Eliminate processed food in your diet. That's the clear message of Dr. Chris Knnobe, a pioneering nutrition researcher and author who connected the dots between our modern diets and the rise of chronic diseases.

Ever heard of a business owner providing valuable insight about the importance of health? Jeffrey Feldberg, the founder of Deep Wealth, started his business in his parents’ attic. He ultimately sold it for nine figures.  But that's not why he's here.He learned to reverse engineer his failures to make better business decisions. When he experienced the death of his father, it left him devastated. He realized that if he didn’t take care of his own health, he wouldn’t be able to achieve the success he wanted in business. For him, the same way owners target KPIs or key performance indicators for their business, they should similarly develop specific KPIs for their health.Unfortunately, many business owners don’t pay enough attention to their health and that’s how Jeffrey wants to help his fellow entrepreneurs. In this episode, Jeffrey Fedlberg discusses the concept of reverse engineering failures, the importance of sleep and mindset, and how physical health is intertwined with the health of your business.

Reading the science changed Nina Teicholz’s perspective on nutrition. She’s a journalist and author who is known for her work on nutrition and health. As a vegetarian with a food review column, she had to eat red meat—exactly the dishes she stayed away from. However, upon checking with her doctor, she was surprised to find that her cholesterol actually improved. This experience led Nina to read the science behind nutrition.  In this conversation, she tells us why saturated fats are not the villain, how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing popular narratives, and through her writing and advocacy, inspires us to question what we know and seek the truth. Nina understands the cost of speaking up against the nutrition industry and she remains committed to sharing the truth. She’s not giving up on that.Quick Guide03:09 Introduction 06:27 How saturated fat became the villain11:13 Reading the science 17:38 The oils that can cause cancer and heart attack 30:37 No journalists are questioning the findings of the American Heart Association 35:44 Getting the message out there 39:15 Journalists stopped acting as the fourth estate 43:56 Average consumers need access to information51:57 Closing and contactsGet to know our guestNina Teicholz, the journalist who wrote The Big Fat Suprise, is the founder of Nutrition Coalition.
