<p>My guest today is a true Renaissance man: a #1 best-selling author, award-winning talk show host, professional musician, and entrepreneur. He and his girlfriend packed up an RV and left home to live in state parks, remote towns, and the wild for two years! You're going to love his stories about how truly unplugging changed his views on food and eating. From deep-fried crickets to zoodles, he's tried it all! (And wait until you hear the weirdest thing I've ever eaten...) The result is his amazing book The Wild Diet, which demystifies all the dieting dogma and draws connections between the way people eat all over the world. Buckle up -- it's going to be a wild (diet) ride!</p>
