Fake Food & Modern Medicine: Reclaim Your Health W/ Nature’s Wisdom Feat. Daniel Vitalis #292

Daniel Vitalis has been on the show a few times before, but every time he comes back, I learn something new — and boy oh boy is there a lot to learn in this episode.

We discussed the first season of Daniel’s new TV show — “WildFed” — the last time he was on the show. But now it’s out, I’ve seen it, and it’s fantastic. This is a culinary adventure series where you follow Daniel to eight different, extreme locales to hunt, fish, and forage wild ingredients, turning them into delicious meals. It’s a lot of fun to watch, and there are also HUGE director’s cuts that offer in-depth, behind-the-scenes looks for each episode. And you can use code LUKE15 for 15% off WildFed Season 1 + Director's Cuts at vimeo.com/ondemand/wildfeds1dc!

A true hero of the wild world, and one of the few modern-day hunter-gatherers we have left, Daniel is the perfect guide for anyone who’s interested in getting a little wilder. Even if you’re not interested in learning to hunt, fish, and forage, Daniel can still help you live a modern life while staying connected to nature in a visceral way.

There are few people more thoughtful about the environment and their role in it than Daniel, but it’s something we could all stand to get a little (or a lot) better at.

JOOVV. I learned through this podcast just how important natural light is for your body and your health, and there’s a reason Joov is the #1 red light therapy brand in the world: their devices are sleek, powerful, FDA-cleared, and come in a variety of sizes to fit your lifestyle. It’s actually the single easiest health intervention I do and it has some of the biggest results. Plus, new research is showing that red light therapy is great for regulating womens’ hormone health, and I know it’s done great things for my testosterone levels.

AND…

 

BIOPTIMIZERS. Starting in the 80’s, supplement companies began pushing massive protein consumption. We all believed that “more protein = more muscle growth.” But I’m here to tell you that IT’S A BIG FAT LIE. It doesn’t matter if you’re consuming 30 or 300 grams of protein — if you don’t have a sufficient supply of enzymes to digest protein, your muscles will be starving for those vital building blocks. That’s why it’s crucial you take a high-quality enzyme. The one I trust (and use myself) is called MassZymes by BiOptimizers, a full-spectrum enzyme formula with more protease than any other commercially available. Plus, it contains all the other key enzymes you need for optimal digestion. And you can try it today, risk-free. Their 365-day FULL money-back guarantee is the gold standard in the industry. Use code “luke10” for 10% off (and see MassZymes dissolve a raw steak) at www.masszymes.com/luke.
