He uses his experience as a beekeeper in wealthy New York communities as evidence, and hopes the same fate does not occur in Hawaii.

  • 22. 3 Steps to Lowest Common Denominator

    This podcast is about taking a big picture view of one's health and wellness goals. David guides the listener through an exercise to identify underlying common causes of health issues, find one key area to focus on improving, and compare that to any smaller things they may be distracted by or focused on. The main point is to zoom out, look at the big picture, find the key leverage points, and focus efforts there for transformative results.

  • 19. Hanging Can Be Good For The Shoulders

    This Podcast is about the benefits of hanging exercises for shoulder health. It discusses how hanging can help decompress the shoulders and create more space in the joint, which can alleviate pain and improve range of motion. I  relate this to the idea that humans are meant to hang from branches like apes.

  • 18. How Literal Should I Take A Diet

    This Podcast is about the benefits and drawbacks of following diets very strictly. I talk about my personal experience with trying different diets, like the blood type diet and keto diet, and how sticking rigidly to a diet for a period of time can help determine which foods agree with you. I recommend following a diet strictly at first, for maybe a few weeks or months, to get clear feedback on how your body responds. Overall, I see diets as a means to an end rather than a permanent solution.
