A single green double-breasted suit turned into a career-defining moment that launched his brand. 🧠 Redefining humilityThrash challenges the idea that humility means downplaying your success.

    What You Eat Changes Everything w/ Troy Blyden
    Dec 15 2025
    In this episode of Sweet Talk, Fionna and Taelyr sit down with Troy Blyden—former Harlem Globetrotters athlete turned holistic coach—about the real (and surprisingly human) bridge between performance and wellness. Troy shares how touring the world shaped his discipline, why his “one-ingredient foods” philosophy became a game-changer, and how conscious consumption goes way beyond what’s on your plate. From curating your algorithm to building consistency without gimmicks, this conversation is equal parts hilarious, grounded, and genuinely motivating. 🥗 One-ingredient foods = better mood. Troy’s core philosophy is simple: whole foods can shift your energy, mindset, and performance—fast.🏀 The Harlem Globetrotters are entertainment and real hoopers. Troy breaks down the showmanship, pride, competition, and what it’s like being “paid to lose” on the opposing side.🧠 Conscious consumption is a lifestyle, not a diet. Food, media, and relationships all feed your nervous system—so alignment matters across the board.📲 Curate your algorithm like you curate your life. Troy shares how to train your feed toward what you want (and how “Not interested” is self-care).🔥 Hot take: most people do better with some animal protein. Troy explains why he reintroduced it after plateauing—and how “optimal” looks different for everyone. ✈️ Travel without compromising. Eat before the airport, bring fruit/seeds, scope restaurants ahead, and (yes) Troy drops his “medical water” hack. Troy’s journey: Washington Generals → Harlem Globetrotters → world travel and performance discipline The moment holistic health “clicked” and changed how he ate, trained, and lived Posting online through fear of judgment—and what happened when he committed publicly His skincare routine + why cutting processed sugar changed his glow Intermittent fasting, two-meals-a-day rhythm, and “listening to your body” as the real flex Consistency: why mindset wins, why it takes years, and how digital mentors can rewire you Troy on Instagram: @troyblyden Troy’s website: troyblyden.com
