b"Welcome to the Emergent Human, with Michael Ostrolenk where we explore optimizing health, embodied spirituality, and post-conventional living.\\n\\nToday\\u2019s guest is Ryan Frisinger, an interdisciplinary specialist operating at the intersections of medicine, consciousness and culture.\\n\\nOstrolenk and Frisinger discuss the complex relationship of humans and animals, including the ownership of animals and the ethics of eating meat. Frisinger details the complexity of meat consumption, including the importance of animal protein in human diets, the ways in which killing animals has evolved in the modern world, and how we can feed the large number of people who live on this earth. \\n\\nFrisinger encourages listeners to use higher levels of consciousness to entertain the idea that our pets have a complex emotional life that cannot be fully understood by humans. This can assist in humans endeavor to walk a fine line between being caretakers and allies while understanding there is limited room on earth for all animals to roam free. Lastly, Frisinger offers that humans can consider how our own reproduction affects other species.\\n\\nFrisinger recommends a few actions humans can take to foster a loving relationship and support their animals: \\n- Look at your animals diet and consider the value of raw foods\\n- Recognizing your animal's environment and what they love to explore\\n- Appreciate your animal's space and try to learn their needs\\n\\nTo learn more about Ryan Frisinger, visit his website (https://kosmicanimal.com/) and visit his health center (https://xenogenesis.co/about-us/).\\n\\nResources from today\\u2019s show\\n\\xb7 Longevity Summit: Ostrolenk speaks about The Longevity Summit https://www.thelongevitysummit.com/registration?fbclid=IwAR1xvRSgvcL7xDUbc-iGr26NfeBAIV_a3iCcaoJ7zZO2SWtn8kN6nDD1nwY\\n\\xb7 The Spell of the Sensuous https://www.amazon.com/Spell-Sensuous-Perception-Language-More-Than-Human/dp/0679776397\\n\\xb7 The Omnivores Dilemma https://www.amazon.com/Omnivores-Dilemma-Natural-History-Meals/dp/01430385\\n\\xb7 The Sexual Politics of Meat https://caroljadams.com/spom-the-book\\n\\xb7 The Banality of Evil https://www.amazon.com/Banality-Evil-Hannah-Arendt-Solution/dp/0847692108\\n\\xb7 Books by Derrick Jensen https://derrickjensen.org/\\n\\xb7 The Animal that Therefore I am https://www.amazon.com/Animal-Therefore-Perspectives-Continental-Philosophy/dp/082322791X\\n\\n\\nToday\\u2019s show was brought to you by:\\n\\xb7 Cosper Scafidi, an amazing body worker in the northern Virginia area.
