Nutrients w/ Alice Nguyen NMD & Amir Mofidi

Today on the show Todd is joined by the two people who helped transform his body from a nutrient-perspective: Alice Nguyen and Amir Mofidi. Alice serves as the head of naturopathic medicine at Stark, while Amir leads their personal branding. Together Alice and Amir have helped Todd rebuild his body composition from the ground up by focusing on the nutrients he consumes and how they affect his body composition, body fat percentage, and energy levels. These two are experts when it comes to what we put into our bodies and how our bodies absorb those nutrients. Together with Todd they break down what exactly micronutrients and macronutrients are and how they affect the body, concrete ways to improve your health from a nutrition standpoint, and the benefits and dangers of meat (and what exactly “meat” means today). The conversation wraps up with Alice and Amir sharing their no. 1 pieces of advice for individuals wanting to optimize their health by being more conscious about what they eat. We are what we consume, but we can choose to be informed about how those nutrient choices are affecting our overall health and wellbeing.
