A common misconception in business is that an entrepreneur must be an expert in a particular field to create a successful business venture. Drew’s guest, Jeff Fenster, Founder and CEO of Everbowl, an assembly line style superfood bowl franchise is proof of the inaccuracy.

The beauty of growing and learning as humans is that sometimes we discover new techniques and practices that transcend what we previously thought was the most effective. Current healing methods for joint, nerve, muscle, and structural pain may involve an MRI or X Rays but what if we don’t need to put our bodies into machines to find and heal the source of our problem? That’s what Drew’s guest, Dr. Eugene Charles suggests.

Drew’s guest, Dr. Steven Hayes created the Acceptance and Commitment Theory (ACT) to help individuals emancipate themselves from unconscious habits and thoughts and become psychologically flexible.

As a nutritionist, when Brooke Alpert saw her husband’s physical health dwindling from an autoimmune disease, she tried valiantly to ease his condition with every tool in her toolbox.

Dr. Saladino may be best known for the unwarranted verbal lashing he received on the television show, The Doctors for stating his case for a strict carnivore diet.

During this episode, she shares how our emotions lead us toward certain types of food, how our mindset can shape our eating patterns and the 3 Pillar Process she uses to change people’s lives.  

During this episode, Drew speaks with one of the founders of UCAN, Peter Kaufman about how the team discovered the starch, how it improves workouts, and why it is a perfect addition to a keto diet.
