What you'll learn from this episode:

  • How paleo and vegan diets, usually at odds with one another, combine to form the "pegan" diet.

  • Why it's more important to focus on what you're eating than how much you're eating.

  • Why weight loss shouldn't be the focus of any diet, but a desirable by-product of a healthy, sustainable diet.

  • What symbiotic phytoadaptation is and how it boosts detoxification and decreases inflammation.

  • How the diminishing quality of the soil that grows our food contributes to numerous health deficiencies.

  • And so much more!
