What you'll learn from this episode:

  • There are three types of foods that everyone should avoid eating: seed oils, grains, and fake meat. However, black seed oil, cold-pressed flax oil, and borage oil are some examples of seed oils that may be beneficial in specific contexts, and white rice is an exception because it is deficient in phytic acid and other anti-nutrients.

  • The three top factors causing us all to be deficient in minerals are soil mismanagement, overconsumption of mineral-blocking anti-nutrients in plant foods, and large amounts of mineral-binding glyphosate (a toxic pesticide that seeps into soil).

  • Why supplementation is required in today’s toxic world, and the supplements required to thrive: fat-soluble vitamins D, A, K, E, and the macro-minerals potassium, sodium, magnesium, and zinc (be aware of balancing zinc with copper). Dave also recommends a trace mineral supplement. 

  • Why laziness is a sacred, life-preserving mechanism, and how to tap into a super-force for motivation by acknowledging your energy savings and harnessing the power of slope of the curve biology hack by learning to quickly turn stressors on and quickly turn them off!

  • The three levels of spiritual growth that people experience: empathy, compassion, and equanimity—and how this highest level of spirituality is only achievable in physically and mentally healthy people. 

  • And much more!
