Raised mostly vegetarian and later committing fully to a vegan diet for spiritual reasons, our guest shares how his health slowly declined — from low energy and joint pain to feeling mentally ungrounded. Despite strong beliefs and cultural conditioning, his body began sending clear signals that something wasn’t right. After fasting, intense cravings, and even dreaming about meat, he made a decision that challenged everything he had been taught. The result? Improved clarity, strength, grounding, and a renewed understanding of what works for his body. This conversation dives into: • Growing up vegetarian and struggling with weight • The link between spirituality and food choices • Cultural conditioning around meat and purity • Anthropology, biology, and human nutrition • Why listening to your body matters more than dogma This is not about ideology — it’s about curiosity, self-experimentation, and reclaiming personal health.

We also dive into: The truth about GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy Why the “calories in vs calories out” model is broken How ultra-processed foods destroy metabolic health The real root causes of obesity, diabetes, and inflammation And how light, sleep, and movement play a bigger role than most pills ever could.
