Fueling the Human Machine / Axay Shah

from Real Things Living Hosted by Brigitte Cutshall

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.
