"Pushing a Meatless Society" - Why U.S. Testosterone Levels Are Declining 

This is not an accident, this is being done on purpose.

Love the line about Italy. I live here and yes we eat great food just because the food culture here is about taste and great food, not so much about junk crap. When you grow up developing a palate for natural stuff cooked the right way you will stick to it. We surely do here and have a very high expectations about whomever tries to sell us food, be they supermarkets or restaurants.

I know a guy who is a counselor, and one of the first things he does when someone talks to him about depression is have their testosterone levels checked. He said it would surprise people how often the core issue with depression turns out to be low testosterone levels.

So freakin cool to have CBum on the show!!!

Americans need a whole lifestyle change. Not everything needs to be priced or taxed just to make money. The over inflated market place has created major problems. Americans need to develop a better relationship with food and see the importance of exercise.

The legend himself! CBUM is very smart, hard working and humble.

What an unexpected guest! Big fan of Cris and thank you PBD team !

In the Bible it mentions in the end times their will be deceiving spirits and demons that will tell people not to eat meat. ”forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.“ ‭‭I Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So stoked to see CBum on the podcast. He is just an awesome guy. 👍

This kid has a great head on his shoulders. I have followed him for years now and he has always remained consistent in his mindset and positivity. Chris is a true champion.

I've been carnivore for 3.5 months now. Best health decision of my life. All arthritis pain gone and down 27 pounds (240 to 213 at 6'3") and healthier by the day.

Also our jobs don’t allow us to get Vitamin D, the leading factor in making test. A lot of us have indoor jobs

Great show! A lot of people don't talk about how huge an impact sugar has. Really really bad for you and its in almost every single food you find at the grocery store no matter if it even taste sweet or not. They put it in everything to try and make you addicted to the product. Sugar is super bad for you. Even sugarcane. Natural sugar in fruit in smaller doses is the only thing the body can really handle.

I thrive on meat protein. Grass-fed, pasture-raised, grass-finished beef is great for my system. Some chicken (also pasture raised). Pasture-raised eggs only with awesome orange yolks. Freshly caught fish with scales and fins only. Garlic and onions cooked in butter. Filet's, NY Strip, Ribeye cooked R-MR only. When I was young, I would sneak and grab raw ground beef and eat it, but that was back in the 70's before the beef industry started to get corrupted. At 60, I am only slightly overweight and on zero pharmaceuticals.

I rather eat meat, fruits, and vegetables. But I do think that we need to put a stop to the people that want us all to eat bugs.

I'm from Europe and recently spent a month in Florida. I was SHOCKED at the food in the USA. Hormones and vaccinated meat?! wtf!! It was so difficult to eat a remotely healthy diet. Everything, even the water is essentially poison. I had no idea it was that bad. I can't understand why anyone chooses to live in a country where the food and water is literally killing you. It's just insane to me. I won't be back to USA in a hurry.

Get plenty of sun light which help the body produce hormones

Been eating meat fruit and honey only for about 3 months I am 40 years old Ive lost 30lbs I am now 5'11 215 and can see my abs again I have never felt better in my life

I went primarily vegetarian with some fish. about 3 years ago after a long process of elimination testing where i feel best, both physically and mentally. I would say most important though is cutting out the process foods😝. And if a person eats meat to only do hunted, or locally sorced at best.

this is great guys. great convo right on the money and open discourse.

I started eating single ingredient foods. No processed foods. I lost 50 lbs real fast that was 10 months ago and i havent had any problems keeping the weight off. Im very active also.

I can attest to his take on processed foods and testosterone. I had long Covid so I only started eating 1 ingredient Whole Foods. Basically meat fruit and vegetables and olive oil and avocado oil only. I got tests done every 3 months because of my condition and my testosterone is off the charts and higher than it’s been my whole life. L

I feel so much better the next day eating a steak or salmon the night b4

Chris is amazingly smart and awake ! Supporting this guy all the way

I did a total plant based vegan diet for a year while training crossfit. My test was SUPER LOW, i felt weak etc etc etc. Eat meat!!!

So super foods are the things we ate 60 years ago, before processed foods became the primary diet for so many people.

I respect and admire Chris not for being big or shredded but because he knows the value of hard work and discipline. I aspire to be spiritually strong like him.

Congrats Italy outlawing lab meat !

Awesome having Chris on. From my experience I agree with him, when I cut out all the processed crap and ate grass fed beef and organic fruit I felt great

If you look at those charts, they coincide with the increased use of Plastics in our lives (food preps/food storage, etc) And a huge increase in Processed foods, it's quite clear if you look at what changed in folks' lifestyles and diets.

Saturated fat is the most important fat by a mile. And there are so many important poly and monounsaturated fats too. Superfoods: liver , raw dairy

Very interesting.

Love your show. You talk about all the stuff other shows are avoiding.

fantastic info

I'm a carnivore... I eat only fatty meats, fish, eggs, salt, and butter... no sugar of any sort, no processed food, no carbs (pasta, rice, or bread), no veggies or fruit... healthy as a horse @ 67.

Be a soyboy like me - Trudeau

This is one of the best real talk show.

Great job ❤

Well I eat meat basically every day and this is definitely not going to change for me. Quality unprocessed meat is by far the healthiest food you can eat.

As someone on a Carnivore diet. I feel great, and would never go back to eating vegetables let alone processed CRAP the Food companies want us to eat.

LOL at the pic of Trudy as a thumbnail for thia discussion

I randomly was walking the block in Nashville around my apartment and then I see this huge guy walking towards me with his girl. I didn’t notice anything much at first, but as we passed each other we locked eyes, and it was CBUM!!! I’m not a fitness geek, but I recognized him from motivational video edits you see all the time. I say to him, “Oh dude, you’re the guy!” and he said, “Yup I’m that guy” we had a good laugh and he gave me a fist bump and we continued walking our separate ways. Super cool interaction

I agree, I think all the processed and fast foods the x y and z generations have consumed, and are consuming are making them sick, and also affecting testosterone. Been a vegetarian since 1969 after I returned from Vietnam and lived with some friends who introduced me to vegetarian food. It's a personal choice for me, not health reasons(although a benefit), but because I deeply love animals, and it struck me one day while shopping and seeing the meat in nice packages with saran wrapping, how if I couldn't bring myself to kill and slaughter a living creature, I was a hypocrite for letting someone else do the dirty work. This is my personal experience and not judging what someone else does. I've never been one of those horrible vegetarians who judge meat eaters, that's your choice, as mine is mine. I'm 76, and my VA Doctor is always amazed at my blood work, cholesterol readings, everything is perfect. My testerone is fine, believe me...very healthy and active relations. Stop eating so much processed junk food, limit your visits to fast food, read labels, eat more fresh fruit and veggies. There are a number of plant based vegetarian foods that can supplement your meat diet, so you're not eating it every day, but still enjoying food. We still have fun with our food, I make homemade pizza most weekends. If the government is pushing something such as meatless diets, they have other nefarious reasons for doing it, NOT because they care about your health.

I am actually eating even MORE meat and eggs then ever - pretty sure I could whale on gates or klaus in a cage match!

Most microplastics in nature are not from plastic bottles, so much as washers and dryers, cleaning synthetic fabrics like polyester. The plastics in a water bottle are fairly stable unless they're left out in the sun to degrade from UV damage for a while. Washers dump an insane amount of microplastics into a variety of water supplies. You rub polyester or vinyl against other polyester or vinyl for an hour in the washer, with an agitator ensuring clothes on clothes contact the whole time. Of course you'll end up with microplastics, even with water reducing friction there is still friction rubbing off itty bitty little pieces of synthetic plastic material. If we wanna fix the microplastic problem, eliminating synthetic fabric clothing will be a must. We csn synthesize spider silk now, even adding stuff like graphene to the process to make fabric that is stronger than steel or kevlar. Why don't we ramp up that process to a worldwide megaindustry? Stronger, longer lasting, softer clothing that doesn't add environmental contaminants that are bad for life of all kinds. There's still hemp, flax, cotton, wool, Llama and alpaca etc. Plenty of sources for non synthetic clothing.

Yoooooo this is sick!

I’m an orthodox Christian and we fast on Wednesday and Friday from meat, dairy, eggs and oil. And we do a 40 day fast on nativity and lent up to pascha(Easter) So that’s vegan for over half the year. But we could take it a step further and live life like Adam and Eve eating just raw fruits and vegetables. I had sciatic nerve pain so bad I couldn’t even pick up my newborn so I went raw vegan and it was healed in a week. Not everything is the “globohomo” agenda. Not taking life and requiring blood sacrifice to live for each meal is a selfless and healthy act. And not cooking everything is very healthy too. Raw living food was made by God as an offering to our holy temple, the body. A lot of cooked and fried and sugary foods are basically addictive drugs manufactured by satanic corporations.

Removing 1 testicle at birth is next on the docket.

Stay away from bread and pasta. No sugar, especially processed garbage. Beef,chicken,fish veg for me all day.

Russia banned GMOs what the hell's going on in America that's what we need to be talking about

Woooooh. AWESOME GUEST

If you care about your health, and looking young in earnest, resistance training is no longer an option. Resistance training is one of the greatest health inventions in modern times. Training resistance is one of the great equalizers. You can get away with so much more when training regularly.

Same, I traveled for four months within Europe and Asia. I was eating so many pastries and desserts and was losing weight. Within a month of being back in the states (not eating pastries and desserts) I was gaining weight easily.

Glad to see Chris knows what’s going on and is willing to speak about it

I live in Italy, GMOs are illigal here.

I just got back from Italy. MANY Italians are overweight, but nearly NONE are grossly obese. Unfortunately, SODAS are becoming more and more common with meals [instead of water]. I used to live there for a decade and sodas at mealtimes would've been unthinkable in the past. Fast food is also becoming popular, when it was frowned on previously.

I enjoy the debate about Europeans not being as fat as USA. A lot has to do with daily movement. They walk so much more than us because everything is within walking distance. We have never used a car when visiting Europe because we can walk everywhere and when you do use transportation you get off and continue walking. And yes they tend to eat way better on average.

It’s so challenging trying to find any packaged food that don’t contain soy! it’s almost impossible

Im vegetarian by choice but pushing for a meatless society is dangerous. Even tho im vegetarian i understand that meat has its place in alot(if not most) of people's diet. Alot of vegetarians ''meat'' options in the supermarket are straight poison.

It'll only be a meatless society for the peasants

My worst mistake in life was going vegetarian and vegan for 5 years ages 23-28. My T levels dropped Ssoooooo bad, I’m 33 now and I still can’t pack on the muscle and cut fat like I want to due to my T levels dropping

Sardinia, Italy. Life expectancy of 83 years with some people living till above 100years old. I think this says it all

He is so right about Italy, the exact same thing happened to me

Yep, gotta luv America's low food standards 😂

Lack of resistance training and cardiovascular exercise, eating copious levels of foods that offer zero or near-zero nutritional value (ice cream, sweets, french fries, etc) is screwing the US. The average diet & physical lifestyle in the US is looked upon with disgust in other regions of the world. We're becoming weak (physically and emotionally) and fat.

Part of the reason testosterone keeps getting lower is the introduction of drugs like steroids which boomed during this period. Especially around the 80’s. Then test those same people about 10 years later it makes sense that their testosterone is now lower

Go Ottawa!

If we were adapted to eat plants we would have developed the ability to digest fiber like the apes and unguates and ruminants. We dont have that ability. We adapted to eating animal products for complete nutrition

Please have Paul Saladino on the show!

Single ingredient foods! Thanks 💯

Just been to Italy 2 months ago, had maccas, burger king, pizzas, pasta... I have never earen all that bad food and still felt fantastic before! I wouldn't say you should keep doing it but you do not feel nearly as you do in other countries. I found Croatia, Bosnia, Slovenia, all these countries foods were 100x cleaner.

I agree with CBUM. The food in North America isn’t healthy. I get inflammation. I barely eat unhealthy yet I have excessive weight for no reason. The food on the other side of the world is completely different than it is here

Everyone: eating Whole Foods is the best you can eat On the table: preservative drinks and energy powder on full display

I’m 30 years old, 6’ tall, 198lbs. T level as of a couple weeks ago (274) Wth… Great show btw, Subscribed.

I agree with everything he is saying but all of us have an understanding of strength amongst the mind state. Although his awareness will change society if followed by who follow his word

This is all facts these guys don’t want to fix their cars or learn how to chop wood you know? Cut grass or rake some leaves in the fall. You can’t sleep all day and not work out and play video games i play videos, dirt bike , skate board and the whole nine yards y’all new guys need to get active bro!

I love it. Less competition 🙏🏼🥰 Lost souls😂😂😂

This was never an issue in the 70’s & 80’s

The "yeah, Don't do it," and the deep genuine laugh has me rofl. What a great moment haha well done Chris

Thank you. In my personal experience. I have discovered a few things. I am a 50 year old male. Very active. Very little sex drive. I see a hot chick,and I know how I'm supposed to feel, but there's nothing. So I started fasting. Eat a steak and salad at midnight. Hit the gym in the morning super set squats with dead lifts. After 48 hours, something flicked the switch. My sex drive was like a dog. Fast and eat clean. High intensity lifting is ED cure.

Chris bumstead seems like a great guy for aspiring bodybuilders.

Virginia has lots of mountains - equates to lots of mountain men who farm, hunt and work hard.

Chris spoke a lot of sense!

This is EXACTLY why I travel the country with my RV Brisket. Promoting Farmers, not Pharmers. Superfoods are animal fats and proteins, period. I stopped TRT years ago. My libido is through the roof, my physical is better now than ever, and being a carnivore is the best thing I've ever done.

I'm doing steak and eggs, with an emphasis on the eggs. It's having a mild steroid like effect on me. But I don't juice or take T (and I never plan to). For the scientific case behind it search up Vince Gironda who trained Arnold S., when he was in his bodybuilding prime.

Guy is on point, get rid of the plastic/ plastic water bottles, processed foods, and start moving.

Hey guys im looking for a reliable source for trt and somre quality anavar online been scammed twice. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Video is perfect timing. I had my T levels checked just yesterday and it is 214 😢 28 years old and overweight. I’m nervous and don’t know how to proceed. I am going to incorporate these strategies. Should I also inquire about jumping on T?

As a hired hand on a Nebraska Sandhills ranch, I'm here to say... Eat Beef. Keep Slim.

Cbum is the man, dude gives such wholesome advice. Love this guy.

ty

I lost 15 pounds in Italy in 7 days

This guy in the interview is a prime example

Hey Pat, please try to have Dr Anthony Chaffee on your program. I would love to watch that podcast.

The Bible says in the end days that they are going to require you to not eat meat and only eat herbs (and now I hear they are also going to be certain types of bugs to grind up, add water and other ground up vegetables to eat). This is all predicted in the Bible and it also proves we are entering into the last days. Are you ready to stand before God to be judged? Or are you saved by the blood of Jesus Christ?

Bill Gates now owns “Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar “

You didnt cover the water bottle logo 😬

Recycling centers could be entirely dedicated to glass blowing.

If you know the diets of medieval peasants then you can tell what kind of world they're seeking to make.

I would love to hear them talk about how microplastics are getting into our food and water. I would also like to hear them go a little deeper into what countries have banned what foods and the nutrition levels of them vs us. My opinion, they don't wanna do that cuz it would expose capitalism and make the case for government regulations being good
