In the second part of this mind-blowing 2 part episode with Dr Jonathan Reisman, the ER doctor with a unique perspective of the interplay between health, diet, culture and nature, we take a deeper dive into AI’s potential revolution of healthcare and personalized medicine.
Dr. Jonathan Reisman is heavily influenced by his love of travel and nature. He doesn’t shy away from the unsettling aspects of life, and he approaches it all with reverence and curiosity. He’s also the author of The Unseen Body, a fascinating book I highly recommend.
In this episode we look at AI’s potential to revolutionize healthcare, the complexity doctors face diagnosing and delivering life changing news to patients and what was found in the stomach of an ancient 5 year old girl that’s inspiring his next book..
Unique Perspectives from Jonathan:
“A doctor’s decision making is warped and shaped by the worst things they’ve seen.”
“Like everything in medicine, do the benefits outweigh the risks, and nothing is risk free.”
“I’m very hesitant to apply causality when it comes to health and nutrition and lifestyle just because I feel like there’s so much that we don’t know and I wish doctor’s were tired of embarrassing themselves by declaring the truth and then seeing it overturned 20 years later.”

When it comes to figuring out what an optimal diet and lifestyle is for you, it becomes evident that our approach to what is optimal for each of us is radically different, which means we have to let go of the notion that any specific diet is better than the other.
Dr. Jonathan Reisman is not your average ER doctor. He has one of the most unique perspectives on health, diet, and human anatomy influenced by his love of travel and nature. He doesn’t shy away from the unsettling aspects of life, but approaches it all with reverence and curiosity. He’s also the author of The Unseen Body, a fascinating book I highly recommend.
“I’m very skeptical about what doctors have to say about nutrition.” -Jonathan Reisman
In the first part of this 2 part episode, we get deep in the weeds of the ongoing debate between carnivores and vegans. Is one diet better than the other for our optimal health, or is your gut and environment the best indication of what’s best for you?
Unique Perspectives from Jonathan:
“The adaptability of the gastrointestinal tract is important, [...] our gastrointestinal tract does not look like a pure carnivore’s tract, it also doesn't look like a pure herbivore’s tract, so I think we are probably meant to be omnivores.”
“Variability is a really important thing.”
“Nutritional science through headlines is a very bad way to understand what’s good and what’s bad for us.”

Raoul Pal has become a legend in global economics as one of the most successful former hedge fund managers, and one of the most brilliant thought leaders that thoroughly understands how to navigate and explain the complexities of the global financial markets.
I hope you’re ready for this 2 part conversation with Raoul Pal breaking down the potential financial crisis we’ll potentially face over the next 20 years. We go deep in part 1 discussing the impact of the debt cycle and hyperinflation and managing your future risks to safeguard you and your loved ones.
“By every indicator I've got, we're in a recession already and it will become more abundantly clear.” -Raoul Pal
This is not a matter that can be taken lightly. Facing these difficult conversations head on is a must to stay informed and prepared to take necessary action.
Raoul’s Insights:
“That was the death of the American dream that happened. The American dream was you participate in the US economy, you get richer, the reality is it didn't happen.”
“There is an understanding that the world is too much in debt and there's no way of dealing with this without us all going back into caveman times. So this is the answer.”
