The Ultimate NAD episode with Jeanne Pitre & Tom Ingoglia from the Longevity Collective

We often hear that certain foods are "good" or "bad" for us. But what if the real key to health isn't about avoiding specific foods, but rather embracing diversity in our diets? In this Longevity podcast episode, I am joined by nutrition expert Joel Greene to discuss how nature's meal plan is built on variety and balance. We dive into ancestral eating patterns including periods of "foraging" followed by occasional feasts, why even "superfoods" can become problematic if eaten too often, and how to mitigate the effects of less-than-ideal meals. We also discuss the surprising benefits of foods like oats, bananas, and cactus and why short-term results don't always translate to long-term health. Joel Greene is the creator of the VEEP Nutrition System. He is a featured author, speaker, and guest in top-tier publications and his system has been featured on the Dr. Phil Show (among other shows), where it has delivered astounding life-changing results. He is the author of books such as The Immunity Code and his new book, "The Way: The Immunity Code Diet."
