thanks chris. one of my favourite health podcast eps ive listened to!
Glad you did a podcast on this, like you mentioned, people need a good resource for CBD and how it works in the body. Thanks!
I appreciate this response but it was completely unnecessary my opinion. I think it was clear to any objective observers that the tactics being used against you or not intellectual at all and we're simply ringside bully tactics that although most effective in a UFC ring do not hold water in an intellectual conversation. keep on keepin on sir.
being a vegetarian this was truly an eye opener episode. I would truly appreciate if you could create an episode on nutrition for vegetarian (not vegan) people
Good information
Dang. There was good info, but I couldn’t listen to it all because someone was typing.

Great podcast, loved it! The points they touch on always make a lot of sense.
Fantastic! I've been looking for a podcast like this. Super informative, unbiased, and comprehensive.
He mentioned soaking grains, and recommended including an acidic medium such as kefir, lemon water, etc. Does this go for legumes as well?
Hyman is a scam, almost everything he says can be refuted. I recommend Zach Bush and Rich Roll, extremely accomplished guys with way more knowledge. Now Unsubscribing from this podcast
I think cats do eat some fermented plant foods,as they eat the intestines of their prey,right? but nevertheless thanks for your podcast,it is always a pleasure listening to it.
