Last month, my wife and I traveled to Israel with Vibe Israel, an organization that brings international on- and offline opinion leaders in health and nutrition on a weeklong personalized experience of the burgeoning wellness scene in Israel.
I've already released two valuable lessons I learned on that Israel journey: "5 Things You Can Learn From The Burgeoning Health, Wellness And Nutrition Scene In Israel" and "Why You Get Cancer And What You Can Do About It". Today, you get to listen in as I interview one of the most amazing individuals I met on the Israel trip - a man named Alik Pelman. Alik completed his PhD in philosophy at the University of London and then took a break from academic life and went to learn how to grow food, becoming a professional organic farmer for two years. Alik then set up his own self-sufficient home in the small village of Clil, in Western Galilee. I had the pleasure of visiting him in his small hut, built almost entirely from local, natural materials. This is where he grows virtually all of his food, and spends most of his working hours doing farm chores, reading, writing and hosting curious visitors like me. In this show, you'll discover: -How to grow food on your roof... -How to use sheep's wool for insulation... -How to make walls out of completely edible corn flour porridge... -How to use natural oils to protect your floor and furniture... -How to build an efficient, composting toilet that uses no water... -How to easily rotate your garden crops for maximum yield... -How to grow and make your own bread, from seed to loaf...
Resources from this episode: -Alik's video that documents all stages of growing your own bread - from seed to loaf... -Israel Homestead. pdf handout that walks you step-by-step through how he built his eco-friendly hut... -My How To Biohack Ultimate Healthy Home book...
