In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, Dr. Akil Palanisamy joins Chris to discuss his integrative, five-step protocol combining Functional Medicine and Ayurveda to address the root cause of autoimmunity instead of treating just the symptoms. You’ll learn how to address toxins, heal infections, improve your gut health, learn to eat right, and consciously rest and rebalance in order to optimize your immune health and vitality.

In this episode of Revolution Health Radio, global nutrition scientist Ty Beal joins Chris to discuss the planetary health diet EAT-Lancet, its goals for humans and the environment, and how well it actually meets the nutrient needs of the global population.

A critic of the diet, Ty Beal, also shares what response the researchers of this proposed diet have had to his concerns about its ability to meet the nutrient demands of the population.

Ridge Shinn, CEO of Big Picture Beef, and writer/environmental advocate Lynne Pledger join Chris on Revolution Health Radio to discuss their new book, Grass-Fed Beef for a Post-Pandemic World.

They review the science supporting regenerative farming and its ability to restore barren land and regrow native plant species, and they debunk popular critiques against raising cattle for food, including methane and carbon dioxide emissions.
