Episode notes
How Industry Shaped Modern Nutrition Policy
- Regulatory capture and industry influence shaped US dietary and medical systems, leading to monocultures of thought and suppressed natural therapies.
- Dave traces historical influence to Rockefeller and institutional control of medical education and policy.
Biohacking Restored Natural Fertility
- Dave used biohacking to restore his partner's fertility: removing estrogenic foods, optimizing thyroid, and gaining needed body fat.
- She conceived naturally at 39 and 42 after diet and hormone-focused interventions without IVF.
Skip Mass Market Green Powders
- Avoid buying generic green powders; they often mix many plant compounds that trigger sensitivities and offer little proven benefit.
- Dave calls green powders a common wasteful supplement category that may provoke allergies.
