Episode notes

I think plant defense chemicals are not benign. I do not believe they have a clear, haormatic effect in humans. If you don't like your fresh organs, get some desiccated organs from grass fed, grass finished cattle in New Zealand. Their fruit is going to be much less toxic and is probably the preferred part of plant throughout our history as humans. There's no one exact diet that's going to be ideal for every single human on the planet.

Are plant defense chemicals real? Are they a problem for humans? Paul addresses these questions in today’s podcast along with why he believes they are harmful for many people at a molecular level.

A note from Paul: Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
