Dr. Anthony Gustin is a former chiropractor turned entrepreneur turned farmer. He practiced in the world of sports medicine and performance for years, working with high-profile athletes. He eventually turned his attention to the world of nutrition as he noticed most of his elite-level athletes struggled to maintain a healthy diet. Dr. Gustin ultimately built two companies - Perfect Keto and Equip Foods - to build bridges from poor dietary habits to a life of better nutrition. Since then has transitioned his focus on building a better food system, emphasizing the importance of localized, real food production, and a move away from the current mono-crop agricultural practices. He is now getting his hands dirty building a small farm operation in Texas. In our conversation with Dr. Gustin, we discuss: His path from a doctor to an entrepreneur The importance of nutrition and personal care The perils of monocrop, high input agriculture The need for better functioning, local food economies His experiences starting a small farm and his passion for building a better food systemBRAND AFFILIATESLMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix: LMNT is loaded with the electrolytes you need without the sugar.

The Meat Mafia Podcast is hosted by @MeatMafiaBrett and @MeatMafiaHarry.
We're two guys who walked away from the typical path to carve out something different. Based in Austin, we’re on a mission to figure out what it takes to live a fulfilled life in a world that often pushes us away from meaning.
We have conversations with people we believe can help us, diving deep into the pillars of health, wealth, and faith, as the cornerstones of our mission.
Whether it's challenging the modern food system, questioning conventional health advice, or building something from the ground up, we're here to explore the tough questions and share the lessons we’ve learned along the way.
If you're tired of the noise and ready to find meaning, tune in and join us!
