Summary: Steven Bennett is a serial entrepreneur, founder of Primal Living health products, and author of several books including Fat And Furious. We catch up with Steve after our first interview in Episode 4 of Enduring Health to find out what’s new, and talk about his latest book and podcast “Fat And Furious” devoted to supporting optimal health through natural means. KEY TAKEAWAYS Fat And Furious is a collaborative effort between Steve and numerous medical contributors, with the format seeing Steve asking questions of how to improve certain facets of his health, and the doctors giving multiple answers, so as to provide a real depth of knowledge. We should be eating the foods that our bodies were designed to eat. We should be moving and exercising in a consistent way with our body’s design. We can achieve optimal conditions for our bodies using the LEON method: L - Lifestyle - Ensuring we get enough sleep, rest, exercise. E - Environment - Reducing the amount of toxicity in our everyday surroundings. ON - Optimal Nutrition - Ensuring that our dietary intake is designed in accordance with our body’s natural needs. Science evolves at a breakneck speed. Findings that are accepted today may be outdated and refuted within a few years. As students of science, we must always be prepared to have our expectations confounded as more information is known. Incredibly, life expectancy has begun to fall. Subsequent generations are expected to live for ten years less than us. Steve credits this to a large-scale deception by big corporations. We have over 40 trillion human cells in our bodies, and each one has a cell membrane comprised of fatty acids that we cannot produce on our own. We need fats in order to exist. In order to save the human race, companies will have to change the root of what drives them. At present it’s money, but this is ultimately unsustainable. Consumers will eventually drive the key factors behind company growth. Ethical factors will be a selling point that soon becomes harder to ignore. Steve advocates a vegan and vegetarian diet, but only for the right reasons. If you choose to eat that way because of animal cruelty, then you are to be praised. If you are doing it because you believe that it will save the planet, he believes this to be wrong.
