Summary: <br> <br> When it comes to our health, Americans are a fickle bunch. Some of us are very into it, and others, like I was, simply don't even know where to start.<br> <br> For me personally, health was never a big focus of mine growing up. I only went to a doctor when I was on death's door. However, my mom, would go all the time. The more she went, however, the more they'd give her meds to deal with whatever issue she was dealing with at the time. I swear, by the time she passed suddenly in 2010, she probably was downing 8 pills daily? I'm sure you know someone like that.<br> <br> Today, I still don't go to the doctor regularly. Opting instead to treat myself for any ailments and hoping that I'm eating correctly. For one, I simply don't want the possibility of them just covering up symptoms of underlying issue. For my mom, they could have simply said, "stop eating sugar" and/or "here are some alternate ideas". Instead they decided that giving her (and many other Baby Boomers) a pill concoction will be much more welcome.<br> <br> Secondly, most of the nutrition advice that I see others taking today still says that carbs are ok to eat, sugar is ok in moderation, and that fat is bad. Personally, I don't subscribe to that info.<br> <br> Today's guest is someone that can shine a ton of light on this issue. During the day, David is flying for a major airlines. However, when it's time to put on his other hat as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, you can see him making a major push to get out the knowledge he has in preventing ailments. In this session's interview with David, we talk about his passion in holistic health, how he got into it, what his thought are some of the more popular diets out there, and how someone can embrace holistic health into their lifestyle.<br> <br> If you're serious about improving your health and not going through the same treatment that many of our parents and grandparents have gone through, then this chat with David should really benefit you.
