"If people just slow down and had a different perspective, whether that be through psychedelics, or through their own meditation or whatever they want us to get, there will be a much better place." - Chris Bell

Chris 'Boar' Bell joins Adam in this episode of Up and Adam. He is a director, producer and writer, best known for his documentaries Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Leaf of Faith, Trophy Kids, and Prescription Thugs. He's also a carnivore and a co-host of the Better Stronger Faster Podcast with William Shewfelt. Today, he opens up about his life struggles, diet and drug habits and how they made him who he is.

Addictions are hard to accept and overcome. Chris and Adam talk about different drugs and their usages today, including Ibogaine and CBD, and discuss why they are still depended on by people. We learn more about Chris’ carnivore diet and his reasons for starting one. We also dive deeper into pharmaceutical company’s and doctors’ views on drugs, discussing the many ways they impact society. How do diet and drugs affect the entirety of your existence? Is there a major positive to drug consumption, and if yes, how do you recover from an addiction? Tune in to the episode today as Chris and Adam take the complications out of these questions for you!
