Peak Human - Unbiased Nutrition Info for Optimum Health, Fitness & Living


Jul 11, 2019

Hey Hey welcome back. Thanks for listening and thanks for all the kind words about this podcast. I get tons of messages and emails weekly and the stories of change are inspiring. It helps to keep me going and put in the work to find amazing experts and put out a good show.

Today we have Alyse Parker who used to go by Raw Alignment. She had a huge vegan following of over 750,000 subscribers on youtube and hundreds of thousands on Instagram. She did different plant based diets over the course of about 4 years including raw vegan and ended up with some terrible health conditions. I won’t give up too much, but she’s now eating almost completely animal foods. It’s an interesting story and I hope you enjoy it! SHe’s a great person and I’m looking forward to a meat up we’ll be having in San Diego on July 24th with her and Paul Saladino. I’ll announce that soon so people can RSVP.

We have 2 Meat-Ups in Toronto coming up. One this Saturday at the world famous Speducci Mercatto with North America’s only meat sommelier. Mikhaila Peterson, Tara Couture (who’s @slowdownfarmstead on Instagram - my favorite account ever), and Bryan Gilvesy a sustainable farmer and speaker will be there as our guests of honor. They’ll all be saying a few words and hanging out and eating the all you can eat delicious meat and some wine. We’ll have the Food Lies team there as well so grab a ticket on http://NoseToTail.org/event

We also have a free Meat-Up at The Simple Kitchen Friday JUly 19th. We’ll have grass fed burgers and other paleo/keto/sapien options there for purchase as well as wine and beer. RSVP at the same place http://NoseToTail.org/event

And last, but not least we have my grass finished meat company Nose To Tail. Don’t need to talk about this because Alyse made her own advertisement at the end. We never talked about this beforehand, I promise. So here it is, the wonderful reformed vegan celebrity, Alyse Parker.
