003: Dan Churchill - Discovering The Best Diet For Optimal Health

On this episode, I chat with Dan Churchill, a great friend and wise council on all things nutrition. Dan is an author, CEO of Charley St protein grounds, and NYC-based performance chef who works with celebrities and professional athletes to reach their fitness goals. We clear up some confusion on trending diet topics (ever heard of seed oils?), help you find the best diet for your goals, expose false nutritional claims, and break down Dan's plant-based dieting experiment. Oh, and we discuss if you should take liver pills...enjoy the episode!
