In this 252nd in a series of live discussions with Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying (both PhDs in Biology), we talk about the state of the world through an evolutionary lens.
In this week’s episode, we start with corrections from last livestream, and a bit more about seed oils. Then: dry fasting. What are the cultural and biological precedents for abstaining from all food and drink for hours or days at a time? What religious traditions include dry fasting? Are their health benefits? What are autophagy, and metabolic water, and what do kangaroo rats and camels have to teach us? We tell our personal story of just having done a seven day dry fast, and remind Americans that, as a country, we just voted to Make America Healthy Again. Your health is in your hands, not those of the “experts.”

Forrest Maready is the author of “The Moth in the Iron Lung”, among other books. It tells a very different story of the Polio epidemic than the one you are likely familiar with, a story with radically different implications for health and medicine. Bret talks with Forest about his book and his interpretation of the evidence with an evolutionary bent to the conversation.

In September of 2023, Bret issued a challenge to Vaccine proponents to explain why he was wrong about the danger from the Covid mRNA transfusions within this podcast: https://youtu.be/7C7Q9UF3PRE
Shortly thereafter, Dr. Dan Wilson gathered 3 experts to answer Bret’s challenge in this video: https://youtu.be/OUiM3sQuswE?si=ZFoLpyauXrtaFi7K
This podcast with Joomi Kim and Bret Swanson is the response to Dan’s video.
