Today’s guest is Madison Prewett. Madi is most notably known for being a finalist on Season 24 on ABC’s The Bachelor in 2020.

My guest today is my friend Simon Hill. Simon is a top nutritionist, working with folks like Chris Hemsworth, and hosts the Plant Proof podcast which is one of the top health & fitness podcasts in Australia. Simon is a true expert on all things nutrition—he has a Master's in nutrition science and has other nutrition degrees from places like Cornell. His new book, “The Proof Is In The Plants”, made its global debut earlier this week and is already a bestseller and sold out nearly everywhere. The good news is that you can still get his book on Audible and the link to buy it is in the show notes. The book provides a deep dive into all things nutrition, highlighting the benefits of a whole-food, mostly plant-based diet. While Simon practices a vegan diet himself, he is not dogmatic about no meat, and even believes that meat, dairy, and eggs can all be part of a very healthy diet. (He thinks the diet wars between the various groups are counterproductive.)   Some of the things I discuss with Simon: Why controversial foods like Soy and Dairy CAN be HEALTHY Why all SCIENCE isn’t created EQUAL (and what the hierarchy of science is) How eating processed foods leads to overconsumption of calories Foods that increase/decrease your lifespan What to look for when choosing health accounts to follow on social media How to be plant-based AND eat animal products Simple wins to move towards eating an optimal diet (and what the science says about this) Cutting edge research on dairy, fermented foods, dark leafy greens and berries.

TikTok star Tayler Harber on How Going to Prison For Armed Robbery Saved Her Life!!!   Just 4 years ago 19 year old Tayler Harber thought her life was over when she went to prison for armed robbery.  But, today she has gained over a million followers on Tiktok where she uses her platform to turn her pain into purpose. Tayler was a 3 sport athlete and a model student in grade school. But, after a fight in high school became quite public, Tayler was banned from playing sports her senior year and it devastated her.  She went on to barely graduate and her life started to fall apart.  Tayler ended up getting caught up in the wrong crowd and began using hard drugs to numb the pain.  Things went downhill fast and one year after graduating high school, Tayler would be arrested on armed robbery charges. This came after a botched attempt to rob a drug dealer with a few friends of hers at the time. She was taken to jail, charged and a $250,000 bond was set for her release. Despite a heartwarming plea to the judge for some mercy for being a first-time offender, she was sentenced to prison. Shortly after her incarceration, she entered a prison boot camp program that would end up saving her life. Today she is here to walk you through exactly how she went from that prison cell to using her 1M+ social media platform to share her story, break the stigma and inspire others.    Connect with Tayler by clicking here   Connect with Doug by clicking here   Special thanks to this episodes sponsors:   BiOptimizers/Magnesium Breakthrough: Go to www.magbreakthrough.com/doug and use the code DOUG10 to save 10 percent when you try Magnesium Breakthrough.   Earth Echo Foods/Cacao Bliss: www.earthechofoods.com/dougbopst Use Promo code "Doug" at checkout to receive 15% off your order       Learn more about your ad choices.
