176. Danica Patrick: Breast implants ruined her health

Today on the podcast, Paul interviews Danica Patrick, an American former professional racing driver. She is the most successful woman in the history of American open-wheel car racing. In the interview, Danica opens up about her health journey from breast implants, to heavy metal toxicity, and what she is doing now to achieve optimal health in terms of food, mind, body, and spirit.

A note from Paul: Throughout my training and practice as a physician I have come to one very disappointing conclusion: Western medicine isn’t helping people lead better lives. Now that I’ve realized this, I’ve become obsessed with understanding what makes us healthy or ill. I want to live the best life I can and I want to be able to share this knowledge with others so that they can do the same. This podcast is the result of my relentless search to understand the roots of chronic disease. If you want to know how to live the most radical life possible I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
