Fueling the Human Machine / Axay Shah

He turned 50, watched his energy crash, and instead of reaching for a pill, he threw out cooked food entirely — 16 years later he's run eight marathons and never taken a single medication.Axay Shah, author of "In Nature We Trust," joins Brigitte to explain why he ditched cooked food at 50 and hasn't looked back. His philosophy is simple: if Mother Nature didn't make it, it doesn't go on his plate. No more diabetes, no blood pressure issues, no doctor visits — just raw fruits, vegetables, and a mantra he built his life around. Brigitte and Axay swap notes on food intolerances, the myths around dairy and calcium, and why listening to your body beats listening to marketing.3 Takeaways:(1) Energy dips aren't always "just aging" — sometimes it's what's on your plate.(2) Pain and soreness aren't the enemy; they're your body asking for repair, not a painkiller.(3) You are the one responsible for your health — not your doctor, not your parents, not your spouse.Curious if raw living could work for you?
