will give you the context — and the receipts. Stay curious — and evidence‑based.

This Harvard study shows that red meat is WORSE for your health than ultra-processed food. Chris interviews one of the authors, Dr. Fenglei Wang, to find out more.

[Ed: Clearly there are issues w/ this study and/or the interview. How do they define starches? Why are potatoes considered refined? Are they suggesting the potatoes are processed before consuming? How do they classify sweet potatoes? Click on video to read viewer comments on youtube.]
