Yuri Elkaim is a popular name in the world of health and nutrition, but it wasn’t like that before. In fact, Yuri was practically clueless when it came to nutrition, but he did love sports especially soccer/football. His life changing moment was when he realized his bouts of hair loss were brought about by an autoimmune issue called alopecia. Doctors couldn’t explain why, so he thought he would live the rest of his life hairless.
It wasn’t until he learned about holistic nutrition that he ended up curing himself. He has since strived to help those around him, to give them hope that there is still a way to treat whatever health issues they might have.
Today, Yuri tells us his story of how he became the Yuri we know now, his thoughts on the whole “Metabolism is like a fireplace” analogy, why he thinks fasting is good for you, the importance of sleep when it comes to making decisions, and why we should learn to decipher when we’re hungry and when we’re full without relying on an eating schedule.
“There's no law that says 'thou shall have to do cardio after my weight training.'” Yuri Elkaim

Dr. Terry Wahls - Mitochondrial Health & Wellness - Overcoming MS (Multiple Sclerosis) with Dr. Terry Wahls - Part 2
Terry Wahls is largely known for her Terry Wahls Protocol as well as her other books, seminars, and blogs. She is not shy to say that she was once dependent on conventional medicine and didn’t really consider lifestyle and dietary changes when it comes to treating patients. All that changed when she was able to reverse her Multiple Sclerosis through the use of functional medicine and she has since been one of its many advocates.
In part 2 of our episode, Terry shares with us her thoughts about the food industry, the so-called “Diet Wars”, as well as why she thinks the future of medicine will be something to look forward to.
"The structure is set up to favor corporations making industrial food that maximize profits at the expense of health.” Terry Wahls

Dr. Terry Wahls - Mitochondrial Health & Wellness - Overcoming MS (Multiple Sclerosis) with Dr. Terry Wahls - Part 1
Terry Wahls is a speaker, doctor, and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. She’s also a staunch promoter of functional medicine by way of lifestyle and dietary changes which lead her to eventually coin her own lifestyle program called the Terry Wahls Protocol.
Before all this, she was a patient diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a disabling disease that slowly reduces the quality of life of its victim. She went to the best doctors and best facilities and despite conventional treatment, she was still in decline and eventually forced to be on a wheelchair.
Her turning point was when she learned about the Paleo Diet and how she redesigned that diet to conform with what her body needed. The result was a super nutrient dense paleo diet that ended up reversing her MS.
Today, Terry shares us her life story, how she began her journey, her many challenges, and her advocacies towards the future of medicine.
"It's not about the drugs, it's not about the supplements,
it's about how we run our lives.”

Dr. Cate Shanahan is a family medicine physician, author, and sports health consultant. She currently consults for the LA Lakers and has been their official consultant for the past five years. Cate believes that the modern diet is the root cause of why the current generation is not as healthy or resistant to disease than the generations that came before it. She determined this when she studied the food culture in Hawaii, a population known to have a more exotic diet than what we have here in the U.S. She now champions what she calls the Anti-Fad diet, a diet that simply lets a person eat the way we used to before mass industrialization took over.
Today, Cate gives us her opinion on why the modern diet is causing us to get sick, why she believes in the idea of natural eating, and why she thinks sugar is only the second worst food ingredient in the world today.
"The thing that's making us unhealthy is the modern diet.” Dr. Cate Shanahan
