Customer Reviews
Great Show, Peter!
I love the show Peter! There is so much theory in the podcast world, but I really enjoy the practicality as it gives some real world, applicable knowledge. Keep ‘em coming.
Vegan Ideology
Peter might consider interviewing former vegans who had to give up the diet due to health concerns including in many cases cognitive decline. A vegan diet does not work for everyone. And if a diet is causing health issues, especially cognitive decline, then obviously it does not make for a productive person, which is purportedly the subject of this podcast. Also, to counter some misinformation brought forth from a guest: Not all beef gets it’s B12 from supplementation. A grass-fed cow raised on a regenerative farm gets its B12 from the soil which inevitably gets into the cow’s stomach when it eats the grass. I personally have tried vegetarianism once, vegan once, and then just reducing meat intake. Every time I experienced cognitive decline. So this podcast really just does not speak to me.
Super insightful and well-made podcast
This is great stuff. Peter really knows what he’s talking about and is a great interviewer. Highly recommend!
