We’ve been sold a lie about health—and it’s killing us. In this episode, I sit down with Alex Conley, founder of Kono Nutrition, to expose the hidden truths behind mainstream health, from the lies of processed food to the dangerous myths of fitness culture. We dive into why most of what you’ve been taught about nutrition is backward, how your gut health controls your mood, and the foods that are quietly destroying your energy and vitality. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” but still don’t feel your best, this episode will blow your mind. ——————— 00:00 - Intro 02:18 - Alex Conley’s story: From leukemia to holistic health 07:09 - How fitness culture can destroy your health 12:35 - Why gut health is the foundation of your mood and energy 16:43 - The hidden dangers of processed foods and pesticides 23:01 - How Western medicine lost its way 29:27 - The calorie myth: Why it’s not just about weight loss 35:12 - How food impacts your mental clarity and focus 41:04 - Artificial sweeteners and their impact on your body 47:33 - The role of addiction in gut health and brain function 52:56 - Understanding the difference between real and fake food 58:21 - How seed oils are silently ruining your health 1:03:45 - The truth about cholesterol and heart health 1:09:28 - The food industry’s manipulation of science 1:16:11 - Why “eating clean” transforms your life 1:22:48 - Building resilience through mindful eating 1:29:37 - Small changes for big health improvements 1:35:19 - Closing thoughts ——————— Please like, comment, and subscribe if this episode resonates with you.
