The Meat Mafia Podcast

Cynthia Thurlow is a renowned health expert with a background as a nurse practitioner and nutritionist. Her story became well-known through a famous Ted Talk she gave about intermittent fasting, where she explained the principles and benefits of fasting as a tool for better health. The talk has over 14 million views on YouTube and became one of the most widely shared videos on the power of fasting. Cynthia became well-known for her perspective on fasting, however, her own personal story is remarkable. She went from a near-death experience with a ruptured appendix to thriving on stage at her Ted Talk. In our conversation with Cynthia, we discussed: 
  • Is fasting the same for men and women?
  • The benefit of fasting for better health
  • Why do we need saturated fat?
  • Recovering from a near-death experience
  • Strategies to make habits stick

What is The Meat Mafia Podcast?

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!
