PLANTS ARE KILLING YOU AND SUCKING NUTRIENTS FROM YOUR BODY!! This is a common claim among "animal-based" diet proponents and it has caused a lot of confusion for people. 

So on this episode of the show I want to discuss the topic of anti-nutrients and toxic substances found in plant foods. In this episode we discuss

  • What the different compounds are that are classified as "plant toxins" 
  • What foods these foods are found in
  • How to reduce our exposure to these compuonds when appropriate
  • How the fear-mongering around these compounds is harming poeple 

And more.

Boysober

Boysober

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
