Dr. Anthony Gustin is the founder and CEO of Perfect Keto & Equip Foods, host of The Natural State Podcast, and author of the bestselling Keto Answers. He's a former sports rehab clinician turned entrepreneur, trained in functional medicine, and has ordered labs and set treatment plans for hundreds of patients. 

Today, his drive is to help people keep health simple through fixing their environment in the areas that matter: nutrition, movement, stress, and sleep. His message is clear: when you fix your environment, you fix your health. 

This was supposed to be an exclusively keto-themed episode with keto entrepreneur and pioneer Dr. Anthony Gustin. Yet, we found ourselves going off-road... to Tanzania to be exact – and unpacking his wildly transformative experience with one of the last hunter-gatherer communities in the world. Prepare to flip any Western beliefs you held dearly on their heads, as you’ll learn how this soon-to-be-extinct primitive community thrives off dirt, baboon brains, and gender-separated communities. Plus: how they navigate life, and the inevitability of death, without the superficial obsession for longevity. 

You’ll also have the opportunity to quench your keto curiosity with a deep dive into ketosis and how it works. If you thought you were clued up on the subject, prepare to be floored by Anthony’s theories on the real diet devils out there (no, it’s not carbs or fruit), and why pretty much dining out in any restaurant is a microbiome disaster waiting to happen.
