In this episode with repeat guest Joel Greene, you’ll get to explore a unique dietary pattern inspired by nature's rhythms—foraging, fasting, and feasting. Joel introduces a powerful two-day cycle that mirrors ancient eating habits, alternating between foraging and an "amplified fast" to optimize body renewal. Along the way, you'll discover how this method boosts GLP-1 for appetite control and balances nutrient intake with smart food pairings. Plus, Joel shares tips on using pre-dinner shakes, resistant starches, and even cold plunges to enhance satiety, fitness, and overall health, while highlighting the crucial role of nitric oxide and a healthy microbiome.
Joel is the creator of Veep Nutrition, the world's first commercially available program based on targeting gut communities to affect health and body composition. His system has been used by some of the nation's largest employers, including major cities and hospitals and featured on Dr. Phil Show storylines.
He is the author of The Immunity Code: The New Paradigm for Real Health and Radical Anti-Aging. Joel has devoted over 50 years to the pursuit of health, nutrition and anti-aging. He was training with intervals in the 1970s, taking MCTs in the late '80s, following keto in the early '90s, and targeting AMPK by 2009. At age 55, he is a 100 percent natural athlete and uses no ergogenic aids while working out (on average once per week) and eats whatever whenever.
Get ready for a rich and informative episode that rethinks modern dietary practices by embracing ancestral wisdom and cutting-edge science. Whether you're interested in diet hacks, longevity, or groundbreaking nutrition insights, you won't want to miss this episode!
