Tired of reading all the contradictory perspectives on health and diet? Are you or do you know someone struggling to figure out their diet with a diagnosis, like epilepsy? This podcast is for you! This is your one-stop shop to your questions regarding diet and optimizing your health for top performance. Scott Sommer provides you with simple answers to holistic health, using your diet, which we’ve complicated with the products and by-products of the industrial revolution. Through his unique approach that merges western and eastern science and understanding about the body, Scott uses the analogy of a battery to describe the body and how his expertise in 30 different treatment modalities provides a synergistic and personalized approach to his clients’ needs. Foundationally, he expresses the importance of consuming organic and nutrient-dense food through his upbringing and comparisons between modern-era life to life nowadays. Scott reveals the epidemiology surrounding nutritional deficiencies and common health risks, promoting the Nutritarian diet as a holistic approach to optimizing longevity and performance.
