    Pregnancy Without The Food Pyramid: Tati Timofeyev's Story

    Most of what we eat, we eat without deciding. Tatiana Timofeyev decided a long time ago, and she can tell you exactly why every choice earns its place on the plate. In this episode of Built Human, Andrew and Jon sit down with nutrition coach Tatiana Timofeyev to get into the decision-making framework behind how she eats, what she took from trading notes with the real-food community at Meatstock, and the conversation she rarely gets to have in public: what real nutrition looks like through pregnancy, when the stakes stop being about you alone. If you've ever eaten something you knew wasn't serving you and couldn't quite say why, this one gets into the why. What we cover: → How Tati actually decides what to eat, and the framework underneath it → What she took away from Meatstock, and the voices shaping the real-food conversation → Nervousness around the stage and speaking, and the reframes that changed it → Pregnancy nutrition most people never hear laid out: protein, heme iron, B12, DHA and EPA, choline, folate, and the honest gap on vitamin C → What she's testing right now, from organ meats to raw dairy to electrolytes → Why the guest's own psychology often isn't most people's, and what to do about that Mentioned in this episode: Mayo Clinic, Pregnancy Nutrition: https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/pregnancy-week-by-week/in-depth/pregnancy-nutrition/art-20045082 British Nutrition Foundation briefing paper, Hart et al., July 2025: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nbu.70016 Follow Built Human at @builthuman for the most thought-provoking moments from the show and the small reminders worth carrying into your week.

    Why The People Building AI Are Setting Tech Boundaries

    Luke Larson, President of Modern.tech, sits down with Andrew and Jon for a grounded conversation on pro-human technology. Where AI is actually going. What fast adoption means for normal jobs. Why some of the people closest to this work are the ones being most careful about how they use it. Three technologists, talking honestly about the tools they help build and the tools they choose not to use. What we cover: → What "pro-human technology" actually means, and what it looks like in practice → Where AI is actually heading, and what it changes day to day → Screen time and sleep, and the data nobody talks about → AI companions and the teen loneliness problem → How three working technologists draw the line at home → What building a company really cost Luke, and what he changed Mentioned in this episode: Zhong et al., screen time and sleep (JAMA Network Open): https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11950897/ OpenAI and MIT Media Lab on AI emotional connection (APA writeup): https://www.apa.org/monitor/2026/01-02/trends-digital-ai-relationships-emotional-connection Follow Built Human at @builthuman for the most thought-provoking moments from the show and the small reminders worth carrying into your week.

    The Health Wake-Up Call Every Founder Needs: Andrew Coca's Story

    Andrew Coca is still in the middle of his story. A pro-human technologist building Animal Base, running Modern.tech, and rebuilding his own health, all at once. In this episode Andrew walks Jon through where he came from, what almost cost him, where he is now, and what it actually looks like to do all three of those at the same time. His story is personal, but it points at something structural. From there, Andrew and Jon turn to research showing only about 14% of packaged foods qualify as "healthy" under the FDA's own updated standard, and what that says about the system most people are trying to be good inside. What we cover: → What "high performance" actually looked like behind the scenes → The symptoms Andrew dismissed for years and what they were really telling him → The moment that forced the change → Where Andrew is now, and what's still hard about doing this alongside the companies → What it looks like to build, train, and pursue health at the same time → What only 14% of packaged food clearing the FDA's own bar actually means → What Andrew would say to another founder running the same playbook Mentioned in this episode: "Only 14% of food qualifies as healthy by the FDA's own standard," published paper (Current Developments in Nutrition): https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2475299125030070 Follow Built Human at @builthuman for the most thought-provoking moments from the show and the small reminders worth carrying into your week.

    The Truth About Modern Health (Nobody Wants to Hear)

    Modern food, modern medicine, and the way we work were built for productivity. Your biology paid the bill. The data has been sitting in plain view the whole time. This is the opening episode of Built Human, the show where Andrew Coca works one question in the open: can we build modern life, the technology and the food and the medicine, without it costing us our health? Andrew is a technologist by trade, and he's spent years watching the systems we're told to trust quietly work against the people inside them. Alongside him is Jon Marchetti, Director of Animal Base, who brings the on-the-ground view. They start with the conversation most health shows avoid: why standard advice keeps failing the people following it most carefully. From there they get into the bigger stories shaping the modern food fight, including the food dye bans rolling out state by state, and what that policy shift looks like at the grocery store. If you've spent years following the rules on food, fitness, sleep, and stress and still feel worse than you did ten years ago, start here. What we cover: → Why standard health advice keeps failing the people following it most carefully → The question at the center of the show: what happens when modern life is built for output and our biology absorbs the cost → What Animal Base is, and how it organizes a real-food life around what you eat, how you live, and how you rest, bringing us back to what was actually built for humans → The latest protein-bar controversy and what it actually reveals → The food dye bans and the risk of relying on policy changes to drive behavioral ones Follow Built Human at @builthuman for the most thought-provoking moments from the show and the small reminders worth carrying into your week.
