Welcome to the twelfth episode of the seventh season of the PSA: The Mental Health Podcast! In this episode, we delve into a truly unique topic - the art of "unbigging" your back for the summer through the strategic incorporation of fasting and protein in your diet. Designed to enlighten and equip our young millennial audience, this episode is a must-listen if you're looking to grasp and wield the power of these essential health practices. There is also a breakdown of the different types of fasting a person can and should do as well. We are excited to introduce our guest for this episode - the versatile and vibrant Eli Halpern. Wearing many hats as an entrepreneur, rapper, and stand-up comic, Eli is a man of many talents. His journey from selling his family's valuables on eBay, to his audacious claim that society operates like a pyramid scheme, to his unique chimpanzee diet, and his unfiltered insights on why we need to eliminate all forms of entertainment, including YouTube and the news, while fasting, creates a compelling conversation that you won't want to miss. A key highlight of this episode is our "Happy Hour" segment where we critically dissect the 2008 hit, "Look Back at It" by Trina. It’s a deep dive into the potential dangers of toxic lyrics, particularly for impressionable young listeners who sang along without fully understanding the implications. This raises pertinent questions about the content we consume and its subtle impact on our mental well-being. The episode unfolds to explore the role of discipline, its relationship with fasting, the crucial role of protein intake, and the often overlooked correlation between physical health and mental well-being. We also explore the intriguing realm of entrepreneurship, the therapeutic power of music and comedy on mental health, and the unexpected benefits of a sustainable, cricket-based diet on conditions such as anxiety and depression. Eli opens up about his groundbreaking venture - Golden Cricket, sharing his journey of raising an impressive $150K in a span of seven months, and offers practical advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. From emphasizing the importance of protein for mental health to explaining different fasting methods, Eli helps us comprehend these concepts in the broader context of a healthy lifestyle. We delve into how Eli’s martial arts training informs his business strategy and mental health approach. Moreover, we challenge conventional wisdom on fasting and nutrition, particularly the idea of insects as a viable protein source. Eli also takes us through his favorite podcast interviews, the role of his music in promoting Golden Cricket, and his ambitious future plans for the brand. Our weekly sabbatical segment offers tips for maintaining dietary discipline and examines various types of fasts. We round off the episode with our game-time segment, "Disciplinarian," where Eli navigates various scenarios, providing his view on whether the individuals in question exhibit discipline. Join us for an episode that's brimming with insightful conversations, unforgettable stories, and actionable tips for unbigging your back this summer, all through the mental health lens. As always, we conclude with a challenge for our listeners - are you prepared to initiate a fasting journey this summer?
